    This is one of my favourite pieces of music. When Liszt first performed this piece he very likely demonstrated that he was there top pianist in the world at that time.Hats off to the most challenging instrument in Totentnz...the triangle player jeez he rocked! Great performance of a most technically challenging symphonic piece!

      You're right, it's one of Liszt's very finest works.
      If you want to hear a totally wild interpretation of this wild composition, full of the terror, horror and beauty of the Day of Judgement, listen to the live solo version by John Ogdon from Butler University on TH-cam, it's stunningly brilliant and truly equal to the original frescos by Orcagna.

    Totentanz are Slovak dances, because from the defeat of Great Moravia in 907 until the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the Hungarians called Slovaks Toth, because they subverted and destroyed their state of Great Moravia. That is why the state of Great Moravia was dead.

    Brilliant technique by Chamayou and very solid performance by this Radio-Orchestra. Unfortunately without any dynamics and emotions. A rather uninspiring interpretation. There are many better examples here on TH-cam where you can literally feel death's grip on your neck. Totentanz is one of the gems of classical music, but in order to show it's true beauty it needs true artists just like a diamond needs gifted cutters.
