F. Liszt - Mephisto Waltz No. 1 (Shishkin)

[@marcvilleneuve1889]

Each time I open a Mephisto KZbin performance by a gifted pianist, there are always these kinds of comments: " the best performance ever". THERE IS NO BEST PERFORMANCE EVER. EACH GREAT INTERPRETATION IS VALUABLE. DIVERSITY IS GREAT!!!

[@Warauwater]

I agree.

[@riomema4191]

Nuh uh🥰

[@Rodolfo78]

This is the best comment ever... 😂

[@globalc3849]

Haha so true. There is no best performance except: Kissin in Prokofiev Etude op 4 no 3. Pompa Baldi Prokofiev Etude op 4 no 1. Kissin Balakirev The Lark and others

[@Macintosh8]

So true

[@ugo957]

Дмитрий, это уму непостижимо, как можно так здорово играть на этом рояле! Дима, твоя интерпретация блестяща, дух романтизма витает рядом с твоей головой и твоими пальцами, он движет твоей душой! Спасибо тебе за ту красоту, что ты умеешь нести людям! Слушать тебя- это восторг души и даже счастье! Мне уже почти 70 лет, но я в восторге от твоей игры. Ты чародей и чары твои прекрасны! Да хранит тебя Бог, дитя радости, красоты и гармонии!❤🎉🙏🙏👍

Потрясающее исполнение ! Ювелирная техника владения инструментом плюс исполнение, эмоциональное и экспресиивное и в итоге - шедевр ! Слушала и ловила себя на мысли, что пианист как будто с другой планеты. Браво !!!👋👋👋👍👍👍

8:15 - 8:37 - that’s exactly how it should be played :) thanks for uploading this! it’s been so long since I’ve listened to this version.

[@ivanaraque]

Most important, it gave him enough time to SCRATCH HIS NOSE at 8:38 (the only part where I can tell him to hold my beer!)

[@fushifushi9441]

I don't mean to be a classical music elitist, and I know you mean well. However, it is quite rude to interpret the composer's ideas so bluntly. It is their music, but each performer plays differently. They all play so well, but there is not, in essence, an 'exact' way to perform! That is disrespectful to the composer.

[@scorpioxrocky]

@@fushifushi9441 I only meant what I said as an opinion, because the way I would interpret is the same way Shishkin interprets it. KZbin is a media platform where we are allowed to give our opinions freely. I do see what you’re saying, nonetheless. If I was in a circle of Liszt savants, I wouldn’t have spoken this way.

[@zach99998]

a gifted performance. I was spoiled by Rubenstein's interpretation and for years shunned the faster tempo of this song. It always felt rushed and even a bit showy. You definitely lose something when playing at the higher tempo, but over those years I've come to appreciate them much more, especially when done so well like in this example.

[@aeroslothy]

Ur a god for reuploading this

[@liszt-cg6fz]

Thanks

[@lllana-yp6qt]

I feel like he’s better at the light parts than the powerful ones, the build ups are lacking so I didn’t feel that explosive emotion usually expressed in this piece by some other pianists it stayed flat. But I loved the light softer parts very beautiful and cleaner than most I’ve heard

[@Xyriak]

8:00

[@ericofelix2005]

Yeah, i think this is the scariest part to be played from the whole score. His speed and accuracy here beyond normal human haha

[@flurven6873]

😐😬😐😬😐😬

[@nedcurtis5111]

Why do they all skip the arpeggio which would be played at about 9:50? I realize that it is optional, and the only pianist whom I have seen play this part is Van Cliburn.

[@impromptube7111]

hii! there are many versions and arrangements of mephisto and that chord that you have mentioned is a cadenza that is one version in specific. There is another video with a cadenza that employed 7th and 9th, it’s so beautiful. Search it!!❤

It's probably a very good performance but it's not really possible to tell when all the dynamics have been flattened out of it. Why anyone thinks that is a good idea defeats me completely. Does anyone have a link to a decent-sounding copy?

[@aisareu]

Do you mean it’s not the same as in the markings, or are you saying there is no change. Because he is changing from piano, fortissimo, and mezzo piano decently consistent . Or when the piece needs to change the dynamics.

[@rich8037]

@@aisareu *He* is, but whoever processed this recording has done their utmost to negate all the changes the player has put in, which seems tome to be rude, at the least.
