I have never met with the fact that at such a young age it is possible to perform this piece at a level worthy the old masters like Gilels or Berman ... This is the best interpretation in every way ... Especially touches me and moves from 2:30 to 3:35 ... So much passion and feeling almost brings me to tears ... You are virtuoso Nikolay! .... Chapeau bas!
I can't imagine putting on a performance like that and not receiving and applause at the end. Competing at that level must be so incredibly nerve racking and stressful. kudos to an amazing performance of this beast
I'm studying this piece now and from all versions that I've heard on youtube, this is my favourite. this is the version that I would want to interpret of this piece
@Fazioli91 i too have studied this but i prefer kissins version on youtube it has an extra pearly touch although this is excellent but piano,acoustics have a lot to do with it
Ever since having heard Diana Kacso's rendition of this piece, I just can't listen to any other pianist - no matter how brilliant. That chord he plays at 4:39, Kacso would've hammered with such profound passion... She's a lot more rubato where it suits the piece, much thicker. 12:56 was much less deliberate and much more pronounced, extravagant.
Ravel should be ashamed that it took a Hungarian Composer to create a Spanish Rhapsody that so encompasses the passion and spirit of the Spain and it's culture. Sorry Ravel, but your "Rhapsody Espagnol" is no match for the Liszt composition. Listen to this great rendition and weep, my dear Ravel....
@cicciontek certo; ho apprezzato il tuo modo educato di rispondere, su youtube le buone maniere troppo spesso non vanno per così dire di moda. Vorrei però sapere a quali rapsodie ti riferisci? Prendiamo ad esempio la celeberrima Rapsodia Ungherese n. 2; ti fa venir voglia di dormire anche quella?
@cicciontek le più divertenti sono la 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 ,13 ,15, 19 sentitele fatte da horowitz cziffra fiorentino, non puoi non dire che sono all'apice dell'eccitazione musicale
His performance at the first stage of the competition made jury motionless long after he terminated his performance. You're prophecy may come true. If he won't win who will then?
Pretty powerful. Your arpeggios are BEAUTIFUL! wOw!

Bravissimo.

Mettiamola così: io (non sono un esperto) ho comprato le rapsodie ungheresi di Liszt proprio perché conoscevo la 2, la più popolare.
Ho ascoltato quel cd solo poche volte, e se non sbaglio ho ascoltato solo la 2 e la 6, le altre non riuscivo.
Sarà stato il pianista... comunque volevo anche fare un complimento al pianista di questo video che non fa dormire. Dipende da tante cose...
