Nikolai Demidenko, Liszt: Ballade No 1 in D flat major

[NOSEhow2LIV]

Ghastly! Fart ooze low, really dragging and clumsy, especially towards the end. The recorded sound doesn't help him here, and this seems rather a HemiSemiDemidenko, as he's usually a bit better than this. The piece certainly deserves better.

Always interesting to hear Liszt's less-played works.

Not the best interpretation. He takes too many liberties in the Tempo di Marcia section. You should hear my neighbor's kid play the first ballade. Puts this to shame.
