Yevgeny Sudbin Liszt : Harmonies du soir

[@imyjr]

"Harmonies du Soir" (Harmonies of the Evening) by Franz Lizst can easily come across in the wrong hands as a bombastic piece. Yevgeny Sudbin brings to it a modern sensibility, a subtlety that without eschewing bravura when bravura is called for, portrays the seductive power and passions the music seeks to depict. Thus by focusing on the music and not the pianist, Sudbin succeeds in his masterful rendition and brings Lizst into our age. Congratulations to him.

I agree with your statement completely. Liszt put all those notes in there so that pianists to shape the work with an array of subtle shadings, not so they could show off their funky fingering. This is the best rendition of this piece I've heard since Leslie Howard recorded it.

Not starting an argument or anything, but Liszt's favourite and most talented pupil, Karol Tausig, explicitly hated the pianist playing with "spectacle".

Exquisite interpretation , intense passionate energy and luscious tonal shading and color. Bravissimo!!!

[@matthewcoldicutt5951]

So amusing to read Jonathan Thompson stating it is the best performance he has ever heard ( of this piece? ) and then in the comment above him CowboyTim finds it choppy and disjointed,with references to to a Lang Lang's visual style at the instrument .....can they both be correct ,I ask myself. Well ,in my humble opinion Mr Thompson is spot on .Also, though Lang Lang is a fine pianist (sometimes a touch too exuberant perhaps) Sudbin is nothing like him in manner, thank goodness

One of the best performances I have ever hard. Beautiful!

[@marcosviniciosribeirocompo1137]

Listen ..ARRAU playing this !!!!!

[@jamesmiller4184]

Always it's the handicapping to get noticed. What mad person ever developed the idea that competing Art against Art was a good idea, for any purpose-sane? It is indicative I say, of the animal side of we humans to do battle, and tear one another to pieces! (But for cowards, who could not ever so-do directly!) Such low-level violence does NOT belong anywhere near to Art!!! To the prima facie questionable proposition, mark me as enemy.

Arm Chair concert pianists are at it again.

[@jamesmiller4184]

That seconded here, Thomas!

[@fournetleo6158]

are u musician?..

[@marvintorrejas3690]

For me this Master piece of Franz Liszt was far more beautiful than the Claire de lune of Claude Achille Dubussy...i barely liked this :)

[@jameswilson807]

I agree that the piece should be played slower than it generally is, but this is rediculess. This is like 50% of Berezovsky's speed (which I'm very fond of).

[@CI-ym5hr]

I love berezovsky

[@fournetleo6158]

lol absolutely no reports..

[@cowboytim98]

I find this disjointed and choppy. And did this guy attend the "Lang-Lang School of Affected Gestures"? Good grief!

[@MartinVanBoven]

And notice at 1:09 he is so busy projecting a fake visual image of a real artist "caught by the music", instead of actually projecting real music onto the audience, that his dramatically lowering arm bangs the piano. The performance is indeed disjointed, but overall not too bad.

You two loser-critics seem to be out voted.
