Liszt: Totentanz ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Bertrand Chamayou ∙ Jérémie Rhorer 

I can't but imagine how blown someone's mind from the 1850s would be hearing and seeing this performed.

2:20 3:42 GLİSS GLİSS GLİSS 7:00 Fugato 7:41 climax 8:28 11:39 12:20 13:38 left hand :) 14:11 final

Probably my favorite classical piece of music. And this orchestra played it perfectly.

That is how it is done. The piano part was well articulated, in fact it all was. This is one of the best performances of this that I have heard.

The pianist is incredible.

3:42 - 3:55 the only part that any person can play in a piano concerto! Hooray!! Thanks Liszt!

Impressive and wild composition by Liszt.

Neverjetno sem užival...čestitke solistu in orkestru. Ena najtežjih klavirskih skladb. Bravo!!!

Franz Liszt just composed such brilliant pieces and of course might have been the greatest pianist of all time. Human beings can create such beauty ( but unfortunately can destroy)

What a showpiece for a piano virtuoso! What an amazing set of variations! What a wonderful performance by all of this exciting work!

Ich grüße den Musikkurs

Die Aufführung des Liedes war wirklich aufregend! Das Werk ist äußerst komplex und schwierig, nicht nur am Klavier! Liszt übertraf sich selbst und erreichte in Technik und Emotion nahezu Perfektion! L’interprétation de la chanson était vraiment excitante! Le travail est extrêmement complexe et difficile, pas seulement au piano! Liszt s’est dépassé et a atteint presque la perfection, dans la technique et l'émotion! A execução da música foi deveras emocionante! A obra é extremamente complexa e difícil, não apenas no piano! Liszt se excedeu e chegou quase à perfeição, em técnica e emoção! (Celso do Lago Paiva, Brasil)

the most epic version…so stirring…I may definitely cry if I'm the one on the spot

I am hearing this in the first time of my life. Fireworks!!

Crisp, clear musical 'communication'. Great speed and tempo.

Amazing rendition and so very true to its origins: a romantic piece that really does make you feel like your very soul is physically rubbing against the raw reality

Bravo Bertrand, je suis content d’avoir été dans ta classe à Lamartine et fier pour toi. C’est tellement difficile d’être reconnu que tu as dû bosser comme un dingue pour en arriver là ! Vraiment bravo.

Fantastic performance with intense beauty and excitement!!!! Bravissimo!!!!

Arpeggios. Doppeloktaven. Sequenzen. Dies irae. Laut.Toll!

Klassische Musik ist so wunderbar, sie macht stark festigt uns

I heard this play in the background of some video and couldn't quite remember what it was. When I went looking around for it I listened to works by composers like Stravinsky and Honegger. Incredible Liszt was already writing like this.

Why are they not standing to applause him? It was magnificent.

The contrast between the initial grave sound of piano and the subsequent scintillating sound thereof is quite impressive. The soloist undoubtedly has the technique with which he can do almost everything. The well-restrained accompaniment by the excellent orchestra is also remarkable.

Wow, such great articulations. I can feel all the emotions such as urgent rush to beat the clock and sadness. I want to be able to show my emotions through music like Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Bravo

Amazing pianist, one of my favorite orchestras, and a fine young conductor. First French gentleman I've seen named (in English) Jeremiah. Well done!

There were a few empty seats in this concert hall back in 2014. Watch them today and the place is packed. This was a good performance but this orchestra has really taken some giant steps forward. One of the best around today, anywhere in the world.

WOW, I did not expect it in such an extraordinary way. Excellent.

4:28-6:45 may be the most beautiful two minutes or so of music Liszt ever wrote

That audience is lame. I would have screamed my heart out in joy. This was absolutely phenomenal!

Really awesome and so beautiful listening to it. Perfect performance of this masterpiece!

Esta interpretación es un milagro!!! Bravo!!!

the balance is simply great! the orchestra glistens, the piano is robust!

An absolutely extraordinary and totally phenomenal performance. In other words, I liked it!

Totentanz. From that famous fresco by Traini. Both image and music imagery are superb.

Start at 0:30. Dark and Sublime

He plays so beautifully

This is everything I wished for.

magnifique! Quelle technique!

Éxtasis de belleza 💕💕💕

Phenomenal!

Magnifique interprétation de Bertrand Chamayou, le meilleur pianiste depuis François-René Duchable.

