Best interpretation of Liszt I've ever heard. And let's all stop comparing Maksin to this composer and that composer and that pianist. Why can't you just enjoy his talent and accept him for who he is Maksim Mrvica, who is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! :) To have grown up during war-time in his country and to have made it this far is amazing to say the least and God bless him for that alone.
I think that this piece, while far removed from the original source, really captures the darkness and deathly captivating ENERGY of the original piece. I love it a lot. It also has a new-wave energy and feel to it that Maksim is known and loved for. All things said and done, I love this arrangement.
I love him so much! And i appreciate finding his videos here because in my country is kind of hard to get such wonderful music, even if we are able to pay for it. Actualy, i don´t see people in my country having a good musical taste... It´s a shame!
watever said and done... maksim in a wonderful pianist... such talent should be appreciated and not insulted.... loving this and all his other performances =)
you are so right, he's got me drawn =) I don't know anything about pianos or pianists but i happened upon Maksim through figure skating and I love his versions!
all you purists out there who hate him because he doesnt play conventional piano pieces need to open your eyes and just admit the fact that hes introducing so many young people to classical music who probarbly never heard of liszt before they listend to this piece. I cant stop listening to him. dnt judge him for doing a crossover version of Totentanz.i listen to just about every genre there is. i feel that inorder to love music, you must love EVERY aspect of music
To whom that complain he can't play piano, you guys should search for his live performance, like "The Flight Of The Bumble-bee" and "Hungarian Rhapsody". You will disagree with what u've said. He is talented, he is a legend.
Very very origional and unique. You have to give him credit for that. I was looking for some proper Liszt but nevermind, this managed to get my foot tapping. Interesting stuff
surely he must have some joy from what he plays here, by the look on his face and his copious amounts of body 'love' this is true art in it's finest form...
I love this Man!!!!! he is without a doubt my absolute idol!!!!! i love this piece! (mind you i cant say if this or the whole of the 'electrik' album is my fave! hehe. and to top it all off. i saaw him live last night in london! and met him! hall of the mountain king live..all i can say is wow!
I'm sick of people saying that Maksim has destroyed a piece of music. He's taking classical music that youngsters of today would probably not care for and making it appeal to them! This is why Maksim is GREAT! And i've love to see anyone else play the piano like he does!!
haha...i know he may not be the best pianist in the world, but his interpretations are intriguing enough to get so many young people interested in classical music. drawing the justin timberlake-pop crowd into the classical arena is a great accomplishment, i think.
he bring classical music to entirely new audience who probably otherwise would never listen to this kind of music. I think he is a bridge to many more people accepting classical music in the same way Vanessa Mae does
@Scottondanet I went and saw his solo concert and it was amazing, I highly recommend it, when it's just Maksim and his piano with no backing it is truely magical!
Guys use your head. It ain't suppose to be like the original. It's introducing the piece in a style that the younger people would wanna hear. I never listened to the original version until I heard this, then I fell in love with the original.
@Rheostatik .... stop complaining just because you can't appreciate music .. what you dont understand is that he has actual talent .. he not only listens to music but he has the talent and guts to change the music and bring it to a whole new audience .. its not about what type of music this is .. its about how many people it can touch ... music is all about expression .. this is how he expresses himself .. just because you can't understand it .. doesnt give you the right to judge it ...
music is music whether they are interpretations or original pieces, it is what it is. Even if everyone believes that the song is an abomination, it is still music because the artist who created it or interpreted it believes whatever they feel and that's still music. Makism is epic just like many of these new age guys. Big love to them!
no I think he is great and brave enough to be playful with music that is a sign of a master and not an upstart. I play piano myself and in my opinion both him and Lang Lang are probably greatest pianists of our time.
I find the people who keep commenting things like What has this guy done to liszt, its a travisty are the ones who are simple minded, We live in modern scociety now not the 19th century...I think Liszt would be very proud of the fact that nearly 200 years on his music is still being played and adapted to a modern audiences...i am a fan of both classical and the modern versions and im also only 18, all my friends hate classical but if i show them maksim they agree its fantastic.
He plays the piano with so much passion! I love him.
No It's bad, he is bad, he destroyed this piece, turned into feces

