I'm allmost speechless.How stunning! And so rare to hear a harpist use so many colours to get the right athmosphere. Never heard an Erard before. Suddenly your is in the 19th century. Thank you so much for uploading.
Excellent rendition.....and on that harp with the straight sounding board, the way he plays the 'dry' sound closer to the sounding board AND how he plays it.....I hope that harpists WATCH his technique to NOT ONLY get the 'notes' BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE SOUND
placeksue the 'dry' sound that all harpist should listen to is just a basic technique that harpist are taught quite early on, it's when you play closer to the sound board we often use it to make the piece sound less muddy and clean like he uses it here!! :))))
Que maravilloso instrumento,soy musico y me fascinan todos los instrumentos de cuerda,pero el arpa es de esos pocos instrumentos que con solo verlos me abruma de varias maneras,son muchas cuerdas,muchos años de practica y tanta dedicación,esfuerzo y talento me sorprenden. Felicidades por tal calidad. PD:Que recuerdos de Tom y Jerry :)
Liszt, that 1898 Gothic Erard, and YOU = Deadly! Absolutely fantabulous, and supersplindiferous! Gorgeous sound, stunning technique and rendition. Bravo! Regards, The '62 Mathew St. 1-Man-Band (Total Retro Rock)
So incredibly wonderful.... and the harp sounds really beautiful like a bell but round and warm but brilliant and clear also ! (This is a pedaling nightmare! Not to mention having to use the little finger...which we never use!)
Nice words coming from a harpist, I suppose. 😊🙃 I am just a music lover, a Liszt admirerer and a harp enthusiast. The original piece is written for the piano I believe, so I tried to listen to it but soon gave up. Sylvain Blassel here is not only a wonderful harpist but a co-composer. I keep listening to this piece, I can't get enough of it, always a great pleasure to listen to it in full.
Is there any sheet music available? I have researched - can't find anything??? Please let me know - I would like something like this as a "show stopper" ....
Just to set the record straight. Harpo marx never performed this song. It was beyond his abilities. He had harpist Robert Maxwell play it for him and he mimed it for the camera.. He also did not give Robert Maxwell any credit. The song was played in Night in Casablanca. Info from American Harp Journal Winter 2012 volume.
C'est magnifiquement interprété, mais je trouve que la pièce n'est pas adaptée à la harpe...pourquoi vouloir la dénaturer à la harpe alors que la version originale au piano est tellement belle ?

That is very difficult. Impressive

Josh Deffenbaugh is it?
I think this is probably some of the most impressive harp playing I have heard. I play a small lever harp, but this is Something Else.

BRAVISSIMO, IMPRESSIONANTE ! Grazie per averci regalato le sue interpretazioni ! Complimenti anche per le immagini filmate !
I must say... its a truly wonderful piece of music this one. So well played and so.... magnificent!
I love classical music with this eastern influence. Just beautiful. Nothing like it.
romantic music*
Magnifique ....j'adore Franz Liszt...depuis 50ans au moins !
Hi Sylvain, absolutely magnificent; great playing of such demanding music. Best Wishes from London.

transfers to the harp great, love this
Great player and music. Excellent work! ♥️.👏👏🌟
Am I the only one thinking that the shadow looks like it's playing a piano?
i have no name to think of today smh ♡
NO!
My Dad so passionately could play this on the piano. 💔 Miss your gift, Dad, Harry Coyle Foard
I swear when he began the friska part with the up octave bounces, I was sure it's piano background sound
Lol it really does look like it
YES
I am such a fan. So glad I found this!
I really like how this showcases the lowest register of the harp in the first half; it's not often that you get to hear those notes so exposed!
Extraordinaire! Ma pièce de Liszt préférée, jouée sur mon instrument préféré, par un musicien hors du commun!

I've heard Hungarian Rapsode before.
There's something addictive about it this time.
Потрясающе!!!
Bloody amazing.
Виртуозно!!!
VERY NICE, Sylvain...;) L.

说实话老师侧颜真的好像David Bowie 哈哈哈哈真的帅，匈牙利狂想曲演绎的好棒
Astonishing ♥
HI, is there a score for this? Thanks and outstanding performance!
Woah!!!!!!!!
amazing
Why does he use his pinky to pull the low C at 0:49? That's not really a thing that I've seen harpists do.
Hannah L yeah we're not suppose to use it but I think he use it to be a bit faster
@@heidia6873 But it's faster to use the ring finger, since it has longer reach :v
Very creative and impressive, although I feel the ending was a bit rushed.
nailed it
@AdalineLove Totalement d'accord! Et Liszt lui-même jouait bien du Bach, non?
Does anyone know whether there are tapes of this artist available?
This is what I call true skill.
Wow
Amazing! My compliments! Which harp is it? It sounds beautiful. :)
Is there any sheet music available? I have researched - can't find anything??? Please let me know - I would like something like this as a "show stopper" ....
Dear master, when are you coming to play concerts in switzerland?
Most harp players are boring even with a great technique. You sound fantastic!
太厉害了 超级喜欢这个小哥哥
5:45 totally shocked me
C'est volontaire de jouer les cordes très bas au début, pour sonner un peu comme un cymbalum ?

I have been saying this since the article came out. I have been written off as delusional.
Life is a rhapsodie.

Nagyszerű, mester, tökéletesség - imádom ezt az eszközt,
Hallgassa meg ezt, barátaim

와....
a world class male harpist is a unicorn.
hhholy shit this is damn good
C'est magnifiquement interprété, mais je trouve que la pièce n'est pas adaptée à la harpe...pourquoi vouloir la dénaturer à la harpe alors que la version originale au piano est tellement belle ?
Parce que les harpistes parfois aussi veulent jouer cette piece :)
Dear God...heavenly
5 fingers!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
we'll all be playing the harp ourselves, lets learn something from the masters first!
