Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody n.2 with "Dies Irae" Cadenza by Paolo Marzocchi

[@rodolfo2529]

The cadenza is mad, dark and misterious, I loved it! First time I listen to you playing, what a great start. Thank you for sharing your talent. Best wishes from a new fan in Brasil. Grazie!

[@trillice87]

thanks... the Cadenza is exactly as you wrote... a little piece about madness!

[@zackadam2598]

aww man, this cadenza is everything Liszt would have loved. Unexpected, passionate, deep, technically abusive. And it gives homage to his dear friend, Chopin, with respect to the Etude-like runs in the early-middle of the cadenza. FUCKING FANTASTIC!

[@madsplougj]

this is possibly one of the best performances of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 I've ever heard

[@MichaelKaykov]

Incredible playing! The cadenza is breathtaking too!!!!

[@jonstewart464]

Thanks so much for this music. Mind-blowing cadenza, love it!

[@trillice87]

thanks!

Maledizione, Paolo non riesce a farmi riposare come dovrei. Era così virtuosamente semplice il mondo della musica classica. Ed ecco arrivare Mr. Marzocchi che mi fornisce le note per ascoltare questo. Al diavolo, ti ringrazio!

[@trillice87]

tutti i mondi virtuosamente semplici nascondono un ingranaggio diabolico....

[@a-lexnuan9933]

Verissimo, così come la genialità è l`energia che muove tali ingranaggi. È così a mio modo di vedere, che nascono i "classici". C`è molta energia all`opera qui. Per me è nato un nuovo classico.

[@anasroumeih3605]

one of the best performances on youtube with an amazing cadenza

[@andywright8803]

Monstrous musicality, especially that cadenza

[@pierrefalvo5509]

Oserei dire, una delle migliori interpertazioni di questa rapsodia

[@nevillejacobs6687]

Truly superb. Listening to one after another, so many so well done, this is my number one favorite. Who can say why? Secret: The most like the way my Dad played it. So excellent, regardless of personal choice.

[@christianvennemann9008]

Brought here by thenameisgsarci's newest video! Awesome performance and such an incredibly unique cadenza (it's my favorite out of the four you've composed)! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Splendid! By far my favorite performance! Many thanks for sharing.

[@trillice87]

thanks!!

[@MatteoBiagiotti]

Ho ascoltato attentamente più di una decina di interpretazioni di questo pezzo e la tua è quella che preferisco senz'altro. Non capisco proprio la scarsa popolarità di questa magnifica poesia

[@trillice87]

Grazie!

[@federicobolognesi]

Poco da dire. un capolavoro della madonna. da ascoltare e riascoltare fino a star male. pezzo difficile, di quelli che fan male le mani a suonarli.

[@Ilmonarchico]

Da standing ovation! Il massimo che potevo aspettarmi da questa traccia! Stupenda interpretazione, emozionante e coinvolgente. Meriti il primo premio internazionale di pianoforte. Impeccabile, magnifico. Sei un grande pianista!

[@AnatoArchives]

I certainly find some inspiration from other Liszt pieces like Totentanz! Very nice well done!

[@Zoinhuu1]

Paolo, im brazilian and i appreciated this performance so much. Its a shame that most people in my country don't like this. Congratulations for your perfect job. keep doing it! thank you

[@paolomarzocchi]

thanks, i hope to come soon in your big country to perform it!

[@riccardosabatini353]

No words...start with Liszt to get to an HyperLiszt cadenza! He's clearly possessed by the spirit of the hungarian... ;-)

👏👏👏

[@eugabgomes]

Paolo, where can I see your schedule to go to one of your concerts? Are you by any chance performing in Dublin?

[@paolomarzocchi]

thansk Gabriel, at the moment (unfortunately) I have no plans to come to Dublin. Hope to find a new agent for Ireland/UK soon...!

[@eugabgomes]

Me too! Thanks for the answerBy the way, I am looking forward for you to record in HD your other version of Hungarian Rhapsody that you recorded in Lugo, in 2010! That cadenza is my favorite version and I am eager to have a HD audio :)

[@gergelykiss]

Maestro Marzocchi! Your "cadenza" is a magnificent composition on its own right! Fantastic imagination and incredible skill both in terms of technique and composition. Do you perform it independently from the Liszt Rhapsody, as well? Or only as a cadenza? Thank you for your music!