don't care it's pop music or classical music, it's good music
Absolutely no.
Classical is pure art
Pop is comercially processed art
But his arrangement of Totentanz is ridiculous
I think that this piece, while far removed from the original source, really captures the darkness and deathly captivating ENERGY of the original piece. I love it a lot. It also has a new-wave energy and feel to it that Maksim is known and loved for. All things said and done, I love this arrangement.
he makes piano music easy to listen to for anyone. love how he's not stuck in the classic and he's a medium for classic to enter the new age.
This will always give me goosebumps! It's hard to believe this is a live recording!
It's bad, tje worse thing i've ever heard. Je destroyed this masterpiece with his low habilities :/
I have no words he is so briliant so talanted so astonishing so amazing.... It's wonderfull !!!!!!!
i LOVE to watch he's playing! He's all in music! He feel it , he lives in it!
He's just perfect!!!!!
I can't explain how much I love this guy.
WOW!!!!!!!...Great performance...i like it a lot!!!!!!...great musician
This is awesome!Great!I like this change from the classics in modern dress.
I was at the concert too and it was amazing. Liszt Ballade No.2 and Hall of Mounting King were superb
Hell, this music blows you right out of water, AWESOME!!!!
What can any comment but to mention Joy, Serenity, enervating Sounds and endless relaxation. And Love of coarse
What to say?Just perfect.Maksim is a very talent man.He plays piano very well.I am very impressed!Congratulate him...!
I really love Maksim's energy and passion.
this man is my sole inspiration for getting back into playing the piano
I love him so much!
And i appreciate finding his videos here because in my country is kind of hard to get such wonderful music, even if we are able to pay for it. Actualy, i don´t see people in my country having a good musical taste... It´s a shame!
The beginning of this performance is amazing
the best crossover version I ever heard
супер, браво Maksim Mrvica!!!!!
watever said and done... maksim in a wonderful pianist... such talent should be appreciated and not insulted.... loving this and all his other performances =)
you are so right, he's got me drawn =) I don't know anything about pianos or pianists but i happened upon Maksim through figure skating and I love his versions!

最近よくMaksimさんの曲を聴いてます。
中でもこの曲はすごく惹かれます。
まるでゲームのラスボス戦みたいな壮大さと幽玄な雰囲気がとても好きです😃
An incredibly talented! Virtuoso! Triumphant success! Bravo=Bravissimo!
I agree 100%, he's doing a good thing to classical music and I hope he keeps going!
i can honestly say that maksim is a realy nice person! met him when i saw his concert last monday!
Wow this music is friggin crazy!!!
Why don't more pianists/violinists do crossover music?! Maksim rocks!
To whom that complain he can't play piano, you guys should search for his live performance, like "The Flight Of The Bumble-bee" and "Hungarian Rhapsody".
You will disagree with what u've said.
He is talented, he is a legend.
That was great!!!
Maksim is amazing D:
If Liszt were still alive, he'd be tickled but impressed! This is great music. Thanks for the post!
Very very origional and unique. You have to give him credit for that.
I was looking for some proper Liszt but nevermind, this managed to get my foot tapping.
Interesting stuff
ive been suffering from sore throat but while watching this i seem to forgot about it and enjoyed the music while jaw dropped ITS BEYOND PERFECT!!!
lovit lovit lovit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
just what a public performance needs
surely he must have some joy from what he plays here, by the look on his face and his copious amounts of body 'love' this is true art in it's finest form...

Is it just old people that comment here and disagree with modern music?! This version is the key to introducing classical to the younger generations!
No comments... Just fantastic
Excellent technique, and sensitivity friend Mr vika!
perfect,perfect,perfect........
I'm sick of people saying that Maksim has destroyed a piece of music.
He's taking classical music that youngsters of today would probably not care for and making it appeal to them! This is why Maksim is GREAT!
And i've love to see anyone else play the piano like he does!!
oh , it 's freaking incredible !
handsome, talented, creative, incredible, invulnerable, special. is it fair
Great!!! Maksim is so awesome....
Love him!

MAMA MÍA!! No puede ser más imponente esta interpretación! Felicitaciones Makxim sos el mejor!!
haha...i know he may not be the best pianist in the world, but his interpretations are intriguing enough to get so many young people interested in classical music. drawing the justin timberlake-pop crowd into the classical arena is a great accomplishment, i think.
