Cyprien Katsaris - Liszt/Katsaris: Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major, S. 125 

Incredibile!

Katsaris! Not just a pianist with one of the greatest techniques ever but an artist with a truly fascinating, electrifying personality. M. Katsaris vous remercie pour l'inspiration et la joie que vous avez données au monde de la musique et au-delà !

Amazing

Ohohohoho, that was just delightful! You can feel how much fun he is having playing this. Beautiful, imaginative, masterful arrangement/transcription. Worthy of Liszt himself. Thank you so much for your music, Maestro Katsaris!

Wonderfull, Perfect balance, Brilliant!!!

C'est magnifique!

Grazie di cuore signor Katsaris! Stupendo!

He just feels the music. So amazing and wonderfull. Wish I could play like that!

Absolutely spectacular. You present the dominant and subordinate themes in such a marvelous balance that there is no effort in listening at all! This is one I will not be trying out for myself.

If Liszt had been able to hear this, he would have been very pleased!

Movements: 0:01 - I. Adagio sostenuto assai - Allegro agitato assai 5:31 - II. Allegro moderato - Allegro deciso 9:09 - III. Marziale un poco meno allegro 14:44 - IV. Allegro animato - Stretto (molto accelerando)

Genius!! This Arrangement is incredible, you're my inspiration for Chopin Sonate 3, Liszt and my Improvisations for piano. I wish one day I would meet you in person. Regards from Spain, Sevilla 🎶

Katsaris seems to play faster with age, breaking trends 😂.

Vraiment fascinant !

As usual a fascinating and superb performance. The only great pianist alive that compares with his unique pianism is Hamelin. They always have something new to offer. Their musicianship is at a level hard to imagine. Catsaris is a French pianist of Greek origin. As a Greek myself I am very proud of Mr Catsaris.

1:40 my fingers cried at those soft passages

I am speechless.

11:10…Katsaris mod. ON!!! Genius!!!

I've heard him play this several times live and was never convinced. Seems hurried, doesn't breathe, lots of muddy passages. The weird thing is that his rendition of this concerto with orchestra is absolutely breathtaking (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g9-zu1YyDmg.html). Some of the finest Liszt playing ever. But in this transcription, Katsaris often sounds rushed (he plays 20% faster than with orchestra!!) and technically uneasy. Sorry to say so, I admire him more than almost anyone else.
