Alessio Bax plays Brahms Cziffra Hungarian Dance no.5. Live

[MrAsiaOtaku]

Bravo!!! excellent

[PIanoReview]

A fantastic performance, especially when compared with the recent "Proms" concerts where the Brits were busy trying to propel their prodigy into the height of the concert scene. But Bax here shows terrific virtuosity, charm, intensity, and a variety of other effects. It's too bad there is so little of his playing online - one can not here what he does in a sonata or any larger scale work. But just based on this and the Rachmaninoff alone, here is a pianist who plays at the highest level..

In the immortal words of Dark Helmet...."Engage LUDICROUS SPEED and set your fazers on 'mental hospital'!!

[bradgladin]

dont waste no time does he

[popeppel]

Really insane! the speed of this song is just wrist breaking!

[aro22012]

now the piano needs some tuning :O this is absolutely amazing ! I dont mind it being fast; Being at his level you can play anything in whatever speed and it still will be amazing ! Bravo !

[ELVS90]

I wanna do him.

[laranjinha80]

of course a playing faster is much more difficult, but not always better...

Congratz anyway !

[Paulland30]

Amazing........!!Virtuoso

[LadyPoopyPants]

This is being played way too fast.

[OrangeSodaKing]

I know this guy personally, and I'm still in disbelief that someone besides Cziffra can pull of Cziffra's version SO well and mastered!

[focker0000]

tooooo casual 

[lovetodraw5]

SLOW DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NN

[gerillaserbaz]

This is just plain awful, he literally destroyed a beautiful piece!

[phulei]

Pedals not clean enough.

[CarlPetersson1981]

@phulei My god, play it better yourself.

[alittleless16]

@phulei umm Fuck you.

[TheExarion]

Wow, lazy bow at the beginning meant a lazy performance. No emotion in there, whatsoever. Cziffra would've cried.

[mombeekmarcel]

this guy did understand NOTHING of the transcription made by cziffra, he let's it sound as sheap and only virtuosity, please listen to cziffra himself because this performance is bad

[sherulzz]

Not my favorite version of this song...I guess it's not my type. But those were mad skills.

Your fingers were a blur! I've never seen anyone play with such passion. Scarry.

[jepm17]

Overfingered, lousy transcription.

[juggernautseru16]

nicely done

[OrangeSodaKing]

Awesome! Bax is wonderful, and Cziffra's paraphrase on the Brahms piece is wonderful too.

[GavMasterD]

2:31 whoaaaaaa

[danmail13579]

nemtom mindek kell így túlbonyolítani, így sokkal szarabb

[steavenle]

this version can't make me feel like dance as the original. anyway, it's very hard.

[matt22a]

1:53 is amazing WOW!!!!!!!!

[SyemurN]

very clean performance. bravo! :D

[Kapomafioso]

I love 1:09 he added this part himself, or it is in the score?

[sifahane]

it's in the score

[Achtelnote]

of course is it in the score.

[dindin010]

[BenGabbay]

Not my favourite transcription, but still, beautiful, and astoundingly played!

[Adyanny]

[Illbeseeingyouhehe]

[sekayujora]

[watcher613]