È solo una proposta:"In quarantena A TEMPO INDETERMINATO Festival di Sanremo, derivati e affini!!!!!!! Spalanchiamo la TV 📺 a Liszt e alla Vera Musica 🎶. Un abbraccio al direttore, agli orchestrali e al Fantastico pianista Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962

Bravissimo!! 😍 It’s only today (after having heard this countless times) I realised that this is basically variations on Dies Irae and that Liszt also transcribed Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz, containing a very similar sounding Dies Irae in the 5th movement.

Very good performance

Oh my god he is good!

Very impressive!

Profondo e potente

How have I missed this piece for this long?

this is insane

Woooow !!!

😮very tight ensemble

waouh ! une interprétation magnifique ! à couper au couteau ! acérée comme c 'est pas possible , virtuose certes, mais avec en ligne de mire la musicalité. J 'ai écouté la version de Matsuev : aussi belle mais un poil en dessous de celle de Chamayou . Peut-être l 'orchestre en est -il en partie responsable ? L ' Orchestre de de la radio de Frankfurt a une rusticité ( écoutez les cors ! ) , qui sied parfaitement à la musique de Liszt.

Excellent, but I prefer a slower tempo in the last measures for a more powerful (and menacing) effect. This interpretation is a bit too brilliant and not quite "diabolical" enough (for me).

Best performance

And i’m only now remarking the use of the Dies Irae in those pieces aaahhhhhh

Ik vind dit een goede uitvoering!

Superbe ! Lionel Rogg

This is like Toguro to my ears

Ahhh Dies Irae

WOW!!!

GRAN COMPOSITOR

Wouldnt it be more simple to call this work variations on the Dies Irae which is a latin hymn describing the judgement day, not a dance of the dead!!

wow!!

Qué rolón

A 4:12 vi sono alcune note riprese dal film Rocky

La Lisitsa è insuperabile

bravissimo! only the zimerman's recording is on a par with this performance.

Very nice performance. Not so great camerawork. Would have liked to see more of the pianist's hands and also the triangle player.

Grande Jugador

♡

7:00 essa melodia...

Dies Irae, La Follia

6:45 - 14:43 best part

Wer ist hier auch wegen der schule 🤠

Wonderful playing across the board. Unfortunately it lacks the grit and existential anguish required by this particular piece. I might suggest the performance available on yt by Matsuev as comparison.

The violinist at 7:47 might just be Schubert reincarnated

8:28

That’s some of the most infuriating camera work ever! I want to see the pianist, not the guy playing the triangle! A great performance marred by bad production.

Audience came strait from the morgue...

This is definitely the audience from hell. No doubt about it. Remind me of this next time I get any ideas of visiting Frankfurt. Just awful, the way they show no enthusiasm for that GREAT performance, without a single person standing up. Insane. And sad. Don't they realize they're in the presence of the greatest pianist possible?

0:30

It seems me a little bit too fast and so, less poetic than it could be...

Repent and trust in Jesus. We deserve Hell for our sin. Lying, lusting, etc, but God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and ride from the grave to free us from sin. If you repent and trust in him youll be saved. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊❤❤

2:44 Rachmaninoff piano concerto 3

I was so right to save Brick!

Quella di Mrvica è più macabra! Comunque bella esecuzione, bravo.

holy fuck

リストは踊れたのww

who else is here bc of liszt vs paganini

1:25 dies irae

Totentanz are Slovak dances, because from the defeat of Great Moravia in 907 until the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the Hungarians called Slovaks Toth, because they subverted and destroyed their state of Great Moravia. That is why the state of Great Moravia was dead.

Just compare it to Matsuev in st. Petersburg, Yashkin in Weimar, Lisitsa and the RAI or even Berrut in Berlin and then make your judgement.

This doesn’t sound very Liszt at all it sound like early 20th century and film music

That man deserves a standing ovation that crowd was ass

Holy shit

Horrible camera editing. Shame on the them. Showing the flute and oboe constantly, even when they aren't even playing!

zippy.

Yeah, it's OK but have you heard of Wagner? He was like a German guy or something . Man, those guys really know how to do a symphonic concerta or two.

The climate change anthem

Brilliant technique by Chamayou and very solid performance by this Radio-Orchestra. Unfortunately without any dynamics and emotions. A rather uninspiring interpretation. There are many better examples here on RU-vid where you can literally feel death's grip on your neck. Totentanz is one of the gems of classical music, but in order to show it's true beauty it needs true artists just like a diamond needs gifted cutters.
