[mastermusic99]

beethoven is still alive!!!!

[freeqwerqwer]

Katsaris plays well in the slower passages but in the faster ones, his tempo is faulty and his tone is uncontrolled, as if in a craze mood. Beethoven's mighty works are still classical architecture not a helter skelter inferno. Thus it should be played always with aplomb, grace, and attention to correct ryhthm.

[509734]

@freeqwerqwer I know eh, it feels like he's in too much of a hurry. Guess his hands weren't as big as Liszt's

[DrMcGoohan]

This and the 4th movement of the Beethoven Fifth Symphony are the most amazing solo piano pieces ever created. Hardly anyone can play many of the chords in one stretch. What was Liszt thinking? Or...were his hands bigger than normal? Well, they exhumed his body a while back and measured his hands and they WERE hugely bigger than normal.

[thepoet82]

Beethoven would be proud!

[iPlayPiiano]

@thepoet82 He was. I'm not sure wether Beethoven ever heard this particular piece, but I'm told Beethoven knew of Liszt in the last couple of years of his life, and that he was in fact very fond of Liszt playing.

[thepoet82]

@iPlayPiiano

I have heard some stories about that as well, but by the time Liszt was 3 years old, Beethoven was almost completely deaf. So unfortunately, he would not have been able to hear Liszt play properly. Beethoven died when Liszt was about 16.

[BINGFRYSRDUN]

FREUDE SCHONER GOTTERFUNKEN TOCHTER AUS ELYSIUM! WIR BETRETEN FEURTRUNKEN HIMMLISCHE DEIN HEILEGTUM! Such beauty.

[quizmast]

That left hand part O_o

[TomatoPro]

I believe Katsaris rather enjoys octaves.

[LordN3mrod]

1:33 - 2:42 are one of the most breathtaking musical moments ever!

[signinname41]

@LordN3mrod yeah that part from the actual symphony is the best sounding thing i've ever heard.

[EpsilonEnsis]

@samyooljackson

Could you send me the music? I already sent you my email address, so you should have it somewhere.

also, do you just have the 4th movement or the entire 9th symphony?

[Laudan08]

2:56 EPIC!

[teresa2610]

madre mia como toca este hombre es impresionante, juntar todos los intrumentos de la orquesta en un piano, hacen que la partitura sea dificilisima, y el pianista es muy bieno fecilidades

[ChopinLiszt82]

@cheon96 i like this part because of it's melody and emotion sounds very relaxed

[albertcombrink]

I adore this man's playing! You should hear him in the piano version of Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde"

[outerpol]

This is what Liszt does when he's bored...

[ChopinLiszt82]

Liszt is my hero! This is absolutely fanatasico!

[Serpentman30]

hey, check your inbox samyooljackson. I've sent my email address to you.

Send me the music!

[alibeshjr]

It requires both a lot of courage and a lot of talent to re-write such complex and rich orchestral works for 2-hand piano. Liszt (and probably no one else) had both privileges. No wonder Glenn Gould once called these transcriptions SUPER SONATAS. Listen to the two genius composers talking to you in the same piece... and enjoy!

[bachkwt]

I have the sheet

who ever wants it send me a message

[maggytec]

when you hear this transciption you instantly know that liszt understood beethoven to an extend which is way beyond the grasp of most normal humans!

[robbbmm]

So, so good. Really well done.

[Greniel11]

I there a PDF of this? My e-mail is: grenielmendoza@ymail.com. Please respond quickly! :)

[davidovich00]

oooh, this was in clockwork orange... I can almost hear the moans of Alex DeLarge.

[Reactiv12]

Oh man, I didn't know a piano version of Beethoven's 9th even existed.

[lovesGenet]

this is 2 pianos . FABULOUS CATSARIS WAS ALWAYS REALLY FABULOUS PIANIST

[PennilessProfits]

Could you please send me the sheet music for this?

[PennilessProfits]

Please could you send me the sheet music for the entire 4th movement

[gerardbedecarter]

Excellent.

[akumanation]

finaly after 150 years they alow this peice to be played

[stefomate]

OMG the double fugue at 1.34 sounds just as awesome on the piano.

brilliant transcription cnt stop listining to it

[fastfingers110]

sounds like three hands!

[TheCinemaization]

Utterly brilliant playing.

