Enrico Pace plays Liszt - Dante Sonata (part 2 of 2)

[MsFloopdedoop]

Ugh 5:27 is just so beautiful I could die

[Egide0]

Starting at 0:00 to 0:50 it's like Liszt was touched by an angel, slowly raising him up on invisible stairs, until he reached on top of the sky...

[JohnRift]

This part is very beautiful indeed

[DreamworldTV]

Enrico even looks like the devil but with an afro, quite fitting considering the piece he's playing, but then adding a pitchfork with horns and a red cape would be an even better option!!!

[TheJoyfulPianist]

his execution of the four chords at the coda are incredibly powerful. The best execution I've heard. 8:19-8:27.

[burr123456789]

amazing at 2:30 how he actually got all the notes- its a beast of a section to play fast

[Andytheminstrel]

True passion and musical ability of the highest caliber. A master on the piano, Liszt looks down upon Pace with approval.

[cuoylyf]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrGunterguerrero]

' Dante ' Sonata (Annés de Pèlerinage, Book 2, Italy) S. 161, 1849...Book 2 concludes with ' Après une lecture du Dante - Fantasia quasi Sonata ' to give its full title.

Liszt masterly played by Enrico Pace.

[cuoylyf]

@MrGunterguerrero Thank you so much dear Guinter!

[annapianist0804]

Is he at the Franz Liszt International Pianocompetition in Utrecht here?

[pianolistenerk]

Yeah this is really good in a lot of different ways

[operaemi]

what I love about Liszt: just when you forget that the piece has a minor melody, you get sucked into the very heart of sickeningly beautiful music

~ 4:30

[KeithWhalen11]

Enrico Pace's interpretation is mind-blowing! And so is the sound emanating from that Fazioli.

[masterofpiano1]

OMFG the grathest end after la campanella

[Sennettfan]

oh oh oh... Wow...

[bobrasta123]

Cazzo non sbaglia un salto cn la sinistra a 2.30.....ma come fa???

[mrchopin89]

just wow!

[SaigheadBhriste]

Excellent performance of an excellent piece.

[Maja90LOVEBerezovsky]

omg!

[torontochopin]

Truly a remarkable performance, quite imaginative, powerful, and riveting. In terms of imagination, drama, passion, power, and pacing, Pace gets the true meaning of it, unlike so many other pianists. I have yet to hear a more riveting and imaginative performance than this(see my comment on part 1).

[tchebinai71]

He 's very low on the seat ...

[everythingistken1291]

yes he is, but not as low as Glenn Gould LOL

[siebhirn]

@everythingistken1291 mayby only victor borge is lower on the seat...

[lrave001]

what a fucking monster...I don't think anyone else can interpret this piece any better than Enrico Pace

[Ellinidara]

totally agree with you!!

[chipncharge94]

@lrave001 have you listened to volodos....

[Glissan]

Eh ma se sta seduto cosi' basso, produce ovviamente ottave stanche e "volgari". Pero' è un gran pianista, di tutto rispetto. Preferisco in ogni caso Brendel in questa interpretazione

[985Carlo985]

infatti le ottave di Horowitz, che sedeva ancora +basso di Pace, erano proprio stanche e volgari no? ...... -.- di certo non dipende da come siede.. e non mi pare proprio che abbia brutte ottave anzi!

[Glissan]

vabbè, non t'arrabbiare..era solo una mia opinione. Non lo preferisco, specialmente in alcuni passi, ma ne riconosco il valore, l'ho già detto. Poi non vedo cosa c'entri Horowitz:mica ho detto che tutti quelli che suonano bassi hanno brutte ottave? E cmq era una sensazione di origine personale. Per me è slabrato..tutto qua.

[Ellinidara]

scusami se mi permetto,ma credo sia uno dei più grandi virtuosi di oggi Pace,ultrapagato e considerato giustamente fra i grandissimi,e quasi ignorato in Italia.(il che mi pare scandaloso).

[Glissan]

Prego, figurati, mica rinnego questa cosa? E comunque il fatto che sia ultrapagato non vuol dir nulla. Insomma, mi par di capire che non si possa esprimere un parere musicale personale. Ne prendo atto, grazie lo stesso.

[Ellinidara]

...guarda che io amo solo lo scambio di opinioni,non era una critica a te,mi sono permessa solo perchè Pace lo conosco molto bene, sappi che rispetto tutti,e sono per la libertà.Mi spiace essere stata fraintesa.

[Glissan]

Scusami tu, non avevo colto la tranquillità del tuo intervento. Mi spiace. Anche a me piace lo scambio costruttivo. Ero un attimo basita per una ragione: sembra non sia -in generale, non mi riferisco a te- possibile esporre un parere personale, discutibilissimo e nel massimo della umiltà, solo quando ci si riferisce ai grandi, come per l'appunto nel caso di Pace. Mi rendo conto forse che si tratta di un limite telematico. Grazie a te e scusa ancora.

[Ellinidara]

:-))) ^_^ (comunque hai ragione,appena dici "ah" su qualche nome, tutti ti balzano addosso)...Bè,andiamo comunque avanti:-)

[oaklinks]

I am surprised he is not better known. His performances are just very fine indeed.  Passion in full measure with extraordinary clarity...... Oh to own a Fazioli ...

[boscos121]

lets face it when it comes to liszt playing ep is about as shit hot as it gets/fantastic and i have seen horowitz live and i love liszt. but listen to ep play rachmaninoff say for example and there are certainly better players.but all credit to ep because lets face it what a lot of powerless nonsense rachmaninoff is when compared to liiszt and indeed beethhoven and the great teutonic music.why do people bother to learn pieces of rcf.? it beats me.however perhaps this partlyexplains why ep inbk.

[Haeronthegreat]

@boscos121 Hint: there's a rather popular video on here of 'EP' playing 'RCF' sonata 2.

[boscos121]

d htg i have sent replies to you but not getting through utube failure hans von bulow quote-in the beginning there was rhythm-check out ac/dc-let there be rock-no bull-on utube they know what he meant/means just dont think rcf has got the rhythmic power of lzt beeth shubert-pn sons/wanderer fantasy- bach meade lux lewis-honky tonk train blues,etc-still love ep and lzt is a hard act to follow i think it all went to the blues after him i can hear blue toality in rcf but he cant boogie sad for him.

[legendarypwnerv2]

? rcf piano concerto no.2 one of the greatest pieces to exist. Rach is the definition of what dark songs should sound like.

[boscos121]

dear lgdy clearly rcf has plenty of fans see my reply to haeronthegreat re my thoughts on matters to do with rhythm better to say pulse the late romantics were increasingly loosing sight of the importance of this the first function of music is to cause one to dance to be something one can move to this is strong say in eg bach but not in rcf and other sim l. rtics with their poderous long themes.i like to tap my feet to move and look at pretty girls see mll h t train blues a minature no wastage.

[suzettegm]

wat een vertolker!

[TheJoyfulPianist]

magnificent.

[FranzLiszt2]

[DF5JT]

This is from the inauguration of the Fazioli 308 grand piano in that hall in the Netherlands, right?

He also played the Schubert 3 pieces D 946 at that time, if I remember correctly.
