God. Listening him, piano sounds so easy to play. This music is amazing.. Liszt is amazing. So rich, full and dense like a gigantic river.

Lugansky: great pianist.

@oxsaphiraxo I've always thought of Lugansky and Berezovsky as two friends like Chopin and Liszt. Chopin was more poetic and light in his playing, Liszt had more of the power" and bravura. Luganksy practically worships Rachmaninoff, who in turn followed more in the style of Chopin. Berezovsky, has huge stubby hands like Anton Rubinstein (Beethoven reincarnate?) and deeply likes Liszt, Beethoven and performs Chopin like Liszt probably would. Both are different and offer great music.

@tchykovsky

What a silly dichotomy.

First of all, while I don't know much about Liszt's own playing, this "rather powerful than poetic" certainly doesn't translate to his body of compositions, so it's entirely irrelevant when talking about pianists performing these composers.

Then, some would object to your point that Rach was "more like Chopin", considering he was also a fan of "hammy" runs and sentimental extensions - so maybe he was more like Liszt?

This is silly.

Le me after watching this : "HANDS ! WHY AREN'T YOU CAPABLE ? IT SEEMED SO EASY !"

Ganz einfach fabelhaft. Der beste Chasse-neige den ich je gehört habe. Wie ein Lebewesen entwickelt und gestaltet sich das Stück unter seinen Händen.

Die Aufnahme von Arrau ist auch himmlisch, aber diest ist etwas ganz sonderbares.

Amazing. I think anyone who plays this piece, let alone who plays it this well, deserves the utmost respect from the music community.

For those of you who are wondering about the chromatic scale fingering:

RH: B-D# (1-5), E-F# (1-3), G-A# (1-4), etc; yes, the pinky...the 1313 fingering wasn't fast enough for Liszt, and apparently not for Lugansky/Berezovsky either! Try this fingering, within a few min you'll be as fast as them! lol

LH: Gb-A (4-1), Bb-C (3-1), Db-D (3,1), Eb-F (3-1), etc

@OriginalBasaliskos Arrau does great justice to the piece, but I honestly believe that pieces like Chasse-neige and Mazeppa NEED a ton of speed, or else you don't hear the "fire" driving these pieces like you should. That's why I like berezovsky's interpretations of those harder TE pieces so much. It was said that Liszt and his students played Wilde Jagd in about FOUR MINUTES.

@MrHeyheyhey27 What about Arrau? His is my favorite.

[MrHeyheyhey27]

The first performance of this piece that I've heard that I like as much as Berezovsky's.

Did anyone else get terrified and think of Slenderman when the video skipped at around 0:48?

[MrBargain512]

He's a genius! 02/10/2011 was a concert in Minsk, it was just brilliant!

I heard him play this in an old monastery in Mallorca on a very hot August night. Simply riveting. He looks like he stepped from a Tolstoy novel.
