Stunning. I am very grateful to have access to this wonderful recording as I try to master (or at least approximate) the beauty of this piece. Thank you.
What a sublime performance! Very true as Petrarca Sonnet 123: "I beheld on earth angelic grace.." Thank you so much for sharing this beauty, Bernhard! So kind!
I’ve been working on this piece for a little while now and I’ve listened to a lot of recordings. I think your elegant interpretation is very consistent with how Liszt marked the score. It can be turned into bravura in places by making rapid accelerations but I don’t see that Liszt is asking for that. It’s a beautiful, delicate and contemplative piece with some more urgent sections. I am also trying to bring this authenticity to my own performance (which sadly, as always, will be recorded on my trusty upright on a less trusty iPhone !). I do wish Liszt had marked the arpeggios in the last line as bottom to top instead of bottom and top in parallel . I may just have to “misread” those 😳
Sounds most beautiful at my end. The level was a little high compared to other video. I did have to turn the volume down a tad from my usual level, but once I did, I felt the sound recording, mixing, and mastering were sublime. I suspect the sound was mastered as close to 0 dB as possible, vs. -3 dB as many other videos might have been. Also, I think the close-range microphones captured very nuanced "growling" of the low end a lot more than usually heard on other videos, something we are not used to. I am also guessing that they decided not to scoop out the mid-low when mixing & mastering as many others do to reduce the "muddy" perception, which I am glad they did because I think it sounds more "true". The combination of all those above might have contributed to your distorted perception. It's just perfect for me.
@@bernhardruchti I was so glad I found your channel. I love your interpretations of the pieces, the choices of songs, your techniques, the video production, the sound recording. Everything is top notch world class.

Very distorted at my end. Was this mastered?

Thank you for that explanation - I am not an expert on this myself, I can only say that my sound engineers brought the sound to perfection.
