Transcendental Etude No.12, Chasse-neige (Berezovsky)

Berezovsky plays Liszt!

[@robertperry6177]

The humans are the real wonders if the world. We created both the wonders and the ancient wonders. The biggest loss if we suffer mass extinction will be the music and masterpieces like this

thats a little bit grim

@Shostacovid-19 first form of music was voice. people sang. then new methods of making sound were invented. perhaps through really primitive knocking sounds or instruments which utilise breath and the lungs. modern music sparked by pythagoras when he discovered hitting two metal rods together of certain length would produce a satisfying sound: the perfect 5th interval.

По моему очень придирчивому мнению, это лучшее живое выступление из всех, которые я слышал. Зрителям, присутствовавшим на нём, действительно повезло. Запись и качество звука, кстати, очень плохое.

[@RobMetzger12]

Agreed.

[@cameronshapiro700]

Some of berezovskys best work playing some of liszts best. I think this is nearly a definitive performance

[@joanne6300]

1:04-1:07 lol he is tuning the piano so he is checking the sound

[@user-tg7ii4ft4f]

Because a string broke on the 10th etude

Beautiful! I love how Berezovsky plays Chasse-neige! This must be Liszt’s most beautiful piece!

[@musiclover148]

Of all his performances of these etudes at this concert, this seems to be the one most strongly and genuinely felt. Maybe he was relieved that the end was in sight, and mentally relaxed.

[@alis1637]

You’re probably right. Having played this piece and a few others in this suite, this piece is somewhat of a relief because the notes are under the control of the fingertips and you aren’t smashing too many chords

[@RobMetzger12]

Stunning performance.

[@Eugen_969b]

БРАВО!!!!!

[@norahdealmeida5847]

This is the musical piece I like more !!! Beautifully played!

[@smopoo]

This is the greatest rendition, there is no competition.

[@johnnygray234]

This recording is not as musical Trifonov’s, there are too many wrong notes and the phrasing is not played as Liszt instructed.

[@louisehollyhead6807]

I don't agree. This is far more musical than Trifonov's which is frankly boring and his technique isn't up to the job of the Transcendental Studies. Boris is not only technically superior, but musically speaking too. As well as beauty there is raw passion and emotion in Boris's playing that Trifonov just doesn't have. I don't know what you mean about Boris's phrasing being incorrect either. It's faithful to the score.

[@triplem3827]

Berezovskys interpretation is the best but i prefer it over trifonovs only because berezovsky plays the chromatics in the middle of the piece more clearly and quietly, and the overall tone of the piece feels more passionate. Trifonov has the best opening to the piece i feel, and theres a few other spots here and there. its hard to say really

[@james.pianist]

3:31 we do love 'Rainsky'

[@amber40494]

Beresovsky has not only amazing technic but a really good ear. He probably just improvised this after hearing it once.

[@megumi_0]

yes i am convinced this one in particular was an improv. /s

[@da19lila38]

Amazing!!! Bravo Boris!!!

[@andreasandergast6839]

Just Bravo!!!

[@jackcurley1591]

Berezovsky and Kissin have the best recordings of the transcendentals imo

Jack Curley Trifonov?

[@robertperry6177]

Never seen anyone play this piece this well. It haunts me.

[@jackcurley1591]

Gabin Dupuy ochinnikov is a beast. To be honest I’m not a fan of Trifonov’s transcendentals at all... they seem reserved and melancholy in comparison to Berezovsky’s, they feel like they’re missing the fiery passion of Liszt. Not to mention these recordings of Berezovsky are all live!! Just adds to how insanely impressive they are

[@Saturne84]

Ah ! Que j'en ai écouté des versions de chasse neige et la dernière, celle de Trifonov. Bien sûr, toujours aussi brillant. Mais Boris est dans son nuage. Il survole toutes les versions. L'essentiel est dans toutes ces notes qui forment, à mon avis , l'ensemble le plus juste et le plus cohérent. Cependant il n'y a pas que dans chasse neige qu'il excelle. Cette version des 12 études est la plus brillante de toutes. Elle mériterait un grand prix du disque. Boris berezovsky a rejoué depuis quelques études au cours de récitals ou des rappels, mais il n'atteindra plus la perfection de ce récital. Un magnifique pianiste, un grand artiste Russe. P. R.

[@breakbrace7184]

Pour moi la meilleur version de ces 12 études reste celle de Trifonov

[@louisehollyhead6807]

I agree with you. Boris is in a different class from Trifonov. Boris is far better in these works.

Wow ive never seen someone sweat so much

[@Cr4ntz]

You get sweaty when you play all the 12 etudes in a row

[@trp8155]

At this concert, he played all twelve. Nos. 4, 5, 8, and 12 (this one), are considered the hardest. The others aren't by any means easy either.

[@user-ue9ny3wt9j]

Is he wearing a swimming suit?lol

[@BunnyAcee]

That is pure sweat from high voltage lights being shined on him creating heat

[@CanofSoda_]

You'd be sweating that much if you've just played 11 of the transcendental etudes in a row. Heck, like playing 4 - 9 would already have you sweating like that.

[@a9reaper76]

He consecutively finished all 12 pieces, that’s why he looks so tired and sweaty

[@a9reaper76]

He was in deep pain 🙏

[@alis1637]

Lol he’s been sweaty since etude no.2. He put on the swim suit after the 4th piece which was the mazeppa

[@cristiandone5749]

como para no transpirar...

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

My God he is sweating like a pig. You'd think the producers would have the AC turned on halfway through the program, but no, lets just have our pianist cook under the lights like stale chicken tenders at a Chinese carryout!

[@quoiquand2888]

Javascript Kiddie OOF that’s pretty rude and racist, also many reasons go to why he’s sweating a lot, such as he didn’t just play one song, and he could be nervous sweating. Also if the AC is too high, it can make his fingers cold and unable to move so fast.

[@paulackerley1652]

It was performed at Roque d'anthéron which is an open air venue - that's why no aircon.

[@alis1637]

If you watch the whole performance he gets sweaty after the 2nd etude already. And especially after the 4th mazeppa and 10th piece. Man just sweats heaps.

[@louisehollyhead6807]

@@alis1637 it was in the south of France in a very hot summer outside. If you find other performances of the full 12 he doesn't normally sweat this much even with a suit jacket on!

[@MrLrnz]

Guys it is too fast isn't it..

[@alexanderedlund8876]

Its in my opinion an incredible climax with this speed. Maybe some stormy chromatic scales are lost but its just a transcendental rendition. He does however miss a few important notes because of it.

[@Google-Experts]

War Crimes: This pianist has found the courage to declare Putin's lies to be true. If this had happened to me. I would swear not to touch a piano key again until Putin is out of office. He should now also have the courage to tell the truth: That Russia is waging an aggressive war of invasion against Ukraine, with many civilians losing their lives at the hands of the Russian army.
