Liberace (Franz Liszt) 14th Hungarian Rhapsody

Lee Liberace plays Franz Liszt's 14th Hungarian Rhapsody
.
,
My playlists include music by Lee Liberace, Jon England, Richard Clayderman, Roger Williams, Hoagy Carmichael, Michel Legrand, Art Tatum, Dino Kartsonakis, Errol Garner, Charlie Schaffer, Russ Conway, Ferrante & Teicher, Carl Doy, Beegie Adair, Caravelli, Floyd Cramer, Geoff Love, Horst Jankowski, Ronnie Aldrich, Stanley Black, David Foster, Claude Bolling, Edison Valencia, Marrina Waks, and one Liberace imitator who tags his stuff [Roger Williams] and [Branson] and has told me not to mention his name. There are also many pieces by little known [nobodies] who are fantastic piano soloists, admired mainly by their YouTube fans. I am looking for videos of Bill Pursell, Felix Slatkin, George Shearing, John Arpin, Norm Geller, Norman Percival, and Gordon Franks. I would be amiss if I didnt have the greats Del Wood and JoAnn Castle on my page, however, they are only favorited, and not in the playlists. As much as I admire their talent, its a far cry from the romantic style Im after.

Hope you enjoy.

A excellent version of Liszt's 14th Hungarian Rhapsody, by Liberace. He was by far, the most talented pianist/entertainer of the 20th century. It's wonderful to see that his memory lives on through YouTube and the Liberace Museum.

[pianoplaylist]

Well said. His music sends chills up my spine. And to have the privilege of time travel via Youtube to watch him perform live is an unspeakable privilege.

keyboardmagic: I am glad it lives on,as I am still fairly young(28)and most of Liberace's stuff was unfortunately before my time. I agree he was by far the most talented,it's also unfortunate most people my age don't listen to decent music. I want to visit the Liberace museum one day

[albanybeardguy]

Not the greatest pianist in the world, but my god he had style!

@rrryyy666 Well Said.

@hedunlap...Just to clarify things; the Museum is not gone, and although the public areas were closed to the public, Liberace's things are still there. However, in Spring of this year they will begin a National Tour of Liberace's artifacts in St. Louis, MO. The exhibit will include, 20 costumes, 3 pianos, 1-4 cars, candelabras & other collectibles, audio & film footage, and so much more; over 300 artifacts in all. All the proceeds from the tour will go to the Liberace Foundation.

@keyboardmagic The museum is gone. It closed up last year and all the stuff was carted off to who knows where.

[keyboardmagic]

@loknloll ....Yes, I knew Liberace personally for many years, mainly through fan clubs and attending receptions & parties in his honor with my husband. We were both avid fans and as time went on we became aquainted with others in his organization. We were also his special guests at the LV Hilton for our anniversary one year. We have some great memories of his generosity....

[loknloll]

@keyboardmagic was he your boyfriend? you seem to be speaking as if you knew him personally

[keyboardmagic]

@loknloll ...Liberace actually started out as an all-classical pianist, but soon became the ultimate entertainer, He always wanted to have 'fun' with his audiences and loved to see them smile. Also, his personality played not only an important role in his early television shows, but to his 'live' performances as well. He was more than just a showman, he was a kind, sincere and wonderful person,

[keyboardmagic]

@Gibson29 ..I'm sorry you didn't appreciate my comment about Liberace. It's only a personal opinion. Even Liberace himself use to say he was never the greatest pianist; but what he was able to do was to give the average person an appreciation of good music. The 'showman' actually happen by chance. There is a story about how the costumes came about.

[loknloll]

@keyboardmagic maybe one of the most talented entertainers, and even that is negotiable by a long shot. most definitely not the most talented pianists. he was a showman, and his classical knowledge and repertoire (and memory) certainly impressive.

but he pales considerably compared to the mighty sviatoslav richter or even glen gould.

[imayocu]

One of the foremost pianist of the 20th century, period. If he would have been a composer with his technique he would have been equal to Rachmaninov, Chopin and the likes.

Absolutely impecable playing.
