  • did you ever try to play erlkönig on the piano???? your a fool man

  • Come on, dude. He did it so us pianists who can't sing for shit and who can't hire a singer whenever it takes our fancy can play this whenever we want. No, Liszt isn't saying "here's how I would've done it." He's saying "here, now we can sing (play) this gorgeous music too." This isn't the only Schubert song he transcribed, I think he did almost all of them.

  • it's amaaazing!!!

  • It was a fantastic performance accuracy wise and overall playing. BUT he didn't have much emotion as one should have while playing this piece. But like I said, really good playing :)

  • ... Mister Spooner ... this is terrific stuff ... thankyou ... ! ... yes ... you have legitimised the grand pianforte ... in a way you have become a teacher of mine ... you play the singing line very well ... !

  • @HerrHansCastorp1 I think so. There's nobody in the audience. Probably just doing a relaxed runthrough to get used to the piano for a later performance where he'll unleash all the fury! I've seen him live, and he's very capable of it. ;)

  • omg its such a pain on your right hand to play this honestly .... this piece requires intense endurance

  • @HerrHansCastorp1

    Have you tried playing it yourself? It's got to be one of the most taxing pieces for a pianist (even the original accompaniment, never mind the Liszt transcription). Think of the repetition of all thos fast notes.

  • He was one of the teachers at the Missouri Fine Arts Academy!! Him and his wife, too bad they are thinking of cutting the academy from the budget.

  • oh mann ich habe so etwas geniales noch nie auf dem Klaviere gehöhrt, I never hear some genial piece anywherer

  • Wonderful!!!!!! amazing!

  • Too slow...Is he practising?
