Adam Gyorgy Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

[scaredbypianopieces]

Great performance. Finally a classical pianist who looks and sounds like he has some humanity left. LOL!!! And Liszt was one crazy motherfucker!!!

[jordannet]

he looks like christiano ronaldo LOL .. thump up if you accept!!

[gyurchev]

Found 1 mistake between 6:12 and 6:13

Other than that, great performance!

[esunisen]

Do not let your girlfriend near this man. You cannot keep up!



[theblueisyou]

 this man has no charisma

[marionbaseball7]

Sony90210 made 19 accounts and disliked this video because he doesn't like the interpretation of this piece.

[007s0addicted]

how you can dislike this???? you 19 peoples are retarded:|

[Sony90210]

@007s0addicted chill out man.. 19 people don't automatically like every piano piece they here. they probably just personally don't like his interpretation of this piece

[thedarkcanuck147]

If I owned a time machine, my first destination would be back in time to see Liszt play this in person. No hesitations.

[BrotherEG]

Adam Gyorgy just needs an annoying mouse to motivate himself to play better

[Daniboy370]

החרא הזה הרבה יותר טוב מאלגברה לינארית!!

[koehlerhubrig]

Id like to see him try Mary Had a Litlle Lamb

[Sover26412]

This song always reminds me of my older sister. She died a year ago, but this was her favorite song to play on the piano. It took her years to be able to play it flawlessly all the way through. I could lay next to the piano on our house's cold tile and listen to her play all day when we were younger. Hearing this song now, I feel like she's playing for me again. I love you, Amanda.

[sha6ar6oon]

@Sover26412 may she rest in peace

[ImYourIchigo]

this is my dream piece... I hope to play this perfectly before I die...

[Hannah6412]

I hate the way they filmed this, it kinda makes me dizzy. I just like watching people play piano, no need for fancy camerawork.

[andyrockerable]

@Hannah6412 i actually like it cause you get different prepectives of his hands when he plays it rather just having 1 view the whole time. the only problem i found was that the audio was out of sync with the playing he did...

[EmpressEricka]

from 5:12 on... yeah, Adam. id smile too, if i could handle those chords.

[esplanade25]

@PYE172 No offence but unless you are a musical genius with a diploma in piano I would never try that even with sight reading

[marcin24075]

Still listening in 2012. :D

[PYE172]

can any one tell me what key it is in i want to work it out by ear

[streight4lk]

@PYE172

3/10

I lol'd

[boynt0nbeachboy]

@PYE172 c# min although the first chord is major then the friska starts in f# min and i didnt look any further. Good luck!!!!!:)

[TheSneedizzle]

@PYE172 C# Minor, and good luck

[Snowynator]

if you look exactly at his face he sometimes smiles.

i smile alls time i hear it because its just GREAT!!!

has he got a own yt-account??

[LeonZoc]

his hands are too fast, i cant even see them :3

[Tobiscuits]

takes some extreme skills to play that, but to make it up? Franz Liszt is a pretty crazy dude.

[Wahidou13]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw second Franz liszt Here Like so mutch :) ^^

[hazelpianissimo]

17 people doesn't know who is franz liszt

[Sony90210]

@hazelpianissimo ..bugs bunny reference? lol

[madesusena96]

tom play it not as good as u

[ChrisChilled]

Tom & Jerry brought me here.

[jordannet]

@ChrisChilled

me too ... LOL tom and jerry is best cartoon ever :)

[thepoet82]

Suck it, asians! :p

[xyperox]

Somehow he reminds me on Bugs Bunny. No offence, I think its cool :) Thats my favourite cartoon. This was beautiful !

[DNAunion]

Wonderful music, played by an amazing musician. Music and skill: exactly the things missing from most "music" these days.

[FFGlovak553]

all i can think about is who framed rodger rabit?

[OneMoreOpinion1]

Fantastic! Bravo! By far the best performance of this piece I have ever seen/heard a true master of the piano. Would love to see this live would anyone happen to have any information on whether he still performs, where, and when?

[Adammmmob]

just wow

[Lynngirl1030]

This is soooo amazing~! Nice guy played a nice song with a nice piano!!

Wish I can play this song too :D

[EggPlantPocky03]

i loved this piece in that ep of tom and jerry <3

[LazerXX2234]

WoW thts talent wish I could play instruments if I could get a tutor

[omaramore]

Awww bless the audience. Appreciation well deserved. What a skilled, talented artist.

[veganSausage]

6:06.. Toms little finger turns into rubber

[EUDAJEDERNAMEINUSE]

i think this is the best version

[PrivateX6]

Gosh! Is this song was once used in the cartoon?

