nyiregyhazi live - plays schubert-liszt wanderer pt 3 of 3

[uhartchristian]

le theme vers la 3 eme minute de l enregistrement ici montre une creation dans l interpretation les pianists comme Brendel etc ne savent pas faire. Pour cela leur interpretation reste ininteressant. Ici la technique n est pas la , il manque le travail mais l esprit est grandios....

sans la lourdeur pour cacher les defauts des abilitès des doigts ce serait encore mieux....

[TYRER58]

This genius really talks and sings on the piano. There is no blandness or inorganicness in his playing and it is not sentimental nor self indulgent either but nonetheless highly individual. I somehow feel that Schubert would have not been ashamed of this interpretation. A shame the world treated this artist so shamefully

[bolawarrior]

Just...... it sounds like hes just in his study..... playing pieces.... improv.... might be the piece i don't know/care but to compare this to something like moonlight sonata 3rd movement..... just in my ears thats just way better.

[checkmatesolidier]

bolawarrior - well, he was in an admirer's private home, so it was not a concert hall or recording studio. i think the performance transcends the limitations of venue.

[klavierspieler72]

I must say that as bizarre as he can be, contrary to the modern day urtext mentality, and sheer contrariness, Nyiregyhazi is so thoroughly individual, preternaturally powerful, poignant, moving, and engrossing. Always. This is unique, never to be repeated, and this is a compliment, unlike someone who might find a snide remark buried in that last statement. I wish we had the whole Beethoven Hammerklavier with Nyiregyhazi, among other things. Fantastic!

[checkmatesolidier]

klavierspieler72 - i think arnold schoenberg captured the nyiregyhazi magic and paradox beautifully in his famous letter. he write that n.'s music-making surprisingly regains its own form, finds itself again. he's right - there is an internal coherence to his playing. it's completely opposite to the norm, but it is there.

[lipsbach]

Remove the extra-musical Nyiregyhazi mystique, and I'll wager that any sober listener would rate this as really terrible banging on a piano. Which is not to say that he wasn't a great pianist as a younger person. But he was surely a more-damaged-than -average adult.

[kasyapa]

you'd lose that wager. :)

[lipsbach]

Interesting. Would you mind listing 3 known people in the piano playing world who consider this an example of exemplary pianism?

[kasyapa]

interesting, that that has nothing to do with your claim. logically fallacies don't impress. run along.

[lipsbach]

And what might your first language be? It certainly is not English.

[kasyapa]

you've no idea how wrong you are - about this, too.

[cwman8]

Besides expert´s expertise - it sounds eery and fascinating at the same time how he breaks with banging for those moments from 2:08 to 4:42 to end them with even more banging as if he felt angry that he allowed him to show this other side. Be it naive from expert´s view - I can enjoy this short part more than the same even from Richter. Strange.

[checkmatesolidier]

cwman8 - he permitted himself everything. :)

[robshelrobshel]

An interesting TRANSCRIPTION of Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy. I think one cannot compare this pianist to the others. His early recordings give an impression of a genius, this one on the other hand, unfortunately, leaves another impression.

[kasyapa]

disagreed, but he is definitely - and always -controversial.

[rarescores]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yesteg]

Mr. N's playing is simply phenomenal.Great, great, great.

[yesteg]

Mr. N's playing either elicits vey high marks or very low ones. There never seems to be a middle ground with respect to his appreciation.

[Hexameron]

I'll take a middle ground and say his interpretations are fascinating and compelling, but I don't rate them great, especially not here. His heavy-handed violent attacks and booming bass work fine for original Liszt, but are detrimental and alien to this Schubert fantasy.

Then again, I suppose that's the intriguing aspect of Nyiregyhazi's art. He could probably transpose a Scarlatti sonata two octaves lower and play fff throughout and make it work.

[lokopiano]

Despite the low recording quality, this verion is just BAD. Too many coments to make on it.

The principal: Bad reading of the score.

lokopiano.
