Liszt/Busoni: Fantasia and Fugue on the Chorale 'Ad nos, ad salutarem undam' (Reed Tetzloff)

[@miketracy7578]

Bach, Liszt and Busoni would love your playing. What a great piece and so rarely played today. Thank you.

[@eriksatieofficiel]

What about Meyerbeer?

@@eriksatieofficiel HIM TOO....!!!! (although... I've never seen the opera... the libretto is FABULOUS...!!!)

[@Liszthesis]

Busoni's arrangement for solo piano is nearly perfect! He excellently demonstrated Liszt's original ideas in the 4 hands version. However Busoni actually omitted some important parts tho. Nice video anyway!

[@coreyjamontsmith917]

Felicitations! This is simply wonderful.

[@Highinsight7]

IN EVERY way... (and I didn't think it would work... and he proved me 100% WRONG!) his playing is so imaginative and his concepts are so thought through.... very impressive... !!!

[@Alias-Steff]

What a monster!!!

[@danielzaytsev820]

21:18, this is so amazing, geniusly written. The same passage but at 21:22 the harmony reminds me of Rachmaninoff's harmonic language, in his first sonata in particular.

[@eriksatieofficiel]

Insane. I already loved the 4-hand piano version, but this transcription by Busoni is quite a work. Thanks for sharing your awesome recording of it.

[@hennadiidemianchuk]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@MusicalSeriesChannel]

Thank you for sharing this video. I really enjoyed this piece on the piano.

[@Highinsight7]

I play this on the organ... it works very well on the piano... and I didn't think it would... you use the pedal in a very grand way as to capture the effects of a LARGE room... BUT without EVER loosing clarity!!!! which MOST descent pipe organ reside in... FANTASTIC performance... (which I can't say about any performance of the piano B minor Sonata on organ... )

[@Im____ltm]

Beautiful recording. Such a rich and powerful sound you produce! I was hooked from the very first note!

[@logica10]

Wow! Great finale! This version, IMHO, tries to summarize, in the last chord, all the emotion and overpowering finale of the organ counterpart. And think it fulfills this, big way. The bass notes are impressive, would be interesting to find out if this rendition was played on a Boesendorfer piano, with black keys, which can play C0 notes (16 Hz).

A melhor execução desta obra que já ouvi, de longe. Muito obrigado por compartilhar e parabéns pela execução! Está disponível no Spotify?

[@user-fu7zf4ck9z]

To think Liszt played this in 40 minutes and every plays it in 30 nowadays is astonishing

Never been a fan of Busoni transcriptions. Never heard one that I’ve liked. Always over the top and sound horribly messy. Why take a monumental work like the Ad nos ad salutarem undam and try to make it sound even more impressive?? …certainly doesn’t sound as nearly as impressive on the piano. On a full organ with 32ft reeds is what you want to hear

[@harlanpiano1279]

Liszt himself disagreed, as he wrote a version for 4 hands, and there is also an account of him performing it as a solo piano piece in the 1860s.

[@edwardwilliamson1863]

@@harlanpiano1279 He also performed it on the great Cavaille-Coll organ at St. Sulpice. I just watched Daniel Roth play it on that Cavaille-Coll earlier today. It was grand and with such grandeur and power. Now, I get to hear it here for the piano, and it sounds absolutely beautiful and majestic. Tetzloff has such a brilliant technique. I am just an awe of his talent.
