Most Beautiful Transcendental Etude by Liszt: No.11 "Harmonies du soir"

[@PeakOfHumor]

Liszt wrote one of best pieces ever...

[@Juusturull-eo6mx]

Liszt wrote many of the best pieces ever tbh...

[@sandeegrey5977]

@@Juusturull-eo6mx The more you listen to his pieces, the more you realize this.

[@katttttt]

No way!! I've been hooked by Trifonov's performance of this etude and was wondering if you would upload it. Damn, thanks Traum!!

[@-core_2691]

Trifonov's also used to be my favorite until I heard Kissin's, you should give it a listen you won't be disappointed.

[@-.a]

definitely listen to kissin, best interp imo

[@TheFlamingPiano]

Not just his most beautiful etude but for me his most beautiful piece. I enjoyed listening to this, you did it justice!

[@teodorb.p.composer]

One of the best and most passionate interpretations of this beautifull piece. Didn't you just finish all transcendentals etudes? You are legend, the GOAT!

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Need #9 to complete the TE set.

[@teodorb.p.composer]

@@Traumfanblueheron Oh, he is so close!

[@philt-one]

The way you've delayed the left hand octave at 7:00 & 7:12 is so satisfying, and leaves a clear canvas for the last build-up before the Più animato section. Something I've never heard before, even in what I'd consider the best recordings known (Kissin, Yunchan Lim, Claudio Arrau ...). Incredible interpretation! Thank you for your commemorable dedication Traum 🙏

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Maestro has incredible techniques but his poetic interpretations are more impressive and moving for me. Genuine artistry expressed from his soul. Wait until you hear his Liszt's Bénédiction de Diue dans la Solitude, simply a transcendental experience.

[@sandeegrey5977]

Liszt teleports you to a magical wonderland with this piece alone. Somewhere ethereal and nostalgic

[@BarnieSnyman]

I simply don't have words to say how incredibly beautifully you've performed this.....

[@BarnieSnyman]

Seriously... this is one of the most beautiful recordings I've ever heard of this piece!!!! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blapask]

Oh my, the poco piu mosso is AMAZING … not to mention entire piece, my first time experiencing.

[@Traumfanblueheron]

For me, that 1:08 of poco piu mosso is truly heart melting. Conveying Maestro's sensitive, delicate, poetic expressive interpretation ability along with his superb technique. Honest, passionate artistry at its finest.

[@joyfulfishman5445]

This piece is emotionally overwhelming, and I mean that in the best way possible! This piece makes me feel as if I've had an incredible triumph or victory in life and as a result I'm overcome with joy, happiness, pride, and enthusiasm. This piece is truly the work of a genius composer and of course TRAUM IS AN INCREDIBLE PIANIST, and this performance is just remarkable. Hopefully we will see some more Traum uploads coming up soon!

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Perfect description!

[@knook.horsey]

Out of all other Liszt's etudes I've listened to, this has to be the most beautiful and emotional one so far. Your interpretation is simply wonderful! 💙

[@spooky600]

The excitement that I felt when I opened KZbin and saw this at the top!!! Thank you Maestro!!!!

[@katttttt]

Yes same!!

@@TraumPiano Last etude left I.e., no.9 I believe. Good luck traum we all know u can do it!

[@CLPianoMusic]

Thank you Traum, for this beautiful performance! 🙏 The distinct r.h. then l.h. melodies at the poco animato are incredibly moving. The hidden voices being highlighted throughout this piece make this recording No. 1 for me. ❤Thank you!!

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Maestro never ceases to amaze me! This is incredibly beautiful.

[@TraumPiano]

THANK YOU CL!!

[@pianissiimo]

One of Liszts masterpieces, and beautifully performed

[@K10-chopinetliszt]

Another upload from Traum! This is my favorite transcendental etude-- thank you so much for sharing your interpretation with us!! It's a very magical performance✨💖~~ Thank you so much for your hard work! Looking forward to hearing your interpretation of Ricordanza, (TE 9). :) Thank you once more! :D Take care, --K10🩵💙

[@Traumfanblueheron]

MAGICAL, indeed!

