Helene Grimaud plays Liszt's Piano Sonata in B Minor

[Rudel23]

She' s beautiful, gifted, a true artist, excellent pianist, no question about this. But she doesn't have the technique, l"aisance", the skills for playing Liszt. Great pianist, but she'll never be a "Lisztian pianist". As well as Cziffra cannot play Mozart, she shouldn't play Liszt. I ADORE her, burt this perfomance is quite normal, almost disappointing. Please remember what we heard in this Sonata by Argerich or Cziffra ( the greatest and unforgettable Lisztian pianist of all time).

@Rudel23 I dunno, I think she could do it if she put her mind to it.

@Rudel23 Very superficial, sorry. I was really surprised that Helene is really so good on this greatest piece of art ever composed. Of course my favorit is Gilels' Moscow life performance. Argerich is sometimes highly compromising power and accuracy a lot for incredible speed.
