Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.9 Pester Karneval

[VladislavGomulka]

It's a stop and go performance.

[grigorii220483]

@Vl Привет Влад! Мы тут с твоим товарищем сталинбенгурионом обсуждали тему 1917 года, и роли в ней евреев. Но он, к моему удивлению (всегда и с охотой вступающий в спор со всеми "нациками") проигнорировал мои доводы (часть из них находится на моём канале) - уйдя как ты в несознанку. Мало того, так ещё и заблокировал меня у себя. Ты понимаешь, что это косвенно подтверждает мою правоту, мысли и домыслы? У тебя нет желания попробовать меня переубедить? в спорах рождается истина, говорили древние.

[grigorii220483]

@VladislavGomulka татары за свои преступления ответили. от того то вы так и боитесь, потому что знаете - русские могут 300 лет под вражеским игом седеть, но в конечном итоге переломают хребет своим врагам. вы ещё ответите и за голодомор, и за растрелы, и за гулаг.

я рад, стасик, что вывел тебя из себя, обнаружив таким образом твою гнилую натуру. "ты сердишься - значит ты не прав" а потому я только утвердился в своих взглядах. спасибо тебе за это)))

[IaxobusJames]

@VladislavGomulka one of the best (if not the best) interpretations on youtube indeed

[massimiliano123123]

This is the most beautiful and maybe the most difficult hungarian rhapsody!

[engr100win10]

Beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing this performance!

[dussekfan]

:D brilliant!

[f1f1s]

Probably the hardest rhapsody, in my opinion, together with the 2nd. The 6th is a way easier.

08:09 - 09:00 - smells like remainings of Alkan's Symphony Finale (op. 39 No. 7) and Marche Triomphale (op. 26b). ;D Yeees, Liszt and Alkan were tight contemporaries...

09:56 - 10:35 - I envy you...

[maretranquilty]

Das Piano ist etwas schräg gestimmt ;-))

[Werth1939]

Very good!

[Troybeallad]

Good performance, thank you.

The player is better than the piano?

[jimenezjae]

wow!!! this was amazing! i applaud you! more more more!

[elapodictico]

exelente, wonderful, brilliant,

[Humbleboy89]

THIS IS REALLY AWESOME

[kasyapa]

bra-vo!

[lottoformulier]

pro!!

[roykwokkp]

Good work!!! :)

[alexkonow]

great job! professional quality :]

[Iolamusica]

OH MY GOODNESS. The longer I watched this the faster the hands moved until it seriously looked like someone fast forwarded the film. Instead of running out of steam it just got faster and faster. How the hell does someone have the endurance to play this?! WOW.

[ibclappin]

please tell me you're performing concerts now! unless you're studying physics or something.

[leif573]

nice.. may i ask how long you practiced this piece before being able to play and record this.. and how long you've played piano? thanks

[jkx2000]

Wow. At first I was hesitant to watch this video because it was not done during a concert and I thought that the pianist is an amateur. But since this is my favorite Liszt Hungarian rhapsody and I could not find anymore video in Youtube I decided to watch and I was awestruck. Of course, he has some mistakes and maybe the piano geniuses will notice some technical inadequacy, but then this is a difficult piece. Nice work pro.

[afertyus1000]

yes excellent its a shame the piano is out of tune

[bzzzzbzzzzbzzzz]

Out of tune.... not much. If you notice that one, you'd need a defillibrator. When playing the 4th and 5th Cs, they sound like C-B.

Great performance by the way. Keep it up!!

[bzzzzbzzzzbzzzz]

Hi again sorry, my last comment didn't make any sense.

Just ignore that one ;D

Great performance! Try some of the other hungarian rhapsodies too! Would love to hear you play them ;D

[ugrulf37]

I think it is worth comparing it with performance of Lazar Berman.

[atralfalgar]

Amazing performance of this rather difficult piece. Good job!

[flugelmaniac]

very good

[LandoKashmir]

Excellent!! I'd love to hear you play this on a grand.

[virtuoso18]

very nice performance i found it quite entertaining you should bring out the left hand more in the first part thats about all i could critique

[darrenvile]

Amazing performance of this rather difficult piece. Good job!

[oldnickquick]

difficult piece...great work.

[clarinet31]

you are great!!!! im looking for this coz our symphonic band must play this theme hungarian no.6 arrange for band... good job

[driemaaldrommels]

you've got serieus talent! be carefull with it ;) my compliments!

[ccen1]

hey that was some very nice technique u had there

[heroicpolonaise]

woo

very good

[felix0911176727]

Bravo!!

[ibclappin]

what the hell is this guy doing playing this on a half-assed piano and posting it youtube?!

do whatever you want to do sir but, here's a performance everybody needs to hear so if you actually want to play this one piece ONLY you still should perform at a concert.

[qamar07]

Man, you deserve a concert grand.

