Dora Deliyska plays Norma, Bellini/Liszt

[@Im.Lisztomania]

I find it impossible to find myself under the cascade of emotions born of this eternal music and not be hopelessly drenched and beatified by them. It is simply the best Norma fantasy i’ve ever heard, full of subtlety, deep understanding, artistry and originality. Thank you, Dora!

[@WarinPartita6]

Wonderful​ ❤😂🎉❤

[@therealransu]

This is the best interpretation of the Norma Fantasy. It's nothing compared to the others. It's consistent and the amount of emotion put into it is just right. This pianist deserves more fame!!!

[@gergelykiss]

Beautiful interpretation! The Norma fantasy is one of those pieces which demonstrates that "operatic paraphrases" can be truly deep and powerful pieces of music. Genious material from Bellini, magical reimagining by Liszt. Really glad that you got to play it in Liszt's village of birth. Must have been a unique experience.

[@doradeli]

I still remember it,as if it was yesterday. Raiding is a very special place and the nature around is peaceful and very beautiful!

[@ClassicalJams]

Absolutely outstanding! I loved it! You are remarkably skilled and play with great passion! ~Jackie

[@ЛюбомирСтоянов-э9щ]

An excellent performance! Thank you for the intellectual feast!

[@waterkingdavid]

This piece evokes love in me. The last part ( 17:04 onwards ) is immensely inspiring and profoundly powerful. Its like saying nothing can stop us now. Liszt was speaking to the future and sending injections of hope into us. Wherever you are Liszt thank you from the bottom of my heart. And thank you Dora for bringing this alive!

[@Ultrazone91]

Yes, Liszt was a genius but don't forget that here is Bellini's music!

[@grandbleutrev]

How can one lovely little lady produce such a blissful sound! I've been totally captivated and I would so love to see Dora playing live! I doubt I ever will but this was pure bliss 🥰

[@gggmarquez5]

Finally, someone who plays this piece with artistry. Not taking away or insulting some of the amazing performers/professionals on KZbin. Most of them who play this piece race through it. I get that they seek to impress with their abilities and technical mastery but is sometimes it takes away from the composition and never give a chance develop a relationship between the listener and performer. Dora, IMHO, brings a high skill level without beating the crap out of the piano and the composition allowing the listener to appreciate her interpretation while providing a more gratifying understanding of the contributions of the one of a kind Franz Liszt

[@waterkingdavid]

Couldn't agree more.

[@danieleferrari8948]

The most interesting, lyric and passionate interpretation ever!

[@AlainChomik]

Very nice piece, very nice playing ! Bravo Dora. Best wishes, Alain

[@annagatt7684]

My favourite!! The perfect woman pianist!!! Have been listening to your music for a long while!! You are also stunningly beautiful!!! Happy New Year 2019!!!

[@michaelcweissman]

Dear Dora, as usual, an extraordinary playing! Bravo!

[@StevenPJames-fl1un]

Fantastic job! This piece is incredibly difficult and tiring to play, and I appreciate the rich sound of the Bosendorfer and the time taken throughout that really lends such a depth to the work and the opera behind it. I hope to add this piece to my repertoire one day, but until then, I will enjoy listening to you play ...

[@doradeli]

thank you!

[@alessandrociarrocchi7246]

Mi piaci moltissimo come suoni. Bravissima!!! SALUTI.

[@brucebuckley8483]

Fantastic!

[@TheRonnos]

What I love about this performance is that It tells a story. It communicates, & it sings.. Its wonderfull musically played on an amazing instrument. A Big Bosendorfer with that amazing bass tunes.... Re Our Dutch living Wibi Soerjadi legend and a winner of the 2th International Franz Liszt concours at Vredenburg, Utrecht, was for many years a great promoter of his Bosendorfer. He took his instrument with him to concerts as Horowitz did with his own special tuned Steinway.

[@rationalistx]

Magnificent playing. Dora Deliyska is at one with the keyboard.

[@ClassicalCybernaut]

Could be this the most beautiful piano music ever written?

[@lorenzomedelpiano]

Expressive ... Wonderful ! !

[@andrewashdown3541]

Stunning!

[@SylvainGuinet]

excellent playing, bravo Dora

[@Alfredocx1]

Hermoso, bello... sin palabras..

[@lucianoiovino304]

Wonderful Dora

[@pacongora]

BRAVO!!!!

[@radoslavmladenov]

A very complex and difficult piece by Liszt. The technical fireworks are everywhere. Great job for the performer!

[@Shining3737]

The phrasing😳😳 wonderful performance!!

[@AlexanderArsov]

Fine performance of a great work usually rushed and butchered. Not here, I'm happy to say. Thank you, Dora.

[@marcop7455]

che bello, Signora

Brava !

[@internetuser6370]

Commosso è gìa was wonderful, Dora.

[@scottyboyproductions]

Any recommendations for practicing the fast arpeggio section?

[@pramaticnet]

Piano là một tôn giáo tuyệt vời nhất của nhân loại. Và Dora là nhà truyền giáo thật đáng yêu. Nhưng rất tiếc là cô chưa một lần đến Việt Nam. Hy vong gặp cô tại thành phố Hoàng gia.

[@anthoniam8473]

Love the way she played. So much passion, exactly as Liszt intented. I hate people who rush Liszt's music, they ruin it. I have one question though. In some places, it seems like she's struggling with the piece. Am I wrong?

[@Ultrazone91]

Do you play the piano? It seems that you don't. This piece is hell to play so yes, she's struggling. Secondly, you can understand that she's struggling by the fact that she plays at a considerably slower tempo in many sections of the piece. But in the end it's still a very nice performance.

[@dirkhoekstra727]

I prefer to think that she is just deliberately playing it slower in certain section, because that is just her interpretation. I think it is an awesome interpretation. It is almost as if she is analysing each note, trying to absorb and savour the taste.

Bösendorfer has such a wonderful sound + amazing perfomance Where can I buy this in lossless format?

[@Snafuski]

Liszt was really a show-off.... thank goodness... This is such a great fantasy on that gorgeous opera.

[@rht100]

This was painful to watch and listen to. Clearly not what Liszt had intended for this piece.

[@waterkingdavid]

Wonderful to have people like you around to show us the way. Perhaps you can post us your description with demonstrated examples of how it should be played! Oh I see you're too busy posting inane comments on KZbin!

[@guigui9344]

That's a hard pièce to play! But it requires more energy. A bit sloppy.

[@James_Bowie]

We keenly await the video of your performance of this piece. Do post a link here.

[@paulhalpin6301]

"Hard?" This is the most difficult piece of piano music ever written! Believe me- I've tried it* And "sloppy?" I DON'T think so! What the hell do YOU know bout playing in recital? I've done it all my life so take it from a pro... THIS is EXEMPLARY piano playing. Crawl back under ur bridge- you ignorant TROLL 👿😡

I really did not like this interpretation.