[ashkibala1]

@PrivateX6 Tom and Jerry

watch?v=d1rJvs46a5g

[MrSebas56]

5:18 he is feeling this :)

[InvaderKinz97]

i would expected to see a mouse sleeping inside the piano

[tacosamurai1]

Gyonyoru szépen jatszot. Buszke vagyok a magyar szarmazasomra emiat.

[TheGerakas]

He looks like phelps!

[annamarialondon]

I can't believe that so many people associate this wonderful music with bloody Tom and Jerry.. its's really annoying!

[imsohornynwet]

ohh.. ahh.. ahhh...ahhhhhhh!

[MsFloopdedoop]

Wow, what a beautfiul sounding piano

[Sslifer01]

From 8:37 to 8:20 if you want him to play like Tom :D

[shenkeey]

@Sslifer01 From 8:37 to 8:20? Wait wut? That's the wrong order sir..

[Sslifer01]

@shenkeey Why is it wrong? In the episode (Tom&Jerry) when Tom end playing Jerry starting it again so Tom have to play too -_-

[shenkeey]

@Sslifer01 How do you mean? It's supposed to be 8:20 - 8:37, not 8:37 - 8:20 =/

[Sslifer01]

@shenkeey 8:37 is end of the part right? While 8:20 i the begining. So when it ends, you can skip it to begining... easy?

[MrTomt1990]

The way he plays the part starting at 4:46 is amazing! managing to keep the tempo on the C sharp key playing it with different fingers. Incredible pianist!

[1979rickfukingjames]

0:58 Always has been my fav part

[Andr1spe]

a men from Hungary is playing a hungarian rapsody which was played by Tom in the Tom n' Jerry...

awesome :D

[matheuspa42]

An absolutely beautiful recording! I love how the camera interacts with the music and the piano here. Congratulations.

[Bboy1dancer]

tom and jerry

[NewtonBlog]

Best i´ve heard

[mariogamersidequest]

tom and jerry

[JoaoMarcosGallego]

AWESOME!!

[TheAknirad]

I love him. Another of the major international piano names. Last night I had a chance and listened to his live performance (Liszt and Chopin). He gave me also his autograph on the CD cover panel. I'm really happy ...

[soufodao]

thumbs up if you come here because woody or Tom and Jerry =D

[musicXpiano]

im gonna be like him one day >:)!!

[annamarialondon]

@musicXpiano in your dreams :-D

[musicXpiano]

@annamarialondon people like u have limits in life.

[synxfirefox]

perfect!

[KonyaK95]

Elképesztő! 

[woolfgangmozrt20]

waaaaaw i heard it once before i saw this.....i didn't know it is that hard to play it....he look like he will go mad any minute.....he is just sooo good at doing what he does

[andyrockspiano]

i watch this at least once a day i just love his playing!

[rcbs2002]

Phenomenal

[hajdatish]

How could he play it? I also would like to play it, but I have only 10 fingers :)

[KingClark0136]

We really need to partner him with Daffy Duck and Donald Duck

[Diffrentjamsith]

4:23 is the place where the good stuff starts! :D

[ForeverAyrtonSenna]

Am I the only one who thinks that he looks like a meerkat?

[anonymouspatron7]

I just realized that he has no sheet music... he memorized the entire thing...

[skuzinsk]

@anonymouspatron7 The memorization of this isn't too bad actually--it's staying loose but strong at that kind of speed. *ouch*

[MsFloopdedoop]

@anonymouspatron7 Memerization really isn't as hard as it seems! When you practice a piece enough times with the music to try and learn/perfect it, you magically just somehow remember it, lol. It's weird

[t3hdoublehelix]

I, literally, just got back from watching him perform and he is absolutely incredible! <3

[jogabola]

Tom and Jerry brought me here:DD

[FuguJikan]

I like he is playing with much passion and very beautifull mostly and good technique, much better than Ott. The best for me are Jung Lin's rendition of this and Horowitz playing his arrangement, both so very beautifull, full of emotion.

[craymiranda]

This is really good, but I feel Alice Sara Ott's interpretation is much more dynamic.

[yuhamkoha]

@6347285 Yayy!! Americans are also the first to drop nuclear bombs, give democracy in exchange of blood and petrol, tear down their own buildings to create excuse for war.....

and stillll have bazzillions of dolars of debt to china and frozen dead homeless people on the streets. You just keep being exceptional in arts and sciences. sorry I had to take the argument to this level but this man asked for it.

btw, I rarely listen to another one's performance when I want to listen to hun. rhap. 2.

[flutefantastic]

I was a music performance major, and I found that the ego, competition, and pressure can be unbelievable. I got tired of trying to be perfect every time I played, and now that I'm done with my degree I play for enjoyment...mistakes and all :). I think it's wonderful that Adam looks like he is enjoying himself, and that he plays with so much expression and accuracy. Maybe the people who criticize him should get a life and start playing for enjoyment instead of for ego??