[ibclappin]

and what is up with the sleeves?! who is that, Queen Elizabeth?

[maestroanth]

No offense, you out grew this piano....get a good grand. Please...you have great technique on a sucky intrument.

[maestroanth]

His technique is ridiculously good....

[ibclappin]

i agree, this piece should be played this fast. i bet Liszt played some parts even faster, if that's humanly possible.

[maestroanth]

nah faster doesn't always equal as colorful....that's all liszt would have done.

[ibclappin]

thinking about it thoroughly i would say that Liszt maybe played certain parts more defined and powerful so necessarily just a little slower, but the actual parts that were his personal compositions, which were basically used to connect the different pieces of the rhapsody together, were probably played faster. don't forget that Liszt is considered a better pianist than a composer which actually causes the misunderstanding of considering him rather insignificant.

[maestroanth]

I think this interpretation would make Liszt proud to what he was imagining.

You can hear the little kids playing around with balloons.....

[maestroanth]

Plus listen to Ligeti, these composers are obviously after EVOCATION rather than compositional/performance mastery. Artists seem dumb in the musical world these days.

[maestroanth]

Beautiful interpretation.  I play this piece according to the Lassan Friska principal, but yet its a CARNIVAL@! This intepretation is great with the sped up 1st part.

[maestroanth]

Plus stupid people will have no idea how great his technique is even on a stupid piano.

[ibclappin]

on most important parts though he uses the power needed, altogether it's great. and what a piece this is... Liszt gathered some valuable music and put it together ingenioususly. i have to have all Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies on CD, would anyone please suggest a pianist?

[ibclappin]

he needs way more power on his left hand and more pedal. overall it's a good performance but the music could sound a lot better.

[klash33]

People should stop commenting ....this is no lullaby....I am practicing this piece...be sure its no joke....Liszt has created complexities....

[voolare]

A very fine performance! I allow my self a few personal critiques: 1)I would work more on the pp's (but perhaps it's the recording that flattens the dynamics) 2)On that piano I would use more pedal; your pedalling is correct for a grand piano. Excellent job! Post more!

[Iaxobus]

well played, fair Sebastian!

[zangdaarr]

You're too fast at some moments were you should breathe. Otherwise it's was good

[NeoComposer]

Really nice!!!!

[ccen1]

yes madmarre i totally agree with u. it wasnt the pest performans or anything but it can be inproved.

[madmarre]

stop critisizing if you're not able of playing this better!!! of course everybody can improve and pianist need good advises and not (oh it's horrible)

[Iaxobus]

Critisizing is not an insult. Critiques are helpful suggestions for this fine pianist to improve and do what he's already doing even better.

[aaabbbccc5]

WOW!!!

[JoenEik]

I think you play great. Keep up the good work here!! Valarking....hmm! :(

[Pucicchio]

OMG this piece is beautiful but in your hands sounds the most horrible thing I've ever heard!!!

[maci25]

The original title is: Carnival in Pest (in hungarian: Karnevál PesteN)

But nice play:)

[PianoManSteve]

Awesome job dude. I really like the way you play this. Not rushed, in control, enjoying it. And it's obvious valarking is just jealous.

[shelovedmenot]

aww man awesome.. nice touch n i was mesmerized by the distinct feelings youve put in it. almost comparable if not equeal to cziffra's!

[awatkins69]

Also, this looks insanely difficult to me. Good job.

[valarking]

oh god you play this horribly hahaha

[awatkins69]

Why?

[valarking]

it's pretty obvious to anyone with a post-kindergarten level piano training

[DeTinux]

nice reductio ad absurdum. I'm after the kindergarten level. probably the sound sucks and the piano, but he's in control with great technique and very musical

[valarking]

i really don't care what you think, everyone has an opinion, and if you want to wallow in musical mediocrity that's fine by me

[valarking]

oh and nice attempt at using big words. reductio ad absurdum ahahahahahahaha.  learn what it means first though.

[DeTinux]

and why would we care what you think then? and a reductio ad absurdum is just a fallacy you just have been using... insisting that anyone who thinks this is not what you think is not after kindgarten level you gobshite

[valarking]

reductio ad absurdum is a legitimate logical device and no, i didn't use it. it doesn't mean "absurd logic" like you think it does hahahahaha.

[DeTinux]

I didn't say it does. I wrote books on both argumentation and logic

[valarking]

lmao ok

[DeTinux]

and it's an ad hominem too

[Iaxobus]

oh im sure alotta people like you valarprincess

[pianogirl714]

ooh i love the part that starts at 7:00!!

[sagara89]

I'm playing HR no.11, but I'd much rather play this. D:

[Pianist333]

My favourite Hungarian Rhapsody too!

[strukurukus]

My favorite of Liszt's Rhapsodies

[afertyus1000]

brilliant,v difficult,i have tried this piece

[gergelykiss]

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! thank you for an amazing performance! :) please upload more of your playing!
