Liberace Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini 18th Var.wmv

[GooglFascists]

They must have had the best sound recording system of the day

for Liberace's show. This was the 1950's and just put this music

up against ANY other program of the era. The piano and harmony

are simply beautiful! A real class act!

This song was in the movie Groundhog Day .

This should clear up the 'Kriesler' thing.

[keyboardmagic]

Absolutely beautiful as only Liberace can play it.. The movie 'Somewhere in Time" is also one of my favorites as well, and even though it has a sad ending it is still a beautiful, eternal love story.

this is one of my favorite pieces it was used in the movie somewhere in time with Christopher Reeves,and Jane Seymore

I understand he meant this is a "kreisler" version. Who Kreisler? Fritz?

[einnocjoe1]

He was the greatest. I used to come home from school and watch him. He had a 15 min. show, in the 50s.

[LLJtbone]

He gives the piano version of a "kiss off" with his hands like Maynard Ferguson did!

[GregLile]

Rachmaninoff-Kreisler? What is he talking about?

[joesubaruson]

@GregLile He meant this was a Kreisler version. Even this particular variation itself, Rachmaninov borrowed from some known composer. As far as I know, Chopin and Liszt borrowed and borrowed. The man who writes down the best version is remembered as the composer of the piece.
