I'm sorry, but this lady can play. All these notions that other's have about her not having emotion or passion is uncalled for. It probably took her a considerable amount of time to be able to play this piece and it shows her passion and her virtuosity. I hope that my kid can one day play as good as she does. Those that dont like this really don't understand what it takes to play a piece of this magnitude.
Mostly a very gutsy performance and just like many reports of Liszt himself playing, she plays with all kinds of seemingly reckless abandon and one should not help but be dazzled. So few pianists perform with this energy or spirit. It's too bad the video is such poor resolution - but even so, this video in many ways is quite remarkable.
Fast and not especially clean and clear opening, but great flair. Middle section is too self-indulgent for my taste, but musical too. Obviously a big artist with some important ideas and things to say.
i dont like this interpretation.. this piece is so full of passion, and shes sitting there so charmless, without any passion. sorry but i dont like it
Die schnellen Passagen seelenlos und ohne jegliche Empfindung runtergehackt. Poesie kommt nur bei den lyrischen Episoden zum Vorschein. Das ist nicht der facettenreiche Mephisto. Dies ist Allerweltsgedonner! Schwache Leistung!
I love the way she handled this piece. Even if she played it fast, the bravura being there, it still appeared lyrical and showed her wonderful interpretation! I now love the mephisto waltz because of her.
