Maxim Ladid (*1991)- Liszt: Mazeppa (Transcend. Etudes)(1/2)

[PhiiLana]

THOMAS DUIS IST MEIN ONKEL ;DD

Haha wie geil ;D

[demosj]

I've browsed the site and heard a dozen different performances by non-professionals. This is the only one worth listening to.

It's immensely frustrating. Why do the other pianists even bother posting their videos? They only get bragging rights for playing Liszt when they can play it competently. Anyone can do a half-assed job.

[annanueta]

@demosj yeah, playing liszt somewhat half-assy seriously is something pretty mucheveryone out there can do, just like that. it`s like walking or talking. I only listen to professional records, but since I´m immensely bored I from time to time also watch "bad" records of great music just to annoy other people with my comments later on. other people just decide not to watch what they don´t like, but what do I care? I´m so much smarter than anyone out there, I`m a sucky player but an awesome jerk.

[maxi937]

It's missing something, some bravura. He should be thrusting his head back!

[maxi937]

Sorry that was harsh!

[vikrak]

Awesome

!!!

[piano6861]

Great technique!

[dantemichelangelo]

é un bel casino questo pezzo...comunque lo domini bene

[digiarto]

Raikerus' version is boring and unmusical.

[VideoJonas]

sehr gut!

erinnert ihr euch noch, an eueren Aufenthalt in Ettlingen?

[LatifLadid]

Vielen Dank! Ja natürlich erinnere ich mich noch an euch alle:) Liebe Grüße.M

[parule]

why there's nobody,who plays it better than cziffra?

[kapayazi808]

Raikerus played so many wrong notes it was a bit painful to listen to. Nice job on Mazeppa!

[thesunlessea]

I couldnt even finish Raikerus mazeppa, it was terrible.

And great job on the double thirds lafifladid, i think its the best playing of them on youtube.

Did you use 2 4 the whole time?

[maxi937]

Changing fingers on the double thirds is more practical, and sounds better. 24 doesn't work. My teacher Murray Mclachlan said that, and he is the head of keyboard at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester.

[thesunlessea]

For real, I play changing the fingers and so does my teacher. I just keep seeing youtube comments by people who play chopsticks calls other weak for not playing 24 the whole time.

[ibclappin]

Raikerus played it how it should be played but he played some wrong keys i think. it's the video that says "Mazeppa the tru way."

[niashia]

Look Berezovsky's version ^^ (technically and musically better).

[LatifLadid]

I'm honoured to be compared with a great pianist like Boris Berezovsky! :-)

[meneltar]

I sincerely preffer you than Boris Berezovsky

I attented to his Rach2 here in Rio de Janeiro...

It was unmusical, simply.

[OverFjell]

@LatifLadid Your execution of the octaves in between versions of the main theme remind me of the way he executes them, only slower, not that slower's a bad thing at all.

[goobleglob]

i disagree. the fact that he's not flamboyantly moving around and faking emotions is actually very good for this piece. it makes it different, and makes him seem so much more musical.

[englishphil37]

phenomenal. should move a little more just for the sake of presentation.
