hi everyone, thanks so much for the 1k likes 🥰, i've never expected it, (honestly) i just wanted to say a few things: first of all, please check out my other videos on the channel, as well as the both CDs. i've recorded a lot of very different stuff and this is just a tiny glimpse of my output. and the second thing, please consider buying a CD or supporting me in any other way available (the bandcamp link / donate button is in the channel info). i still ain't got my DG contract and right now I'm broke asf as every true artist (no joke, i literally can't buy myself food at the moment) thanks again!

Allow me to tell you something and I also apologize. You play too high and your back will suffer when you are old: Also ask someone you trust maybe. For the rest, since you are young, you will change your mind a thousand times.

This is the most interesting rendition and performance of Liszt's Mazeppa I have ever heard. I'm caught off guard. You're a very hardworking young man.

0:05 one of the rare pianist to really do it ad libitum really innovative interpretation on all of the piece even if everything is not at my personal taste you play with passion and that is what matters you really got the liszt spirit and this is refreshing

[@speedyx3493]

Yeah, I honestly hate the fact that ad-lib and improvisation in general have died out in the classical word. It was so important back in the day and now you pretty much don't see it at all. I'm not saying nobody cares about it anymore but it's rare to see nowadays

[@PetitBlackRose]

@@speedyx3493 we should bring back that ad-lib and improvisations!

[@Alessandro_da_Rimini]

1 point to Griffindor for the courage demonstrated standing in front of the black beast.

[@TheExarion]

As much as I want to dislike this performance (I don't think the musicality achieved warrants this much physical showiness), I really really admire the confidence to completely throw yourself into the piece and make it your own. Also, not enough people experiment with their own physicality to bring new sounds/colors/expressions out of the piano. Many professionals will say "If your technique is good enough, you don't need to move from the bench", but it's not like many people have tried to prove that wrong. I'm happy this performance exists even if I may not agree with the musical outcome.

[@rationalthinker-2024]

very interesting how the young generation of Pianists are also entertainers with their performances like Yuja, Trifonov, Ling Ling, Buniatishvili, etc. The old generation of pianists like Horowitz, Argerich, Michelangeli, Rubinstein, Pires, etc, were/are impassible in their playing but yet able to communicate passion and emotions.

[@Alix777.]

M.Bouzine is not Buniatishvili or Lang Lang...He's an amazing artist and he's real. After a few minutes you know he's not there to please an audience, or showing-off, or being "an entertainer". He's here to make music with a true ARTISTIC VISION, unlike many others. His repertoire is very large and his programms are truely unique. To see him live is probably the best concert experience of my life, (I saw Pires, Badura Skoda, Sokolov...) he plays with such intelligence but so lively at the same time. His playing is radical and uncompromising. He's absolutely captivating, fascinating... He's one of the greatest young pianist of his generation.

[@rationalthinker-2024]

@@Alix777. mine was not a criticism but just an observation. It seems that young pianists are not composed like the old generation ones….

[@Alix777.]

@@rationalthinker-2024 Horowitz not an entertainer ? Come on...Liszt, Paderewsky, Horowitz and many others were very excentric. Nothing to do with old or new generation. Today it's worse because some of them are more into business than into music

[@rationalthinker-2024]

@@Alix777. Horowitz was always focused on his playing no facial expression, no movement around the piano. He was the same person who said in an interview that he could have never been that type of pianist who does facial expressions and contortions around the piano. Everybody is different of course. Unfortunately from my point of view I can't really focus on the playing when I see too much movement around the piano. One day I went live to a Trifonov performance and it was so distracting he was jumping (literally) in the seat all the time 😂

[@MathieuPrevot]

There are artists in the new generations also. I think it's just the social media factor kind of promoting excentricity on stage with sexy dresses and weird grins.

A touch of shomanship is perfect when it is consistent with the music. In this performance I may infere that an arcane ritual let F. Liszt's soul use this pianist's body to play his Mazeppa once again. Scary but very Romantic.

Your technique is awesome, i think you kind of overdid it in expressiveness as i do sometimes (rit, acc, extra notes, adding removing stacato etch) XD. Still you have some really good elements in your playing, which i enjoyed. For example the slow second part (p-pp), which you played pretty amazingly around 2:06 you know. I am also young, and i do stuff like this often (trying to control it somewhat, as i am getting older). Anyway, it was fun overall and i was happy to listen to it. Your dynamics are great!