[themaster1154]

Das ist die perfekte Symbiose zwischen Beethovens unbeschreiblich genialen Sinfonien und anspruchsvoller Klaviermusik. Danke fürs Uploaden!

[LilComposerBoy]

[samyooljackson]

throw me your email in a message :) i'd be happy too

[TheCinemaization]

Can you send me the sheet music please?

[podx990]

Wow. Very fast LH octaves. Actually, this is one of my favorite parts and I wish he'd played it slower, but I shouldn't complain. This is a very good performance and it's great that he recorded it at all. There don't seem to be very many recordings of this piano transcription. 5 stars and thanks for posting!

[phoolisness]

why does this have so few views??

[fastfingers110]

tempo!

[bboymango]

HOOOOOOOLYY CRAP

those left octaves are REDICULOUS

ahah you could tell liszt transcribed this haha

[543693The]

ah la fougue de Liszt...dommage pour l'émotion aussi grandiose de Beethoven. Il y a de belle phrases musicales chargées d'adrénaline, mais je préfère les siennes propres . Merci car je ne connaissais pas !

[jhon87ad]

can somebody tell me how to get the sheet on pdf.?

[samyooljackson]

i can send you the pdf toss me your email in a message :)

[choen96]

This is my all time fav part/peice it makes my heart beat faster not cause of the speeed or adreniline its because how the peice is played and how it sounds and the emotion its just unbelievable

[IronHorse4642]

@choen96 I have to agree, Beethoven is a genius and no other piece has moved me as much as the 9th symphony.

[crapman999]

i Love this piece!!

[cellestialX]

Toe-tapping time. This is fun!

[BenMcCormack91]

I thoroughly recommend that anyone interested at all by these transcriptions should get the recording made by Konstantin Scherbakov. The complete symphonies are downloadable in one album from iTunes, but it looks as though they took the individual symphony recordings off, so you'd have to order those from Naxos.

[hellomate639]

I like 3:03 because its what you get when you inject Beethoven with crack when he's playing.

[terryregnar]

Liszt stated he could NOT transcribe this symphony for the piano and be perfectly faithful (full orchestra + choir)to the original score. BUT HE DID IT! shortened it a bit

[funnysunproductions]

he did it, but like he also said it is not as good as the symphony itself. sad. but he probably did the best anyone could

[Rlaw2222]

omg those LH octaves.............

[jefftam1234]

those LH octaves are not humanly possible...

Katsaris is not from this planet.....

[vadimrusmov85]

Actually I suspect him of having recorded several voices separetely, and eventually having put them together in the outcome, just as Gould sometimes did as well, or Fazil Say. This does not mean the result is not satisfactory, on the contrary!

[Niops]

I can do them about 60% that fast, still utterly incredible.

[snevetsznarf1978]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS ON YOUTUBE!!!! I HAVE BEEN DYING TO HEAR SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE MIDI ...sorry I'm yelling, IM so excited to hear this transcription!!! Franz, my friend, you have outdone yourself!!! Amazingly passionate, incredibly sentimental and heroic tones....(sigh)

[samyooljackson]

hahaha thanks ya its incredible Liszt i think is one of the greatest composers and the single greatest transcriber ever...i'm glad you liked it :)

[snevetsznarf1978]

I hope you know I come and listen to this quite often, so most of this views are from me :)  You have no idea how thankful I am...haha, but you probably actually do, have a wonderful musical day :)

[samyooljackson]

haha thanks, ya i listen to the transcriptions almost everyday, cuz they are just soo profound it amazes me...you have a wonderful music day as well

[BoggiDTerminator]

Me too. I love the third movement most of all. :)

[terryregnar]

I suggest hearing Leslie HOward's recording also, some parts clearer, some parts less. But both amazing, just to play the nots is out of this worlds

[snevetsznarf1978]

Thank you, I'm going to look that up :)

[Victor1Piano]

Wonderful! Liszt eh foda!

[h4x3dby1337]

It's the combination of Beethoven's musical genius in this powerful work with Liszt's technical ambition. Brilliant!

[AlainLeboeuf]

vraiment bien , somptueux !vous avez un excellent sens du dosage , et du poids  des notes . Compliments .

AL.

[earthatic]

[friederichsheim]

liszt ............... beethoven
