Aldo Ciccolini: Isolde Liebestod (Wagner-Liszt)

[@sissichopin91]

He's 85 years old; his playing is amazing and in fact this is the best Isolde Liebestod on youtube. All notes are so clear; there are so many colours and dynamics. Wonderful, absolutely.

[@thelostgenius1212]

It is a magnific performance indeed, but take a look at Ervin Nyiregyhazi

[@antibano]

Sure, but now let you hear the second: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXCqHmuqNaof7ssi=C7njg_3VUZfCv8F5

[@antibano]

Aldo Ciccolini un Immortale 💙❣️Lui quando suonava raccontava la Sua Anima Nobile e la tanta Sensibilità con cui ci ha gratificati. Sempre all'estero i Geni devono andare per avere ciò che si meritano😢❤

[@aloisiarigotti]

Insuperabile. Semplicemente divino.

[@bubffm]

Plaing this in such perfection at age 85 is unbelievable

[@robertocarvalhodemagalhaes3648]

Why isn't it possible to like it more times? What a great pianist! And what a great performance at that age. All Liszt played by Ciccolini is sublime.

[@tallisrocktube]

A life time of perfection in the art of piano performance, grazie mille - signore Aldo Ciccolini

[@MegaJobba]

che meraviglia! cosa non si riusciva a tirar fuori dal pianoforte così tanto tempo fa, mi vien quasi da ridere :D ed io che a volta non ho il coraggio di fare un tremolo. ma perchè io fo cacare e Liszt è un DIO

[@nadiadesimone9853]

MegaJobba 😂

[@mariettechabaud1242]

Je reviens du Gers...cette musique ce maître me font repenser à la douceur des paysages ,les couleurs de la terre; les vallons et le ciel rosé bleu si léger.

[@sisseli1]

A very beautiful interpretation of the Master.

[@artenfamily]

Es una hermosa interpretacion

[@MrVolpetina]

Esecuzione davvero meravigliosa

[@catherinekelly532]

Requiescat in Pace Signor Ciccolini Maestro

[@kaorik4182]

In the first four bars, I was already moved.

[@mariaperez-cr6ji]

Sino no te elevas, no tienes alma. Es sublime. El sentir del amor ❤️

[@catrinaciccone6945]

a qualsiasi era' incredibile!

[@camomile988]

Beautiful! I do not know what to say. Sparkling!

[@EuropeanArtsAcademy]

... la leggenda del pianoforte ... Grande !!!!

[@nancysikes]

Just wonderful.

[@goodmanmusica]

wow

[@osilliso]

I totally have to agree: This rendition is much better than Horowitz' version. This is really good, capturing the character of the even if Liszt's annotations are not followed in all details. I really like it, although I still prefer the real piece - especially with Waltraud Meier singing :)

[@Fiorenzo1987]

incredibile......

[@lsbrother]

Wonderful. What is it about musicians that enable (some of) them to maintain a high level for so long, 85 years old here?

[@Appassionata90]

his hands are enormous...! I have maybe half oft this ;-)

[@aggelikisynadinou6985]

🌹

[@gerardbedecarter]

Nice playing.

[@Yochanangp]

One of the best sound of his time. Today, Boris Berezovsky, Russian pianist.

[@marclinlin2799]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊

[@stevenvanstadenvanstaden4317]

I do wish people in these forums would stop describing performances as "the best." It's a sign of stupidity. This is NOT to say that Mr Ciccolini does not deserve all the praise lavished on him here. It's just a general comment about this "best" that applies to almost every performance by every performer on You Tube, which shows it up as all the more ludicrous.

[@daisy13joyce]

Don't be such a snob.

[@AlexanderArsov]

@@daisy13joyce , if not being stupid is snobbish, I hope there are more snobs in this world.

[@stevenvanstadenvanstaden4317]

@Viking Song To take one example right here - "in fact this is the best on KZbin" - I ask you how this "fact" can be an "opinion"? Of course people are entitled to their opinions as they are to their ignorance but it's wrong to let them delude themselves into imagining that there can be such a thing as "the best" of anything. It's personal, not universal, it's opinion, not fact.

[@PBXVIILY]

Rravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jmballestra7607]

Musique sublime !!! Interprétation splendide !!! Je préfère néanmoins la version chantée avec orchestre !!!

[@joelweber3462]

Playing a Bechstein.

[@sheilamackay]

My mother also had a Bechstein, but obviously couldn't play like this!

[@EuropeanArtsAcademy]

non piace ad Allevi ? Perchè sà cos'è la musica classica ?

[@ayso78]

@Appassionata90 at least he can fit more jewelry on it :-D

[@minuicch]

@awfulguitarplucker La versione di Allevi l'ho sentita in teatro e fa cacare!!!! Così come fanno cacare tutte le sue letture di pezzi classici. Pensasse a suonare quelle tre o quattro notine dei suoi pezzucci! Quell'individuo ha a che fare con la musica come Bin Laden con un'associazione filantropica!

[@piernicofe2214]

Allevi non è neppure da prendere in considerazione come musicista..al massimo come giullare della corte televisiva

[@mariolongo7369]

Sono d'accordo, Allevi è un bluff. È divertente quando lo imita Bollani😁

[@G10rg10M4]

Ecco qui il perché: watch?v=p2F3Zsp5CdQ

[@mariolongo7369]

Non ci posso credere...due dislike!!!

[@glaucodichio]

Allevi è un mancato pianista di musica classica e cerca di trovare spazio in altro modo. Come si può dargli torto se poi c'è chi lo ascolta ?

[@musikgeni]

no this is terrible.. I like his Saint-Saëns from the 70s