[@trillice87]

Dear Gergely, thank you very much! The cadenza is part of a collection of four cadenzas, that i entitled "Four variations in "cadenza form" on the second Hungarian Rhapsody". I never performed them independently from the "theme", but maybe it should be possible..! www.paolomarzocchi.it/composizioni/quattro-variazioni-in-forma-di-cadenza-sulla-seconda-rapsodia-ungherese-di-liszt/

[@gergelykiss]

Wow, that's very exciting - there are four more of them! It is only one opinion, but I think they would make an artistically (and of course thematically) coherent set for performance. They are also a great tribute to Liszt! Combining Dies Irae and themes from the 2nd Rhapsody is such a novel idea - but somehow you make it work perfectly! Also, I just listened to your Albanian folk songs - truly amazing pieces as well! I hope you will keep on composing folk-based piano pieces! (The Balkans is such a rich source of material.) Again, all I can say is: thank you for your music! All the best!

[@trillice87]

True! The story is exactly an idea suitable for a novel... How could I think to combine the "dies irae" with the rhapsody? That's because about 17 years ago i was involved into a madness episode (real madness, my homeowner got crazy(, and since then the piece was intimately connected with madness.. but I cannot write it here...!

[@mochdrew3364]

An interesting interpretation..

[@Ayumu7]

The saddest part is that no one applauded afterwards

[@JoshuaAalampour]

mad. i love it

[@LanziBen]

11:14 Totentanz????

[@trillice87]

Yes, the gregorian theme "Dies Irae" is the same used by Liszt in Totentanz... but also by Berlioz in Symphonie Fantastique, by Rachmaninov in the Paganini Variations. But this theme is often used as a musical symbol of madness. After a "madness episode" that happened 17 years ago, while I was practicing the Hungarian Rhapsody n2, this piece is now for me intimately connected with madness. So I started to try to entangle the themes of this composition with "Dies Irae" theme, as a joke, and after few years I wrote "madness cadenza"...

[@LanziBen]

Wow. Amazing job!

[@gemaalvarezvargas8467]

Si estuviera ahí; aplaudiría con todas mis fuerzas!

Will there be more uploads on this channel in the foreseeable future? You are a true master and I would love to subscribe if I can expect more uploads like this :)

[@GP0205]

ciao Paolo, innanzitutto complimenti per l'interpretazione del tutto perfetta!! Io durante la Friska faccio ancora qualche errore bello grosso!! Volevo sapere se tu sei a conoscenza di una trascrizione di Horowitz suonata sia da Volodos che da Lang Lang! Nel caso mi piacerebbe ascoltare una tua interpretazione di quella trascrizione, sarebbe davvero fantastico! grazie mille! e complimenti di nuovo!!

[@finderrio]

Played like a master, and that cadenza, wow! Also, no offence, but your hands are huge!

[@federicobolognesi]

Madre de dios . Che bello. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MatteoBiagiotti]

Ciao Paolo, volevo chiederti se fosse possibile avere una tua interpretazione di un breve pezzo di Czerny, Op. 740 n. 47 È sostanzialmente un esercizio ma non trovo un'esecuzione abbastanza soddisfacente e quindi vorrei sentire il pezzo suonato da te :)

[@trillice87]

grazie Matteo, non ho nei piani di suonare Czerny, anche se ci sono cose notevoli nella sua produzione...

[@okanferyad3962]

I hear Totentanz 9:56 - 10:02 in right hand

[@trillice87]

you're right. The theme is the same used by Liszt in Totentanz, and it is the gregorian melody "Dies Irae" (used by Berlioz in the Shymponie Fantastique, before Liszt), same in the opening sequence in "Shining" by Stanley Kubrick...

[@AlbertJohnLuth]

Why? Why Dies irae? Why not happy birthday? God save the queen? I'm sorry, I don't get it. It's cleverly done of course, but... why on earth?

[@trillice87]

Dear Alberthus Magnus, you're right, but there are always reasons when you write music... The cadenza is part of a larger work, "Four Variations in Cadenza Form after Hungarian Rhapsody n.2" (no "Dies Irae" in the other...), and this one is exactly a piece about madness. Why "Dies Irae"? I had the idea to combine the "Dies Irae" theme with the rhapsody because about 20 years ago i was involved into a madness episode (no kidding, I'm speaking of real madness, my homeowner got crazy during one night, it was one of the strongest fear in my life..), while I was practicing this Rhapsody for the first time, and since then this work is for me intimately connected with madness.. I was living in countryside, and I remember that after that episode everything around me and the house where I was living was distorted and weird, the trees, the house, the sounds of the crickets and birds.... So you hear Liszt themes slowing getting "infected" by the madness theme, till the extreme craziness. I hope these pieces of information could be useful!

[@AlbertJohnLuth]

@@trillice87 Thank you for your reply! I was thinking about what you said. For me the most dissapointing moment occurs when you finished your cadenza and continue with the Liszt's original run again. We all know Liszt's ending. Have you thought of rewriting it and making it as if it is distorted by the crazyness you discribe? And by it tying your cadenza and the original ending together as it where? Just a thought and obviously intirely up to you. Thanks again for your reaction.
