      It always seems to tell the story of an entire relationship to me, at first the two melodic notes are mismatched, then they sync up and begin harmonizing, then there's a stormy period, harmony again...It just seems like the cycles in a relationship to me. I don't know why.

    This is exactly how this piece should be played. A humble performance with PERFECT articulation. The shaping of the melodic lines and the voicing is exceptional. After 10 years, I still regard this as one of my favourite performances. Even the flashy F major section and the cadenzas are meaningful… not just for show. This is how Liszt intended for this piece to be played. So much meaning.

    I've listened so many of this piece and still can't find better performance than Hamelin's one. Some people may criticize his tempo but actually one has to understand that he is faithfully performing as the score requires. Also, the remarkable thing is that the tempo doesn't drop even in the hardest part of the score. Such technique showed here is proving Hamelin a true virtuoso
    Being able to meet the tempo, yet performing with sheer clarity. Magnificently expressing arpeggio, yet being aware of exaggeration. Such things make this rendition almost peerless to any others out there. Especially for the cadenza Hamelin is playing strictly as the score asks, and as far as I know this rendition is very few in youtube which shows cadenza in such utmost perfection.
    However, for some people this could be little disappointing because there's less dramatic emotions than Arrau's performance.

    what I love about this interpretation is that it's not "fast", the cross hands part just have almost no gap in between the notes, so it's much more fluid. Usually people will rush the arpeggios, but the melody notes will still sound disconnected, and not voiced properly. This performance is even better than Hamelin's studio recording of the piece.

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can’t understand the “lacking musicality” comments EXCEPT maybe 1. The commenter doesn’t really like some of the post tonal or atonal things he sometimes plays and hasn’t really heard his excellent performances of tonal music like this yet; and/or
      2. The commenter doesn’t like musical jokes and got overly offended by one of Mr. Hamelin’s brilliant parodies; and/or most likely
      3. The commenter has never heard 100+ year old original recordings of piano greats like Josef Hofmann, Leopold Godowsky etc or has trouble listening past the poor fidelity of the acoustic recording to hear the brilliance still locked in the grooves. If they can’t hear it, their loss, but IMO Mr Hamelin has heard it and it has profoundly influenced him. I think he is / can be one of the few living pianist who can really play like one of the late romantic era greats.

    I saw him perform a few months ago in Denmark. I was in the front row, and it struck me how many things worked together rigt there: Marc-Andre Hamelin is just put on this planet to do what he does, he's build physically for playing piano, he has had the proper training from an early age, he has the disciplin, and the musicality, humbleness and curiosity that makes it all work. The room he was playing in, was designed with acoustics in mind (there were no microphones), and he could make a perfect musical menu by picking some of the most beautiful pieces, written by some of the best composers who ever lived. So many parameters was peaking. It was of couse an unforgettable performance, and one of the best concert experiences I've had. So greatfull that we have people like him.

      kubahobo His piano presence reminds me of Rubinstein. No theatrics just fingers, hand and wrist and facial closed eyes on occasion. Controlled and disciplined. Easy to watch. The only thing that counts is the music they’re performing!

    One of my favourite compositions of Liszt... It definitely reminds me of a sigh... With such elegance and beauty attached to it.... One of the best interpretations I have heard in a long time. Although I found some parts slightly rushed, it was an exceptional interpretation. Bravo indeed.

    A good example of exemplary technique put to proper use in interpreting the music. Couldn't do it without the technique; wouldn't want to do it with only the technique. Excellent.

    That damn arpeggio at 2:00 pisses me off! I could never get that down! I could do it with the left, I could do it with the right...could I do it with both? Hell no!!! Then these guys all breeze right through it like nothing..."ahhhh, dum-de-dum, just another day at the piano...". Ain't fair! :) Too bad, what a GREAT piece! Liszt was such a genius!
