Emil von Sauer (1862-1942): Liszt - Liebestraum no. 3 

Sauer’s playing is like a flowing cascade, everything flows naturally as it should, nothing sounds forced, it’s just beautiful.

Superb!!! Absolutely magnificent...and, indeed, probably the closest, that we may ever be able to imagine, how Liszt would have played it. No doubt, Von Sauer would have been influenced by his teacher.In some small way, at least, this recording is a tiny glimpse into Liszt's world...though, sadly, we will never know to what extent.

This is as close to the way Liszt played this piece as you are going to get!

How beautiful is this . . . . so humble and so deep , the very right "goldener Mittelweg" -the way in the middle- in simple english , I could listen to it hundred times . . .

Tone quality is SO much better than more recent players.

This is a very accurate rendition. The right hand accompaniment where E is played first in C major, then in A minor and finally in E major sounds like a rain. This version helps you understand what newer ones fail to do.

One of the very best performances of this piece. Much a I believe Hofmann to be the finest pianist of them all-his performance of this work just does not move me at all.This one does. Bravo! TY.

I love the little spurts of notes in the left hand at 0:43 - 0:48

I gotta try playing it during rain

A man of unquestionable training with a teacher of unquestionable integrity will have no fear in expressing a deep but appropriate emotion embedded in this musical piece. Virtuosity is not at question here but the ability to feel and express tenderness thru the music is truly the most daunting in a world fortified by technique (and scoffers). I believe even Liszt may have used this ability to please his lady patrons who were after all amateur music lovers thus the dedication in the title.

I have played this so many times at recital, and been terrified by any possible glitch...and to hear a student play it...awesome. I just wish the recording were a bit better. Flat from 600 to 6000 is a bit weak..reminds me of that with which we were once content...but THANKS for posting it. What a gentle, assured performance.

Truly a love-dream...of the heart, with passion and sweetness. Exquisite! Superb! Aquavit!!!

Beautiful!

Lamond is Also one of Lizst pupils, both their students play like their master.

I have one big issue with nearly every recording I have fond thus far: 1:48 is supposed to be played apassianato assai. I have heard this part played so well that it sends shivers all through my spine and brings tears to my eyes. I desire that feeling once again and have yet to find it. That E6 should ring with you until the end of that section. I have an mp3 that does it sometimes if anyone s interested.

According to a professional musician (violinist - the accompanying piano was Virginia Fortesque - outstanding South African pianist by the way) the gypsies had amazing violin skills. Not bad for for people who who had no professional violin tuition no?

I love it! God why didn't you give me technique :(!

4:13 did you listen to this, Mr. Kissin ? .... This is music.

And please remember Claudio Arrau.

432Hrz???

You are quite correct - sorry

Penso che che questi pianisti di allora egugliava rachmaninov che sono vissuto nello stesso periodo

Re-read the intro to the video: "Pupil ( aka 'student') of Liszt." Then re-read my comment.

?? Emil Sauer is one of the great pianists - hardly "a student" - he edited the Kalmus Brahms edition.
