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
-
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.

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.
