Far too pompous and magisterial at the outset.

2) most pianists, even the greatest ones, often play finger passages leading to chordal climaxes too "lightly" , imo, lacking the fullness of sound as andre gives. amazing . the musicality is magnificent also..with his understanding of shits between "cantilena" lines and "speaking" lines..and he brings out the TENSION in the large work from section to section. beautiful rendition.

i have heard plenty of the most celebrated versions of this work, and used to make this a "specialty" of mine when I was in "the world of music" among colleagues and I must say THIS is TRUE liszt playing in my view, and one of the most magnificent renditions. to play the lisztian "running notes" in the fortissimo sections with INDIVIDUAL force in the notes building up to the chordal climaxes is EXTREMELY challenging and I have rarely heard versions that accomplish that as Andre does..

incredible

Great playing. He's from Germany. I think his mother is Hungarian, like Liszt that might explain this wonderful interpretation. His father is African, that explains his skin color. In total he looks like a Cuban Marlon Brando that can play the piano!

For Joel. This is part one of three.

@ayomon1 I believe Watts was African-Hungarian American and what is this, "...what African American men can accomplish besides Basketball and Football..."? You make being a professional Football or Basketball player not accomplished? and only African Americans are typically that. When I see Watts perform I see no color but a genius; yes motivation, support and opportunity helps but to play like that you are born that way it's a gift to us from a higher power.

@dorfmanjones Yamahas are fine Steinways are good too but more for the snobs of the classical world.

He is truly amazing! I have some of his recordings of Chopin on CD!
