F. Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 - Erzsébet Gódor (cimbalom)

[@joerandom9489]

No matter who took this lady's piano apart and stole the keyboard away ,she still did an excellent job with just two tiny sticks.

[@fineagro9017]

A cimbalom has no keyboard. :)

I was asked to help her set up in the church next to my highschool where she played. I didn’t have the luck to hear her play, I had some place to go while she was playing and nearly broke my back trying to carry that very cimbalom because the other dude I carried it with was an idiot. Funny that youtube now decided that I should hear her anyway and recommended the video

I don't think the audience understands what they just witnessed. Bravo to the Master. Captivating!

[@Tomasmoravia]

Right, this must be so hard to master it is amazing.

[@StopFear]

Why do you think they don’t understand?

@@StopFear MopUp, by dismissing the audience's understanding, seeks to assert his own. Classic music gatekeeping bullshit.

[@richardgrimes8945]

@@DaveDexterMusic DaveDickster - your obliteration of the responder's proper name is evidence of your own concerns of inferiority. You are the bullshit in this equation. Cimbalom performance beyond the standard Romani presence is a new offering. Stand down...and respect the listener's experience.

Piano? I love this played on the piano- it’s hard to play!❤

I am sure that Liszt is smiling, you are fantastic👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍😍

[@soundaddiktion2006]

I love how you can put in so much more dynamic than you could ever achieve with a piano.

[@johnbamouk8002]

unbelivable cause it s like playing the hungarian rhapsody on piano.with just two fingers..amazing couldnt imagine that would be possible..great job..

[@colnel1291]

In a world where there are less and less people who play cimbalom (sorry I don't know it's english name), this video is pure gold. Very nice playing indeed. Just breathtaking.

[@genli5603]

It doesn't have an English name, but it's in the hammered dulcimer family.

[@Harrydewulf]

It's called a cimbalom in English, but traditionally was often called the "gypsy piano." I met some French Tsiganes who still call it that.

[@richardgrimes8945]

It is called concert cimbalom if it is being played in a non-Rákóczi style - and a cimbalom (or concert cimbalom if preferred) if in that dynamic style of performance.

[@WouterTukker]

Fabulous, it reminds me of the Tom & Jerry version, deliciously chaotic but with closed eyes and imagining the cartoon I find it most enjoyable 😀 Without offence: this is an impressive performance of a hideously difficult piece, it´s indeed like playing "The Liszt" with only 2 fingers: CHAPEAU to you Elisabeth !!!

[@alexandrabeach1185]

It amuses me some of the comments about her "making mistakes," etc. Obviously these people aren't as familiar with the original piece as they fancy themselves--the DISSONANCE you're hearing is a part of the piece and serves an artistic purpose, which she has faithfully followed. That said... wonderful performance! Loved hearing one of my favorite pieces on one of my favorite instruments.

[@RobinLSL]

+Alexandra Lepsy Oh not at all. There's a few mistakes which are not the grace-note half-tones written in the original. I don't think they matter at all, but thinking that there's no mistakes is delusional.

[@TheChaNar]

You are obviously an informed and knowledgeable aficionado of music, if not a trained musician, and your observations are accurate. Dissonance is a western phenomenon which was the results of the introduction of the tempered scale in western music (13th to 14th.century) and does not exist in other musical systems which have microtonal characteristics. Many western composers incorporated such microtonal elements in their works, especially those of eastern European origins, but this is very often misinterpreted (in the west) as sour notes or dissonance. The eastern auditory system easily reconciles these notes as part of the musical scales to which they are attuned.

Alexandra Beach, maybe its the mode they used. I think this the Gyspsy scale. not sure

[@veronikavartanova4044]

This is mind blowing. I love the sound, the performance, and let's just admire every single artistic choice made by the author of this 'translation' to another instrument. Fantastic.

Excellent observations, and right on the money!

[@torgenxblazterzoid]

Bravo - I think it's wonderful that in an age where we have all of the more modern instruments, and music technology (synthesisers, computers etc) that somebody still dedicates themselves to properly playing a traditional instrument as you have done.

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

"Properly". She stunk up the joint. Embarrassing performance.

[@SGherghina]

*****: finally someone who understands music. there are at least a hundred better cimbalom players only in Hungary, not to count Romania. I honestly can't explain all these positive comments. Probably this is their first time listening to this masterpiece.

[@fabiopalma4429]

Sebastian Gherghina People like you disgust me. You don't care about music and artists, and it's constant evolution due to, also, social context. You just care about your conception of music

@@SGherghina I’m not a musician but this piece brought me joy. Isn’t that the point of music?

[@Placid794]

Kudos!! She is really fluent on the cimbolem..

[@arsantiqua8741]

This sounds very similar to early fortepiano models. I wonder if Cristoforti had a hammered dulcimer in mind when thinking of the mechanism, maybe a saletio could've inspired him.

[@SigP229R]

This is one of my favorite pieces of music and this is the first time ever I heard it on this particular instrument. Just FANTASTIC! How can this get 38 Thumbs down?

Because people are idiots. Not only is it a wonderful piece of music, but it’s being played by a Hungarian who can actually feel the piece better than all the negative people

One of my favorite pieces of music very well done. And on an instrument that is not commonly used. She is indeed a master!

[@andreashoppe1969]

Wow great. I was introduced to this wonderful instrument through it's appearance in the soundtrack for The Ipcress File. Amazing instrument and nicely performed. It is already hard to play that on the piano (for me) and I got 10 fingers to use, and she is as fast with only two "mallets". That's fantastic in my opinion.

Wonder if Liszt had the cymbalom in mind when he wrote his Rhapsody. The two seem made for each other.

[@harveygerman989]

marc roland I thinkhe did, he was a massive promoter of Hungarian music and even dressed the part when he was performing.

[@ashleysvoboda8331]

It's an interesting thought, but probably not since this piece was composed in 1847, and the cimbalom wasn't invented until 1870, 16 years before Liszt's death. I do agree, though! They do seem like they were made for each other.
