Grigory Ginzburg plays Liszt "Vallee d'Obermann" (1/2)

[toneeeeeee]

It's interesting, some of the little rhythmic things he does. Exceptional playing.

To ALL visitors:

My channel is under "attack" by former YT user tHEnOOSEsWING & Co. They rate video with 1 star and mark comments "thumbs down". Please ignore and mark it up! ;)

We will do, don't worry.

Btw, screw them all!

[jero13595]

How immature can these people get?

[astroedic]

The only real regret is: one cannot have the video of Grigory Ginsburg! What a loss! And what a gem of an artist he was!

Wow, some people must really have sad lives...

[pianopera]

Could I embody and unbosom now

That which is most within me, - could I wreak

My thoughts upon expression, and thus throw

Soul, heart, mind, passions, feelings, strong and weak,

All that I would have sought, and all I seek,

Bear, know, feel, and yet breathe - into ONE word,

And that one word would were Lightning, I would speak;

But as it is, I live and die unheard,

With a most voiceless thought, sheathing it as a sword."

(Lord Byron)

@pianopera

Wonderful playing! Where is this poem from?

[pianopera]

It's from "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage".

One correction in the 7th sentence, it should be:

"And that one word were Lightning, I would speak;"

I hadn't heard this suite for a couple of years at least. What a find! Liszt never ceases to amaze me *****

Liszt is a composer that you can revisit countless times and find something new every time. The greatest genius of the 19th century.
