Even liszt and thalberg would be awed by that transcription.

Extremely Wonderful Maestro, May God bless you. Very inspired by your WONDERFUL VIRTUOSITY.

Cyprien, my dear friend, you are truly the Magician of the keyboard. This latest post is astonishing! I am honoured to know you. Warm regards. Victor

Bravo! Pooh, this is so difficult! Brassin invented a highly original buoyancy technique which can easily strain the wrist but has an amazingly "elastic" effect. Very hard to remember the positions too! You can see the utter concentration of K. Not a single second for "emoting"....

[@wittekjmusic]

Excellent.

Peccato che un artista così grande sia assente nei cartelloni italiani!

what is this Katsaris struggling? *_unacceptable asian noises_* *impossible*

[@JG_1998]

Ride of the Valkyries is notoriously difficult to replicate on the piano. All transcriptions that are even remotely faithful to Wagner's orchestration are pretty much unplayable. I'm amazed Katsaris had the balls to play this live, although he also used to play Liszt/Beethoven no. 9 live so maybe I shouldn't be that surprised.

@@JG_1998 Katsaris NEVER played the Ninth in concert only the Eroica and Pastoral Symphonies.

[@JG_1998]

@@frankromano9064 really? that's interesting to know. I thought I read somewhere online that he used to play them all.

@@JG_1998 No ONLY #3 and#6. Eroica 74X took years off his life.
