You are totally orchestral in your transcriptions. A modern-day Liszt.

[@Timpaaa2]

This guy has EVERYTHING a player can wish for and he uses those abilities to absolutely perfection. Softer passages played with deep emotion and a beautiful touch, the faster ones fiercely and with fire. I can't think of anyone that can make a transcription this good and play it this well live. Not even Horowitz or Cziffra. I am gobsmacked. What an incredible human being.

Почитал про его позицию. К ПРАВДЕ она никакого отношения не имеет, скорее ко ЛЖИ, причем глобальной, к которой Вячеслав активно присоединился. Если бы он был на стороне ПРАВДЫ, то гордился бы, что он русский, а не стыдился, потому что Россию одна посмела начать противостояние глобальному ЗЛУ.

THIS TRANSCRIPTION IS ON A VERY HIGH LEVEL EVEN F. LIST CAN'T DO BETTER THE PLAYING IS ALSO FANTASTIC

[@RandoomyDoodly]

[@LucasPedd]

Liszt didnt do any transcription i think, he did a lot of fantasys, reminiscenses, paraphrasis. Those kind of pieces are more liberal than a transcription.

[@wardropper]

@@LucasPedd Actually Liszt did do a fair number of transcriptions. His arrangements of Beethoven Symphonies are reckoned to be very faithful to the originals, and there are also extracts from Verdi and Wagner operas, as well as songs by Schubert and Schumann. He was very generous to other composers, playing his arrangements of their works as a way of advertising them to the public, back in the days just before there was any possibility of recording music. He was very skilled at such transcribing, and of course he would have played these arrangements spectacularly well.

[@piotrekcienciala9943]

this is awesome, he deserves to be more popular!!

[@DanielStipe]

I don't even know what to say. Never have I been so completely convinced by both transcription and playing at the same time. The transcription is stunning; it pushes the piano farther toward having the effect of an orchestra than anything I have ever heard, with just the right amount of fill in all the right places. The added notes always heighten the emotional drama of the composition, and are never there just for show. The playing is, needless to say, superb in every way, completely musical and convincing with rock-solid rhythmic sense and gorgeous long lines. This guy is a super-genius and should be a household name among pianists. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@gerardocoluccini1751]

I love the music of Piotr Ilic Tchaikovsky, his unsurpassed melodies, that only the "Divine" Mozart can equal. I like to define, for this reason, Tchaikovsky "the poet of notes" and he, like a poet, sublimated his existential pain with the exceptional creative talent, giving all humanity masterpieces of Beauty that anyone can appreciate and love. Thanks to Russia, homeland of unparalleled poets, composers and performers. Vyacheslav Gryaznov unites, in this piano transcription of the immortal "Romeo and Juliet overture", technical perfection with the pathos and sensitivity that only a Russian can give to the work of his compatriots, giving us an interpretation of great emotion. Thanks 🧡

A stirring performance! I couldn't take my eyes off his hands as they flew across the keyboard. I can't imagine that it could be outdone.

Where does such talent come from? What do the Russians do that the rest of the world does not? I'm spellbound with every note! Shumann once wrote..."To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist." If Vyacheslav hasn't done this here, I'd like to know who has!

[@davidwatermeyer5421]

@@Quotenwagnerianer I am not so sure. Escapism from what? From life? Music can be a way of coming to see reality with new eyes. That is what I use (or attempt to) use music for. Indeed many composers compose with the very intention of communicating something about life. Of course there is the humdrum stuff churned out to pass away the hours which indeed could be called escapist. Or what do you think? All good things by the way and thanks for engaging.

This young man is a bonafide genius! I listened to this transcription some months ago yet it seems I am hearing it for the first time. He has greatly expanded the meaning and concept of “transcription”. I can honestly say with his level of virtuosity and the unique power of this arrangement I enjoyed this more than the original. It is thoroughly engaging from first to last and sets this piece in an altogether different realm of expression that causes me to appreciate this music as never before. He has plumbed the depths and scaled the heights of this work in every aspect to produce an almost entirely new work. Congratulations sir for such a unique experience of a masterpiece I have loved and admired for decades. Platos’ words come to mind; “For measure and proportion manifest themselves in all areas as beauty and virtue!” Thank you Mr. Gryaznov. pwg

I rarely listen to any pianist without coming away with a list of criticisms. But on this occasion I cannot find a single fault. This performance was undoubtedly among the best I've ever heard. And the transcription itself is remarkable. Immense range of colour and dynamics throughout - just like a real orchestra. In a word, stunning.

The glorious History ofMusic was written again.In lyrics from Gold and purest diamonds. Maybe only Liszt considering the whole humankind in all ages could to create a so perfect transcription from a so complex full orquestral masterpiece from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.The best artist from Russia all time. Poor Pyotr, like the iconic atemporal tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, he also never could love with freedom, express his unlimited passion for Davidov.Instead his tormented suffered soul could only dream about, to experience a romance that due to the hostile prevalent reality from his time he can never live it, experience love, full affection without glacial intolerance of hate and capital absurd punishment by induced death. All this personal drama he condensed in primorous notes and chords of sadness and blood on this unique masterpiece from tragique fantasie of Shakespeare(as well as in his Pathetic final legacy Symphony). What Romeo and Juliet have been deprived of, the equal same brutal, mellancolic anathema was mercilessly inflicted to him. This turns this musical work a seminal one, a most revelatory from all that he created and was.His unbearable, excruciating all life pain and his luminous absolute transcendence and sublimation in Music and Art. Be in full glory and happiness now Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky! And Vyacheslav Gryaznov captured all of this.Magnificent is HIS transcription. All emulated in one atmosphere of reverence and precise fidelity and solidarity to so injusticied Pyotr,AND plenum respect to his détruire vie A definitive masterpiece this superb and so perfect transcription that will be never surpassed.One single piano and one immensity. .But you did it.Period. Great Vyacheslav follow his most glorious destiny - is time to compose! You have all refined talent possible to transform yourself in the greatest living artist from Матушка Россия. To be integrant of sacred phanteon from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Prokoffiev,Rachmaninov forever. The educated humankind awaits with dream and hope and jubilous your personal master creations that will be express your remarkable, noble,amazing soul.

It woul be a immense honor to me you play and record my “Awakening to life” ,my Impromptu no.18 “Essence“ or my Etude de Bravoure “Zirkel”) ARS SEMPER.VITA PLENA.
