I read in a musical album of Liszt years ago that Henselt wasn't able to play this piece towards the end. It's a crazy challenging piece, but also a beautiful work as well. Amazing performance, and I love the pianist's own cadenza from 15:49 as well.

Оказывается Лист совсем неординарный композитор,что только не услышишь в его произведениях и все очень ярко ,возвышенно, страстно,темпераментно, про виртуозность ,вообще молчу. Как он мог рассчитывать, что это могут играть другие или в то время ,когда он писал это под ,каким либо впечатлением или событием в жизни, что имело на него ,определённое воздействие,он возможно даже не думал о том, что кому то,захочется играть его шедевры! На мой взгляд очень сложно. Браво 👏 Красота.

This is a rather uneven performance. Parts of it are very good but then there are rough edges that prevent me from giving it a 5/5. If this was done in studio, I don’t know why he didn’t fix the mistake in the strepitoso part of the second page and the octaves right before the final section. Also I didn’t like how he used the sostenuto pedal for the ripple of ‘quasi arpa’ chords. It sounded too blunt and cold like he just wanted to get them out of the way. I do like his use of the damper pedal for the ‘rolling drums’ of Andante quasi Marcia funebre because the echo has an eerie effect that is quite compelling. And measures 60-71 and 252-263 are crisp and clean with little to no pedal. (I am learning the piece now and have yet to achieve this.) Taken as a whole, this isn’t a bad performance but for me, the gold medal goes to Giuseppe Andaloro because while his playing is bright, clear and vibrant, he also takes his time with the Andante section to give it time to breathe so it can serve as a foil for the more boisterous sections.

Can't you just appreciate and enjoy how much the pianist was able to accomplish with this music? He is a human being, and not a machine just like you and I. He is an artist, and there are so many amazing elements to his interpretation. Why focus on the negative?

I'm unaware as to what you're implying; if you're trying to indicate that it's 'gross' as in 'disgusting', then shame on you. However, if you are trying to convey that it is 'gross' as in 'grand', then I wholeheartedly agree and you have excellent musical taste.

11:20 this is wrong. The bass notes are to be played without the sustain pedal. The upper register is sustained by careful use of the center pedal, which Liszt himself designed specifically to realize such passages on the piano.

Your idea of using the middle pedal in this section would indeed be clever and effective, but it wouldn't have been Liszt's...because he didn't have the middle pedal available to him in 1850.

@@SGregW Wrong. The sostenuto pedal was invented by Bosselot in 1843.
I like this so much more than the Sonata in B Minor. I find the Sonata in B minor to be incredibly boring compared to this piece. There's just something about the Sonata in B Minor that is very offputting to me. I really don't like listening to it.

@user-fu7zf4ck9z Жыл бұрын
Interesting take. I think the Sonata features more unpleasant (but genius) themes and is probably understood better as a “Faust Sonata“ like the Faust Symphony, similar to how there is a Dante Symphony and a Dante Sonata. The Grosses Konzertsolo might have been intended to be less programmatic than the later Sonata, although I am not sure if that makes it more accessible. Both pieces are brilliant and I definitely prefer the length of the Solo. In my opinion, the Solo should have been orchestrated and reworked into a “4 movements in 1” Piano Concerto to properly separate it from the Sonata
