LISZT IS OUT OF THIS "PIANIST" LEAGUE.

[fiandrhi]

I agree with the comments about Lytle's technique. It is not the greatest. All I can say is that I grew up near UCSD and so had a chance to hear him perform on numerous occasions and I usually heard great "heart" in what he plays. I realize that excuse is often used for pianists with poor technique, but it's true and he often interests me, which is more than I can say for some with greater technique.

I should also say I don't know him and never took a class from him.

West coast classical artists are so much different from East coast classical artists!

[GuyDeffeyes]

What a tremendous work and control of himself ! THANK YOU MAN !

[massimiliano123123]

He play the sonata with freedom. He has a good technique, but he does too mistakes...

[bchill69]

bbb

[linclinc5]

He plays it with freedom, like he's a jazz pianist. The classicals are so rigid, playing exactly on the beat, exactly as the composer directed.....sod that, interpret it.

[Enerkhan]

awful rendition, simply awful.

[Kijjakarn]

I think this piece is awful!

[LilBoaCOnstrictor]

On a scale of one to 10, I played this just OK at about 8, upon graduation. My prof. woudld not have let me perform it like THIS at my graduation. This man is prof. of piano at UCSD??? The Liszt Sonata is one of the greatest piano pieces ever written. But this rendition, is way below par. the recording sound is not bad at al. The rythm is OK. That is ALL the positive things I can say here.

[psychopatedpianist]

Amazingly short fingers to play Listz.

[chowshu]

is it me or the piano sounds weird on the bass notes?

[marcohorowitz8]

somebody tell him he is not very good!!

[TheChai23]

Your performance was awesome, Cecil. There's another awesome pianist ..... sounds like you ! And she's the Leventritt gold medalist CECILE LICAD.

[worras2007]

Don't get angry on me - There is no music in there...It's only sounds like "a bear walking on the moss"...Not even speaking about Liztz. I myself play piano and rather well, BUT I NEVER dare to play anything that is above my technical skill...

[ghettopenguin92]

i laughed when u said that cuz my fat black friend looks like a bear lol

[PHDROD]

Thanks Cecil. A pleasure to hear you play. You are a fine and dedicated musician.

[PopperNazi]

I think the sound is bad and too bassy maybe but if you like Liszt u think people would appreciate him and not call him a failure or lack of skill in anyway

[normthedoorman]

Not all that impressive actually, but I tip my hat to anyone who goes out and preforms this monster of a piece.

[Wazzup132435465768]

Oh forgot to mention just two small pieces from Liszt, like one being the sonata. lol. One of Liszts greatest and most difficult pieces. That might have helped to mention. EXCELLENT pianist. Super clarity, on an extremely bright piano

[katta10]

simplemente hermoso!
