You did a great job. Thanks for uploading this.

The only other performance worth hearing is Bolet's.

Lovely piece, and nicely played! I have a former employer who collects old player piano rolls (and the coin-operated machines that play them), and he has one with this sextet on it plus the triumphal march from "Aida."

The pianist is the user himself!

I've listened to the 2 recordings of this piece, by the same pianist and think this is, by far, the better of the two. I just cannot stop listening to this....it's so-o beautiful.
Request: Please record some Chopin and post the videos on YouTube, for me and people like me. And, let me know when you do. You are a superb artist! Again, thanks for this splendid gift

Who is the pianist? I love this reworking of that beautiful sextet by Donizetti. Of all the videos of the wistful Donizetti theme, I like this the best [over all the operatic videos on YouTube]. I have filed this away with all of my favorite music. The pianist is extraordinarily fine.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
A real gift
Thank you

There's an ossia for part of the piece which I use on occasion; I also substituted a passage for Liszt's final cadenza which I've always found rather incongruous. It's a paraphrase after all, and I don't believe you need to play them exactly as written - I very much doubt Liszt played it the same way twice.

terrific r/h passagework starting at 3:33. you really understand the function of fioritura and don't emit it like a typewriter like so many moderns.

Thanks. I must admit I really dislike hearing pianists who seem either unaware of, or unable to make, the distinction between foreground melodic/thematic material and background ornamentation. They should listen to (for example) Hofmann playing the Wagner-Brassin Magic Fire Music (it's on youtube) from 1.46; it would be educational.
