KATSARIS Mozart symphonie 40 (hummel trans)

[DaRuckus]

That cough at 1:32 ruined everything!

[hausofgagaism]

11 people don't know what good music is

[omenlightenment]

He rushes through this. This is beautuful piece of music that people play often but few people actually understand it.

[M3L6F4]

Magnifique.

[fredericfranc]

...I don't think Hummel did such a good job arranging this...you are supposed to be able to her the various voices and layers...and this is all muddied up...he thought he was composing one of his sonatas...

[snowboardbodyboard]

<3

[Will84ABA]

where i can buy the sheets?

[gohanisbuckethead]

only setback is that we cant see his left hand

[Silouire]

Tres bien Geniale meme!!! Congrulation It's very go...it's beautiful

[BoggiDTerminator]

The piano is truly a beautiful instrument. And Hummel's transcription has a touching and wonderful sound to it.

[Interpolagentin]

that's perfect !

[88Woland]

Really good!

[BusterHFF]

[mikeusat]

[Beethoventhe2nd]

Absolute beauty... He performed exactly as Mozart had written it to paper... Bravo!

[Manjaka67]

Quel doigté impressionnant !!

[m0une]

[latatounette]

Toujours aussi magnifique...

[nomad601]

[Clodulf]

Toujours si magistrale et belle.

[leopianotuner]

Mozart's 40th symphony is the most overplayed, hackneyed piece in the classical literature but under Katsaris, it actually sounds fresh and authentic Mozart. My Bravo to this poetic gifted pianist and thanks to the person who posted this U-tube video, I wouldn't have known about this pianist at all.

[maisoncarree]

how i agree with you. my favourite mozart are38, 41 and 30. (being a fan of Sturm und Drang, 25 is not bad either, depsite its overly repetitive pattern.) the pianist's cool, man! he plays magically well.

[tuyentube]

One of great pianist of all time ,

Virtuso

[garrickohlsson]

He sure has a rather voluminous hairdo, sort of reminds of the wigs they used to wear centuries ago in Europe. Gives him a dignified if also somewhat comical retro look. Katsaris is great technically and musically but has a leaning toward festive sounding music.

[lordlactose]

its all in the hair

[nighthellfire123]

lol...u can find some sheets and metronomes there..

[lovesGenet]

This man has the ability to get at emotion unlike a million other virtuosi. I wasn't aware what an ineffable technique hehad nor hispoetic bent till recently rediscovering him at youtube. He has it all.Up there with Horowitz ,Bolet. hehas a jazz sensibility and rythmic acuity rarein classical world. his wrists are amazing and so is his tonal variety. No other pianist could make this music( Hummel transcriptions) sound right as he does.

[ronyukochan]

いつもながら素晴らしい演奏を堪能しました。

交響曲シリーズはお得意ですね。

[sanctusignis]

Anyone who'd like the sheet music, hit me up.

[Tacitus87]

[sanctusignis]

All I need is an email address.

[guillaumegp]

Could you give me the sheet music?

Thank you very much

[trailrun21]

Yes how can I get it from you?

[sanctusignis]

Send me a message with your e-mail address.

[ejderha]

hey can you please send me the sheet of Mozart symphonie 40?

ufuk _ sonsuza@hotmail . com

[JaapHH]

great peformance! i could never imagine a transcription of a symphony to soud exactly like a full orchestra, but mr. katsaris just showed me it is in fact possible; thanks for posting it:)

[Laurentpiano9]

Listen to the Liszt's transcriptions of Beethoven symphonies ;) quite good, too

[jfzm1979]

Great Video!

Don`t you happen to have the other three movements? Or any video of the transcription of the Jupiter Symphony or the piano solo transcriptions of Mozart's piano concertos that J.N. Hummel also did?

[schlaget]

BRAVO!

[NIKEROS1313]

excelant!!!BRAVO Mr Katsaris

[NIKEROS1313]

Excelant!!!!BRAVO Mr Katsaris

[theoflikken]

Thanks for posting it! Johann Nepomuk Hummel, who arranged this symphony actually lived for 2 years with the Mozart family!

Greetings from Rolf, Netherlands...

[foozlefoozle]

sounds like typing on a typewriter; he butchered Mozart's 49th! he just didn't get it!

[Vilchynska]

maybe you didnt get it? i can see him puting feelings in it... and by the way, we cant say how is right to play - Mozart is dead and perhaps he was playing it in such way too... Its just Katsaris vision of playing - fast but light... i like it.

[nico22059]

Your comment made me laugh lol. How can you be so stupid and don´t get the idea? I really liked this, a great technique combined with lots of different colours. Listen again carefully!

[demonicadvent]

First of all... This is Mozart's 40th symphony... not the 49th...

And secondly... can you do it? Because until you can post a video or audio recording of yourself making a better performance, your opinion has absolutely no value whatsoever.

Have a nice day (or night, depending on when you may read this...)

[sfg078]

I heartily disagree with your post, demonicadvent. Having the ability to create something- whether it be a performance, a novel, a painting, a movie or a recipe- is not necessarily a qualification for making criticisms and judgments. One might, and often does, know what something ought to sound like, or looks like, or taste like, (afterall, there are no absolutes in art), but may not know how to produce it.

