(HQ) Transcendental Etude No.5, Feux Follets (Berezovsky)

[JakeMDavey]

Right hand part is so fucking difficult.

[DJBustOficial]

One of the hardest pieces ever composed. It's amazingly fast! Still impressed with Berezovsky playing... The best interpretation of the whole transcendental etudes in my opinion.

[achan1058]

His touches are so ridiculously light! How on earth does it do it??

[Bochum96]

The download link doesn't work :( can you upload it again?

[anderwold1]

at 0:50, the piano had an orgasm.

[NathanPhungMusic]

Such incredible light touch... Most other interpreters play it straight like a Czerny etude when it should be really light and dainty...

[melindasys]

awesome shit. look at his technique and sweat LOL omfg.

[ann03071874]

Jesus christ he is fucking good!

[Laudan08]

Jesus crap, it will take me like 2 months to build the technique for this one...

[OriginalBasaliskos]

From the top view, it looks like the right hand is spasming.

[FishGush]

This is a extremely diffcult etude.. and Mr. Berezovsky show us that this is playable with the right technique. Well done!!

[mathpianist93]

let's ask Godowsky to create his transcriptions of all 18 Transcendental Etudes!

[Zsup]

@mathpianist93 Isn't there only twelve?

[kotndarkswords]

Bravo! It would be nice if we could see his hands more though!

[SlyStallone208]

@kotndarkswords Maybe the photographers deemed the average mortal audience would be unable to safely view such awesomeness without long and frequent breaks.

[cammywatt95]

omg, that was beautiful!! the ending especially, sounded so effortless

[bluesyboypete]

a funny story: I sent this video to one friend of mine, who does not happen to be well-acquainted with a classical music repertoire, so, naturally, he did not know this piece. His response was - man, this video must have been speeded up for his hands to move like this. I found it hilarious and ignorant at the same time.

[nintendowns]

I dont even think the human hand was designed to move like that . Its like every finger has its own brain.

[behemeth2000]

Oh haha and 1:59 reminds me of the movie

The legend of 1900 piano duel part

[bersa888]

Like for anything for hard, as a pianist, you have to hit it before your twenties... or else :-) I wish I had :-(

[eltachimetro]

i think that the "climaxs" of the etude, he doesnt focus them that much, but the rest of the piece is very good played, i like berezovsky's performance since.. uff.. long ago xD

[BryceBnc]

Lol what is that at 2:55, there like a little waving flag..

[celach]

@BryceBnc Someone in the audience trying to cool him/herself down from this orgasmic experience.

[Lity10]

@BryceBnc prolly someone sweating :d

[bencrom]

it's taken me 6 months to learn one of these studies to a poor standard, but this guy has learnt all twelve. Riddiculous

[curzmg]

Wow... That is certainly the best Feux Follets I've ever seen! Thank you Celach. By the way you have a typo in the description, you've accidentally hit an 'i' so it reads 'Feux Fillets' which sounds like a lovely fish dish.

[celach]

@curzmg Haha. Corrected, thanks.

[chipncharge94]

@celach the beginning he played cleaner on an older recording... listen to ashkenazys feux follets.

and: the thing who is really amazing, is that he played all 12 on the same eveneing without leaving his chair..

[chipncharge94]

@curzmg the beginnin he played cleaner he be played cleaner on an older recording. and: listen to the one of ashkenazy... the real absolutely amazing thing is that he played all 12 on the same concert without leaving his chair.

[curzmg]

@chipncharge94 Well that is impressive, I will definitely take a look at that!

[sickley1]

@curzmg or possibly a musical fish dish? Just imagine! Dinner and a show right on your plate!!!

[curzmg]

@sickley1 Yes, I believe that's a Berezovsky special, it became necessary when his audiences started feeling vicariously exhausted!

[Desmonddd2002]

his radioactive hands shimmers the light of beauty.

[cody55909]

This is one sweaty bastard

[Achtelnote]

the cutter has to be shot immediately.

[geuros]

as you can see between 1:54 to 1:57, it is complete played under UNA CORDA pedal. That is, why it sounds so beautiful, but in pianissimo.

[ViolinMaster007]

Better than Cziffra and Richter, U r right, but not the best. Lazar Berman! If you want I can send his record to You.

But Berezovsky is Godlike!

[bennettpiano]

@ViolinMaster007 lazar is the man.

[2494521]

The best Feux Follets I have ever heard! Better then Cziffra, Richter...

[Egide0]

Funny Berezovsky Moments

1) At 0:04 he gets ready for a photo shoot, looks in the wrong camera and doesn't smile

2) At 0:42 he starts to dance but remembers that he's still playing

3) At 0:48 he's jumping in super speed--- SUPERMAN!

4) At 2:29 he closes his eyes and prays for about 0.5 seconds!

5) finally, at 2:40, he thinks someone from the audience called his name... and he takes a look!

[op10no4]

@Egide0 lol

[massimiliano123123]

@Egide0 you are a genius!! ahah

[TheMrFunGuy]

@massimiliano123123 Check out my channel...got this guy's videos uploaded.

[Cancrizans]

@Egide0 2 years ago...Egide0 makes comments about Boris Berezovsky while smoking crack.

[Egide0]

@Cancrizans I wish! Never smoked crack...really! Ah, denying it won't change a thing anyway.

[Egide0]

This is HARD TO PLAY!!! From 0:42 you need a freaking good right hand with PERFECT fingers as well as a well balanced left arm that knows how to jump. Berezovsky must be a MAGICIAN to pull off the technique involved at 2:00 at that accuracy and tempo....INSANE!

[hellomate639]

It's pretty much two tremolos in one hand, also changing to produce a melody.

[Egide0]

That's precisely the point... two tremolos on one hand.... and don't forget that some notes have to be heard as well (3rd notes besides the two tremolos on the same hand) which makes the whole process hellish!

[Gothic1982]

My God... his left hand...

[DesAbends]

Awful photography.

[MagicZeric]

this one is so strange... It's like someone else has made it... I think it's a good one for Kissin, he like so much when it's fast...

[FredilYupigo]

That's why Liszt called it the will-o-the-wisp. Listen to it a few times, it grows on you :)

[mrchristkngo]

Excellent execution and emotional.

[mozeskriebel]

O... My.... God.

Incredible. Brillaint:D Words cant say enough here : - )

[ariodb]

Me too ;-|

[sagara89]

I want... his hands ;_;

[FredilYupigo]

Well said! :P
