Wow, what a fantastic performance, yet again! It's incredible how you make the greatest performances of one Alkan piece after the other. I know about every Alkan piece and various performances of each, but yours are some of the best!
I can listen to this music over and over and over again,..... Uplifting, melancholic, dramatic and beautiful, emotions grows every time. Stunning performance! Thank you!
I think Alkan's Op.15 is the darkest piece he has ever written! The 3 Pieces in the Op.15 are all dark, gloomy, and lonely. Actually my favorite Alkan's piece is op.15! Masterpiece of masterpiece!
Excellent!! Powerful! But, allow me to note that, IMHO, the less sustain pedal is used while playing Alkan works (especially in bravura passages), the best these sound. There should be pearl-like crispiness and clarity, instead of the loud waves of pseudo "Romantic" noisy explosions. Smooth legato and polished touche in fast passagework could beautifully replace the extended use of the sustain pedal, IMHO. Wish you all the best! Domo arigato!
I will humbly note that pearl-like technique is connected to Chopin, but is not necessarily supposed to be expected from every pianist-composer in the first half of the romantic period century. In Alkan's case, it may be more with Romantic loudness - it is more like Russian romantic playing, not to note Jewish origins of Alkan's work which also implies more rough feelings than crispiness attached to the Northern part of Europe or Paris and its sophisticated atmosphere. But I agree less sustain pedal would be more loveable)
I'd like to see the people who disliked the chef's cooking cook a better meal. I'd like to see the people who disliked the movie to make a better movie. I'd like to see the people who disliked the house to build a better house.
Princess Lena -- I'm very tired of seeing this all-too-common "Let's see YOU do better" comment. It's like saying, "For everyone who disliked the baseball game, I would like to see them get on the field and perform better than the players." It's perfectly reasonable to dislike something even if you couldn't do better yourself. That's why the insights of sports commentators are valued. They don't have to be able to outplay the athletes to make a valid, critical point about athletic performance. It is perfectly reasonable to hold experts to higher standards in their fields of expertise than we would hold ourselves. Major music competitions are judged by people who don't always have the ability to play as well as the competitors, but they have nuanced and meaningful ways of evaluating the performances nonetheless.
Yui Morishita has the best interpretations of every Alkan piece he decides to perform, it's incredible

my favorite is op 15 too
It reminds me of liszt's totentanz
A great masterpiece!! Fantastic performance! What a pity that Alkan has been greatly underrated and neglected by most pianists!
Well done, Mr. Yui Morishita, your interpretation of Alkan music are so great! By the way, this piece really reminds me Liszt's Totentanz.
The best performance of the piece for me, I like little notches like that right-hand slip at 9:18
this is masterpiece
Wow..... incredible playing!
I first thought I heard the Totentanz.
You are not wrong, they share the theme from a Latin hymn called Dies Irae.
That is fantastic, I didn't know that about the Dies Irae.
dahalofreeek Is not the theme of Berlioz?
It s gregorian theme but the first in use it was Berlioz
@@adriatorras8077 its the Dies Irae with the most mixtapes ever
I hear the dies irae!!
Me too!!!
10:56 this melody reminds me of something!
You are so amazing!!!
TERRIFYING. BEAUTIFUL. DIABOLIC.
Bravo!!

アルカンさんの生まれ変わり説
It is so similar to liszt's totentanz!
I'd like to see the seven people who disliked this play a piece, written by Alkan no less, with this much fluency and expression.
I'd like to see the people who disliked the chef's cooking cook a better meal. I'd like to see the people who disliked the movie to make a better movie. I'd like to see the people who disliked the house to build a better house.

Puerile comment.
My comment applies to P Lena.
I love this piece and your interpretation! It's funny that, this piece was dedicated to Liszt, and Liszt just used the melody in his Totentanz.
素晴らしい(ρд-)
D excepție.
ああ‼️
オススメに突然でてきました。
ライブ・ア・ライブ‼️‼️‼️
名前をみて即反応✨
こんなにバリバリのピアニストさんなら29周年LIVE
オディオのフーガ、余計に弾いてほしかった～‼️‼️‼️
もったいない～‼️‼️‼️
と思っていた方はほとんどだったハズ‼️‼️‼️
アレンジや段取りの関係、突然電子ピアノに変更した事とかいろいろあった事でしょう。
尚更聴きたかったです～‼️‼️‼️
そうだろ 松っ‼️‼️‼️

ㄷㄷ
Dies irae
The beginning is liszts totentanz
No. Rather, both works quote the Dies Irae plainchant.
Rosie Fay, correct!
Rosie Fay Is not also Berlioz?
It s gregorian theme but the first in use it was Berlioz
No it's fucking not
