I don't cziffra plays it so fast yet it still sounds very good I guess. Perhaps it works because he's that good and for us trying to reach his tempo is unreasonable
Finally a well produced video where the focus is on the hands, as all these piano videos should be. The split screen view of the artist's expressions gives the viewer a choice over what they want to focus on. So many videos try to be "artsy" and show things of no interest, usually at the most technically interesting parts of a piece. Such as a view of the dampers on the strings, or a broad image where the hands can't be seen. Well done!
I've seen so many videos of these songs where I'm thinking 'yes! The best part is coming!' but the video switches away from the hands and I'm like 'wtf!'
He's a real talent, and no, he's not Cziffra, he's Adam Gyorgy, and I think it's an immense honour to be asked to play at Carnegie Hall for the 200th anniversary of Liszt...I've met Adam when he played in our city, and he was warm, kind, and totally floored me with the intensity and emotion depth, as he lives this material. Anyone who thinks otherwise should post their videos!...Cheers to AG!
Very few artists can blend the two contradicting things called logic and beauty. Even fewer artists can bring out beauty through logic.This dude is one of those artists that can.
Absolutely remarkable. Watching him play is a delight in itself; he is obviously enjoying every moment of it. Virtually perfect performance at, in my opinion, the correct tempo. Excellent video work too.
Learning this now, its difficult to actually know what notes you are playing at times, because of the extremely rapid pace of some of the sections. I had to stop learing it a while ago as I could not manage the part towards the end with the hands together runs. Think 2:34-2:37 I could not get the notes to match up exactly, very annoying, dont know if I can now to be honest.
it’s the tipcal piece you can play only if you are a virtuoso. that means 5/8 hours of technical skills study every day for 5/6 years. the difficulty is ranked 7/9 for henle. I’m studying rach op 32 no 13 ranked 9/9 and it’s way way easier. gnomenreigen is easy to learn but to have such a control of touch you have to master some techniques that you can have only playing hours and hours. that piece of rachmaninov is musically a lot more challenging but with tech difficulties way much easier than these. so don’t try to play gnomenreigen because if you are not a true virtuoso it sounds like shit
@chutdigadut OMG I agree! The reason the name is so fitting for the piece, so quick, so naughty, so cute, all symbolic of Dancing Gnomes.... Liszt was truly a prodigy! And this video was WIN by the way, I really appreciate videos that pay attention to a pianists hands/fingers instead of their face or background.
@stellartunes He is definitely one of the most exciting young Liszt pianists. He has spectacular technique but also plays with an impeccable musical sense. An amazing talent!
@adamgyorgyfranzliszt its either you all or all of you. all ya'll is not necessary. none of you know nothing is a double negative none of you know anything is the right way to go.he can't learnt to play a piano. he Learned. other than that i agree with you 100 % there has to be a connection between the piece and the pianist playing it, otherwise it would never sound right.
I haven't heard this piece before, but from what I hear it's a very nice piece. I might attempt it, though I most likely won't be able to play it. LOL.
@kylelandry Holy Sh*t WHAT A COINCIDENCE. My friend posted this to see what piece he was playing. and I see Kyle Landry's comment here O.o My favorite Pianist on youtube :D
i played this piece yesterday in a concert... i wish it would have sounds like this and it would have been this fast... he plays it amazing ! and you understand it even more if you know the piece ... it is first of all really hard technic and it is mentally hard because of it think 4 or 5 time key changes!
@DmasterQuIFF57 Hey man, skill has nothing to do with view count. Liberace was pretty damn popular but did that make him a better pianist? I for one think comparing world-class professional pianists is like comparing supercars, sure it's kind of fun but it doesn't matter, they're on a whole other level. Though I have to say, this performance is clean as hell.