[metoo60]

WoW best!!!

[777Marina]

Playing really too fast.

[klactv]

Yes, but the point is he can actually play that fast...

[NeoComposer]

Like anyone can post a better interpretation than this... It is best to take the video quality into consideration, even though it does need to show a more solid melody.

[jeanphilipperameau81]

my god!from the beginning, it's a TARANTELLA...where's the tragic-melancholy G-minor of Mozart???? HIGH TREASON

[rodstartube]

ya that's true, maybe because he plays it quite fast & mechanically, no feelings, he plays like a midi player

[shubus]

Yeah, finally something in time.

[sanctusignis]

I think I've come to realize that Katsaris is great at other composer's works, but his transcriptions go a bit too far.

[sanctusignis]

Now this I liked. Clean, well played, and in time.

[jockerouge]

fantastique

[GypsyPianist]

Hi! Please can you send me a copy of the sheet music? I was going to play the Stradal version, but I think this is better in most parts and will certainly flow with greater ease. I will give you my Email address.

[ric55]

The great thing about Katsaris is his commitment to the programming of works that others don't even bother to look at. A pianist who is a million miles from humdrum,thank goodness.

[charliehunternoban]

please sombody SEND ME THE SHEETMUSIC!!! ILL GIVE YOU MY EMAIL!!!!! IM STUNNED!!! P L E A S E !!!

[KittyCalee]

Hey you want the sheet to this song that Mozart plays??? I have and i'll give it to you becasue i played it once at a concert

[oddoneto]

If you can find the song in a midi file, you can transcribe the piece using a sheet music program

[philipfairclough1]

i enjoyed that, cheers!

[btnikk]

i'm also a big fan of katsaris. thanks for putting up this footage!!! -from seoul

[jennrose]

anyone who knows where I can provide this arrangement for piano?

[parkthoven]

Wow~it's rare trascription and it's truly magnificent~~!

[alra1975]

"C.Katsaris: the egocentric pianist". The only figure in History that remembers Him, is Paganini. A pair of good, even virtuosistic, hands but commanded by an egotistic mind. One night Paganini used to enchant His audience with sublime music, but another night He could have simulated the screams of animals like a charlatan.

[alra1975]

Two superhomistic egos, Paganini was a Nietzsche's figure ante litteram, Katsaris probably read too much "Ecce Homo" in His youth. He is a victim of His titanic ego, so suffocating even to blind the eyes of weak listeners.

[alra1975]

No, it's Homo Erectus is the true greatest living known pianist, not C.Katsaris. What a sad consolation prize to be the best just because Horowitz, Cziffra, Bolet, Richter, Benedetti Michelangeli and many other are already dead. Also Haydn was the best after Bach's and Haendel's deaths and what a poor era it was, just like our time...

[alra1975]

Sorry I forgot Lazar Berman but also Him died recently, indeed our is a sad, sad time...

[VanoPitersky]

Katsaris is the greatest living (known) pianist.Those who have ears will hear...

[ric55]

A 'super-virtuoso-feather-head with no taste' would hardly have taken the trouble to record all the Beethoven symphonies as transcribed by Liszt, nor would he be just about the only other person on the planet apparently apart from myself to play Busoni's transcription of Wagner's Trauermarsch from Gotterdammerung.

[busoniliszt]

Well, why don't you upload it and share it with the rest of the world since it is so rare...and it's not what or how many difficult things you record, it's HOW you play it.

ps Was that last comment meant for me or not, you should have clicked on "reply"!

[ric55]

Katsaris is great pianist in the tradition of Alkan, Liszt and Busoni. He is worth a dozen of the usual suspects of the world's concert halls.

[busoniliszt]

Sure, why not two dozen...tell me, what tradition do you mean and what do those 4 have in common? Very little in my view, this one is ONLY a super-virtuoso-feather-head with bad taste.

[lmnop2006]

the king IMO

he inherits of the legacy of great pianists past

[roderick123]

hes gonna get arthritis=)

[busoniliszt]

Enough is enough. I hate this vain pianist.

[karbon2003]

KAtsaris is the best for me.. respect.. fantastic pianist

[martinponcianoescalo]

cool is so cute

[bunny111]

kewl, hey i can play that on the clarinet. It' really hard when you only have 4 clarinets in the grade 12 school Band. our band teacher timed it and it was about 9 mins long, one of the longest pieces we've played!

[cygnusdei]

Wow, I didn't know this transcription existed (and I'm a Hummel buff). Where can I get this music?

[VanoPitersky]

The fact that Katsaris is a giant among pianists is self-evident.

[shilloshillos]

Cyprien Katsaris is one of the greatest pianists alive totally in the league of hamelin, Horowitz and others who compose and improvise.

[Sissco]

pleaseee one time is enough

[shilloshillos]

It will be enough when it will be enough.

[lazarogeorg]

great transcription indeed! I'm sorry to say such a thing about this "gigantic pianist" but my cell phone performs this symphony more expressively than he does..