[@K10-chopinetliszt]

​@@Traumfanblueheron Thanks for agreeing! This is my personal opinion of the section "Molto Animato" - it's like where the protagonist has a conflict against themself. I love how Traum's performances can sometimes portray a story, or give the listener/viewer an image :)

[@Traumfanblueheron]

​@@K10-chopinetliszt All I know is, Maestro's beautiful artistry is soul healing for me. I appreciate him both as an incredible artist and a fine human being.

[@Traumfanblueheron]

@@K10-chopinetliszt The molto animato section is very uplifting for me, I feel like I possess the strength to overcome any obstacles. 😁

[@K10-chopinetliszt]

@Traumfanblueheron I see what you mean by that- in the major key in Molto Animato, I can hear triumph and victory; in the minor-ish key in Molto Animato, it seems like a protagonist is questioning themselves. But thank you for sharing your insight!

[@classicalmusiccanchangethe2757]

Wonderful performance... a very beautifull piece played by a very well prepared pianist. All these ingredients make me feel that I'm listening to Liszt in person.

Probably my favorite transcendental etude. Only ricordanza left to go and the s. 139 set is done! Well done!!!!

[@seanwilliams5953]

Can we please just acknowledge how genius of an idea the voicing on the last three chords was🤯!!

[@Traumfanblueheron]

Interesting, YT wanted to know why I liked your comment! Thank you for acknowledging and appreciating Maestro's beautiful artistry. 👍🙏

[@arvidschu7510]

[@ortholol]

Another Transcendental Etude like it was nothing! Amazing work!

[@SirloucoPiano]

Omg LEDs are so beautiful! As beautiful as this piece. Your performance is amazing Traum! Thank you for uploading it! Only remains the TE9 to complete the set! :)

[@uguslife]

My favourite transendental etude! Your interpretation is really great!

[@Kyujar.png49]

I do think this is quite a beautiful etude played by traum!!! Btw this piece started life in 1837 (early virtuoso days) and revised in 1851 and already this piece shows many impressionistic harmonies of liszt in his future music (e.g Deux Legends e.t.c) and I believe the title itself "Harmonies Du Soir" really captures emotion really well with its harmonies

[@seanwilliams5953]

The excitement i get when traum uploads is insane!

[@chriso203]

Never have I been so excited to get a video notification before. Such a beautiful piece. Thanks for making my day 😊

[@user-ii3kf7xe6k]

My favorite transcendental etude!! Thanks for playing!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I always liked this one the most, from the first time I heard the entire set. The climax ist just breathtaking. By the way this inspired me to try this one myself. I have not played any of the Liszt Etudes yet, I'm mostly convinced that they are out of my capabilities. And since you read everywhere that they get progressively more difficult I was hesitant to even try it, before I saw you play it. The top down view of your hands helped me to find the right fingering for some passages that would have befuddled me. And what can I say, after two readthroughs, I'd say it is very managable. And it's not so difficult like everybody claims. You have to have big hands like Liszt himself, which I do. Then you have to be good at reading this particular key. This is what makes this one difficult. All the double-flats can throw you off easily and make it hard to sight read. And finally you have to be good at jumps in the Molto Animato section. That is the most difficult part that can't be played without learning it by heart. But the rest? Doable with a bit of practice. Maybe I should also try No.12 which I always considered the best of the entire set. But the way it is printed with the small notes makes it hard to read.

[@meiji7591]

It is very moving! so beautiful to listen to! 🎶🥰🙏

[@ldman538]

This one is my favorite Transcendental Etude along with No.12 ! Your performance is amazing and beautiful as always, and I’m enjoying every bit of this ❤

[@pf_k66]

자기 전 밤의선율....ㅠㅠ❤

[@acsaha8304]

I agree. Transcendental Étude No.11 has one of the most beautiful and emotional melodies I have heard, but its difficulty shouldn't be underestimated (from experience). P.S. If I am not mistaken, one étude left before you complete the album. :0

[@happypiano4810]

Yup. The arpeggios are mean, especially at the “un poco animato” towards the beginning, and they don’t sound tough at all.

[@MYPHIL77]

Magnifique interprétation !

My second favorite one from the set. This interpretation is on par with Daniil. I love the addition of sections and the staccato on the end of the arpeggios in the fourth section. The only thing slightly limiting this performance compared to Daniil's is the vst.