[6347285]

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES

Americans were not just the first to land a craft on Mars, Richard Kastle was the first recording artist to play Liszt's alternating octaves the way Liszt intended them to be played. The American CD outsold the current Russian and Canadian releases. Chinese Lang Lang plays an easier version. It doesn't count, unless you make an exception to the standards that define exceptionalism.

[jackieli709]

OMG HE'S SO YOUNG!!! BORN 1982...

[JediMotoCrush]

one of the best interpretations existing!

[Dexterminator]

HAHAHA WHEN HE SMILED AT 5:18 HE REMEMBERED ABOUT TOM AND JERRY :)

[nomo100102]

@Dexterminator Oh, yeah!)))) He is thinking about cartoons at the moment.

[mastergx1]

@Dexterminator so did I

[PrivateX6]

@Dexterminator Why you think he remembered about Tom and Jerry=)?

[Dexterminator]

@PrivateX6 because there is an episode of tom and jerry where tom plays this piece on the piano and he wakes jerry who lives in the piano

[SquealingGucciPiggy]

Adam is so INSANELY, INCREDIBLY skilled. I don´t think I heard a single wrong key through this piece.... and that´s impossible!

[Zircemerald]

@SquealingGucciPiggy Well, when you do it for a living, I would expect it to be perfect!

[SquealingGucciPiggy]

@Zircemerald You try play piano for a living and we'll compare you to Adam :)

[GuiTaRHeRo37170]

4:45 C# rape D:

[truefantus]

Beautiful interpretation! From the clip it seems that you had just as much fun playing the piece as it was fun to watch. You really enjoy your art. Bravo!

[esadaly]

Has he got 6 hands??

[TripleRhu]

@esadaly No.

[esadaly]

@TripleRhu ......

[Hyuandae]

@esadaly if he has six hands that means he had 30 fingers

[marchingmichael]

This guy kicks ass!!!

[6347285]

The best recording of this piece is by the American composer, Richard Kastle. It is also one of the biggest selling classical piano albums of all time. His CD made Billbooard, the industry standard on who sells recordings. Lang and Kissin are also on Billboard, but the average pianist doesn't sell enough CD's.

[abasszeros]

Az egyik legszebb magyar zongora darab amit kevesen képesek ilyen som érzéssel és ritmussal előadni, már sok külföldi zongoristátá láttam ezt a darabot játszani de ahhoz hogy igazán szépen tudja valaki ezt a darabot előadni annak magyarként kell megszülettnie! Bravo!!! Gyönyörű volt :D

[branden1ish]

that dude is awesome :S ... i could barely follow his hands , it's 1 of the best performances i've ever seen !

i wonder who are those 15 jerks who disliked it ! srsly , shame on each of those 15 people !

[idkidc1233]

@idkidc1233 as well as awesome talent

[idkidc1233]

simply beautiful i love this song

[44STYLE187]

das piano hat so nen dumpfen klang :S sonst aber echt sau gut

[elhaselkim11]

he's having fun.... :)

that's what i really love to see to a pianist..

especially in playing masterpieces like this..

[elhaselkim11]

he's having fun.... :)

that's what i really love to see to a pianist..

especially in playing masterpieces like this..

[18Cw111101]

Damn I don't even think I'll ever be that good....:[

[loneydolly]

all i gotta say is....Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? :)

[wamadeus]

i dare you not to sweat like a pig when you are preforming this mounstrosity, the ultimate test for musical stamina. awesome!!!

[Omegalucario98]

@wamadeus Monstocity

[6347285]

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM in the arts and sciences. Americans were not just the first to land a craft on Mars, Richard Kastle was the first recording artist to play Liszt's alternating octaves at the end the way Liszt intended them to be played. His CD outsold the current Russian and Canadian pianists, and he plays Liszt with style and extravagance. Chinese Lang Lang plays an easier version. I take exception to a pianist who plays an easier version being referred to as exceptional.

[IMEMYSELFHI435]

Like if you can visualize the Tom & Jerry episode right in your head!

[guismiti]

check his performance of the flight of the bumble bee, it is excellent aswell

[fakii]

the best..... that was so perfect.....

[musicXpiano]

he makes it look so easy!!!

[Lirqui]

Фантастическое исполнение!Только знающий технику в совершенстве может ТАК исполнять его произведения!

[aimirscatologic]

this fuckin piece...

[ZacharyHere]

I like how the camera tries not to show the mouse hiding in the piano...

[lavamaster530]

Most common thing I ever seen in every comment about pianos: [name of pianist] has way too many flaws. Derps learn to know what it means to do an interpretation of a piece. If you want someone flawless just invent a robot already.

[PrivateX6]

Awesome playing..

He must practicice more than  10,000 times..

