LAZAR BERMAN plays LISZT Spanish Rhapsody (1964)

STUDIO RECORDING 1964 THIS VERSION NEVER ON CD

[@giovannirivoira5496]

Un gigante della tastiera,una tecnica,una potenza,una sonorità uniche,l'ideale interprete di questa difficilissima composizione di Liszt. Grazie per la rarita'!

[@stevehendrix9625]

I bought this recording on vinyl back in the mid-70s along with the 12 Transcendental Etudes and the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 3. All the performances are unequalled I think. The style of his playing, the panache and, of course, the thunderous power are unique.

[@aalb1970]

Berman's Liszt recordings are legendary.

[@TheRonnos]

"Here comes The King... Bow for him!" - the storyline of Liszt in this majestic intro....

[@ursrieger1053]

For me, this is the best ever recording of this piece!

[@iianneill6013]

This is absolutely stunning! There are so many things to love about this performance, not least is the command of orchestral tonalities.

[@blueocean1649]

This is Berman. Wonderful !

[@jassonsw]

Fabulous performance.

[@cynic150]

Astonishing! And totally convincing musically. Bravo!

[@massimiliano-oronzo]

Memorabile Berman.

[@ijustretired]

This the the most authoritative recording of the work and having had the priviledge of hearing three times play live was a complete pleasure and a highlight in my life

[@user-gh4nw8fg8w]

Bravissimo!!!!!

[@charlottewhyte9804]

best version of all yea

[@camillebouchard6436]

j'adore ce pianiste.

[@heinoviik]

Genial performance! Energetic and precise.

[@adalbertopiazzolata4905]

Absolutely unbelievable performance! One of the 1-2 best ever (together with Gilels's).

[@vaxx2007]

the BEST ever , since the recording of Rachmaninoff hasn't yet been found

[@ianmoore5502]

The attack on his forte is some of the most pleasing forte I've ever heard

[@leestamm3187]

Superb.

[@kurtmorris454]

I think theres only one man who could've topped this performance and that would have been Liszt himself.

[@glujim]

love it !!

[@norbertovaldman2469]

Maravilloso. Bravo!!!

[@alecwilliams7111]

This is both classical music and 19th century pop. Liszt was the Elvis of his era.

Lazar Berman fue un extraordinario pianista e inigualable por su talento de ejecución de la música de Franz Liszt. Igualmente, interpreta maravillosa y fenomenalmente los Estudios Trascendentales del mismo compositor húngaro. Dios lo tenga en paz!

[@pianostream8312]

This is great piano playing and music making, of course. But don´t forget its a studio recording: That means you can play at full risk because you can replay the piece or parts of it numerous times. The real risk is live playing, and there one must mention the Gilels concert version: It is musically fantastic, but there is so much energy and drive piled up towards the end (more than with Berman) that he makes too many mistakes for his pianistic level - in the studio he`d redone it. Otherwise it would have been the ultimate version of this piece.

[@davyroger3773]

The ultimate version imo has to be Eliso Virsaladze's 1980 version

[@FatSwede]

On this form? No-one can come close, to the elemental fury and passion, the largely preserved precision of the playing, and the ownership of the rhythm and timings of the Spanish sections. Astounding, exciting and makes this piece sound vastly better than it is. Rarely performed live in my experience - too hard, maybe?

[@cziffrathegreat666]

cziffra performed it in many live recitals though

10:17...

3:48 Does anyone else hear that? It sounds like something very large and loud was zooming past the microphone. Or perhaps there was some sort of Cello accompaniment? It just sounds strange is all.

[@jasonng0211]

Just a ghuost😂

[@tomlin1312]

錄音嫌近了一點,而且快慢對比比較明顯,有些地方感覺很精彩 ! 也想知道所描寫的西班牙女舞者(?)的來歷😅

Cziffra in Liszt Rhapsodies is on his own level and no one ever was even close.

[@Sloimer]

Whos this Sam Hyde

[@SELMER1947]

Good but in Liszt Rhapsodies, Cziffra is by far the greatest ever

[@adalbertopiazzolata4905]

What???????? Cziffra in the best case could just hope to turn the music sheets for Berman, if anything. Berman is immensely superior to anything Cziffra could have hoped for

[@aalb1970]

No!

[@frankromano9064]

@@adalbertopiazzolata4905 Congrats imbecile for the most moronic comment of the month!!

[@Wosudhehqaxb9169]

I can understand that point, since Cziffra was taught by a student of Liszt (a shame I can't remember the name), so he would have the flair and technique in the bag.. But in the case of raw, unpalpable power, Berman is the man

[@frankromano9064]

@@Wosudhehqaxb9169 Thoman was the Liszt student, I love Berman heard him many times in NYC, but Cziffra is in a class by himself.