[6347285]

This is not flawless. He's sloppy. He's leaving out many of the high C#'s starting at 5:46. He does the same thing - 6:34. Missed the second high chord - 6:12. Missed many melody notes starting at 7:10, before missing some chromatic chords at 7:20. There's no cadenza before the alternating octaves - missed E# octave and loses control at the end.

The only guy who can play this flawlessly is the AMERICAN, Richard Kastle.

And he tosses off the hardest technique with extravagance.

[BlackMasterJoe89]

@6347285

Long time since I've seen a Richard Kastle troll lol.

[6347285]

@BlackMasterJoe89 You have a lot of nerve. American Richard Kastle is the most successfuf pianist to record this piece. Look it up. The Russian and Canadian releases were bombs. The Chinese released a simplified version. It doesn't count. This Hungarian pianist is not even a recording artist. You must be retarded to think that Europeans and Chinese can perform this better then an American.

[BlackMasterJoe89]

@6347285

I don't get why you have to make such a fuss and be so negative about another pianist performance american or not.

Second don't use that word, retarded, its bad and plus I wasn't even remotely thinking if americans are better than chinese or if chinese are better than russians....

You don't even sound american yourself lol.

[kamikaze223]

@6347285 tell me why then, are there no videos that exist of him playing this "perfect" version of hungarian rhapsody? You really think that an audio file is impressive in your defense? I can record myself "playing hungarian rhapsody no.2" and make it sound like i'm amazing too.

[6347285]

@kamikaze223 He had a hit record called Streetwise. It's flawless. He played it on national television. Look up the press coverage and the credits on TV.com. You will need to release a hit record and perform for mllions of fans on TV to sound as amazing as Kastle. Lang had the success, but he was playing a simplified version. That doesn't count either, except as a grand illusion.

[kamikaze223]

@6347285 the fact that this coverage isn't accessible on youtube, the most popular video uploading website in the world (viewable by billions) leads me and others to believe that this Kastle is the one creating grand illusions and keeping secrets.

[6347285]

@kamikaze223 Try to find the TV appearances on Jay Leno with Lang Lang or Richard Kastle. You can't find either one on YouTube. TV.com has the credits and a way to see the appearances, for a fee. 

[Raqubor]

@6347285 György is not perfect, he is human. He did make mistakes, but that is part of a LIVE performance.

Since I know you are trolling there is no point in writing this down, because you will reply with some silly excuse again where you'll just keep polishing your fat man countrymen ego.

I went and listened to his version btw., which is 3:58 long. And isn't half as complex as what György is playing. This is 9:44!!! Damn you just go away.

[Raqubor]

@6347285 Dude seriously, you are doing a wonderful job of trolling here. Richard kastle, whoever he is (never heard of him *puts on imaginary glasses*) has recorded this piece in the peace and quite of a studio, where he could take breakes between takes, could re-play any part he wanted, was not performing for an audience in SPOTLIGHT, where you are under a LOT of pressure, cameraman standing beside you, everyone you know waching, your future at stake... how can you even compare the two???

[WBored808]

@Raqubor i agree, it's rare to see successful trolls like this

[alphaandliarize]

Flawless.

[692andrew]

if he has the capacity to remember all these notes he can compose one of his own :)

[IMEMYSELFHI435]

i think he played this faster than tom and jerry.... did he?

[TheStevenOoi]

why is jerry not in the piano?

[DimitarRM]

It's Cziffra and Jung Lin on this, their versions are perfect Liszt.

[mellymariefl]

Oh PLease!! Enough of the Tom and Jerry references, its so embarassing people, come on!! That was the extent of your classical education, huh? SAAAAD!!!

[ag15ui11na19ldo80]

I would consider to sell my soul to the devil to be able to play like this....Now I wouldn't actually do it, but I'd consider it =)

[xionidas]

Really nice.

Just one question:

Why the hell r they showing his face all the time??

Often even on 2 pictures at the same time!! wtf?

I am interested in how he play it. Not what faces he makes...

Well played again anyway.

[zzzide]

@xionidas

Can you repeat that after checking his smile at 5:18? If yes, I'm sorry but you do not feel and understand the emotional beauty of music.

[maurocuervito]

tom y jerry cat concerto jajaj :D

[starkj92]

I could care less about his face. I want to see the hands! Why is is that whenever videos are made of performances or recitals of any kind, they spend half of the time focusing on the musician's face? I'm more interested in seeing how they play rather than a smile or something.

[huarba87]

@starkj92, music is not just in the hands, the hands are controlled by our mind and reflect also in our emotions and expressions. To just see his hands in this clip would make it just boring and you might as well watch a computer or machine play this piece. I think the facial expressions in this clip make it much more enjoyable to view.

[amxmachine]

@huarba87 thank you
