hi everyone, thanks so much for the 1k likes 🥰, i've never expected it, (honestly) i just wanted to say a few things: first of all, please check out my other videos on the channel, as well as the both CDs. i've recorded a lot of very different stuff and this is just a tiny glimpse of my output. and the second thing, please consider buying a CD or supporting me in any other way available (the bandcamp link / donate button is in the channel info). i still ain't got my DG contract and right now I'm broke asf as every true artist (no joke, i literally can't buy myself food at the moment) thanks again!
Allow me to tell you something and I also apologize. You play too high and your back will suffer when you are old: Also ask someone you trust maybe. For the rest, since you are young, you will change your mind a thousand times. 
This is the most interesting rendition and performance of Liszt's Mazeppa I have ever heard. I'm caught off guard. You're a very hardworking young man.
Poor guy. Apparently he realized that he lost his car keys at 6:05, and he's furiously searching for them for the next 30 seconds or so. (Yes, the tight pants can be problematic). Hopefully he found them! And yes, I enjoyed the performance as well; a bit on this histrionic side, but the piece benefits from that,
0:05 one of the rare pianist to really do it ad libitum really innovative interpretation on all of the piece even if everything is not at my personal taste you play with passion and that is what matters you really got the liszt spirit and this is refreshing
Yeah, I honestly hate the fact that ad-lib and improvisation in general have died out in the classical word. It was so important back in the day and now you pretty much don't see it at all. I'm not saying nobody cares about it anymore but it's rare to see nowadays
@@Mehrshad84 YES!!! we need more folks like who who really dive into the past... even playing from the score was cool back then... Clara started all of that ... and as you said... Liszt... could do anything... making it up while he played!
I love the humor in the title and the thumbnail, while also bringing out the difficulty and challenge of playing this piece! This is great!!!! You interpetation is wonderful! The dynamic contrast is also stunning! Tempo is also consistent too!
As much as I want to dislike this performance (I don't think the musicality achieved warrants this much physical showiness), I really really admire the confidence to completely throw yourself into the piece and make it your own. Also, not enough people experiment with their own physicality to bring new sounds/colors/expressions out of the piano. Many professionals will say "If your technique is good enough, you don't need to move from the bench", but it's not like many people have tried to prove that wrong. I'm happy this performance exists even if I may not agree with the musical outcome.
But he was fully invested in this performance!!! He's a young man full of testosterone and wild, daring adventure-somness!!!! You don't want to bridle this too much!!
WELL THAT WAS THEATRICAL, DUDE REALLY PUTS ON A SHOW, I LOVE IT !!! AND SUPERB PLAYING TO BACK IT UP !!! I THINK HE THOUGHT THE 👿 devil WAS SNEAKING UP BEHIND HIM TO TAKE HIM AT ONE POINT !!! MY INTERPRETATION OF THE THEATRICS !!! LET HIM SIT DOWN WHEN HE GETS OLD, I LOVE SEEING THE YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE !!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🚒
very interesting how the young generation of Pianists are also entertainers with their performances like Yuja, Trifonov, Ling Ling, Buniatishvili, etc. The old generation of pianists like Horowitz, Argerich, Michelangeli, Rubinstein, Pires, etc, were/are impassible in their playing but yet able to communicate passion and emotions.
M.Bouzine is not Buniatishvili or Lang Lang...He's an amazing artist and he's real. After a few minutes you know he's not there to please an audience, or showing-off, or being "an entertainer". He's here to make music with a true ARTISTIC VISION, unlike many others. His repertoire is very large and his programms are truely unique. To see him live is probably the best concert experience of my life, (I saw Pires, Badura Skoda, Sokolov...) he plays with such intelligence but so lively at the same time. His playing is radical and uncompromising. He's absolutely captivating, fascinating... He's one of the greatest young pianist of his generation.
@@francescoelia.marino Horowitz not an entertainer ? Come on...Liszt, Paderewsky, Horowitz and many others were very excentric. Nothing to do with old or new generation. Today it's worse because some of them are more into business than into music
@@Alix777. Horowitz was always focused on his playing no facial expression, no movement around the piano. He was the same person who said in an interview that he could have never been that type of pianist who does facial expressions and contortions around the piano. Everybody is different of course. Unfortunately from my point of view I can't really focus on the playing when I see too much movement around the piano. One day I went live to a Trifonov performance and it was so distracting he was jumping (literally) in the seat all the time 😂
There are artists in the new generations also. I think it's just the social media factor kind of promoting excentricity on stage with sexy dresses and weird grins.
I'd pay to see you in an octo MMA match against Yuchan Lim. Yeah, he does play Mazeppa a little better, but not with a broken finger or two. Well, actually, Yuja could probably kick his butt too. Have you ever thought of maybe putting up dukes with Trifinov? That one could be a good PPV for piano and fight nerds!!!
A touch of shomanship is perfect when it is consistent with the music. In this performance I may infere that an arcane ritual let F. Liszt's soul use this pianist's body to play his Mazeppa once again. Scary but very Romantic.
Finally someone who isn't afraid of playing how THEY feel! That's what we've lost nowadays! The freedom of interpretation! This is EXCELLENT!!!!!! I LOVE IT!
wow, great perfomance, congrats! Liszt was such a mondern-partybreaker in the classical world.. The musicality of Yours is excellent and passionate. :)
Чересчур эффектно😅 Не в укор, конечно. Я так понимаю, что в эпизоде со спуском в начале второй части произведения вы использовали "ossia".Всегда хотел услышать другой вариант этого спуска, но всегда ленился его разобрать. Спасибо Вам, что дали такую возможность (прослушать эту версию...)
It's ok when people disagree with your interpretation, it's not ok when people don't understand what you try to deliver. In that regard, well spoken (except for standing up 😅)
As the great Ivo P says, what I do is not entertainment, when you come to my concerts you must use your mind and brain - it’s not something you go to before your dinner - not entertainment.
Your technique is awesome, i think you kind of overdid it in expressiveness as i do sometimes (rit, acc, extra notes, adding removing stacato etch) XD. Still you have some really good elements in your playing, which i enjoyed. For example the slow second part (p-pp), which you played pretty amazingly around 2:06 you know. I am also young, and i do stuff like this often (trying to control it somewhat, as i am getting older). Anyway, it was fun overall and i was happy to listen to it. Your dynamics are great!
An absolutely fantastic performance! Dynamics and tempi are phenomenal, and the improvisations add a lot to the character of this performance. Love it!
N'importe quoi et il termine debout j ai cru qu il avait une envie pressante Beaucoup de fausses notes des appuis incertain sur les octaves pédale forte écrasé comme la pédale d accélérateur d une voiture de sport aux 24 heures du Mans Sans parler des grimaces en bref à fuir Il y en a beaucoup qu ils interprètent les études avec beaucoup de respect et de talents
Performing with his face and body to make up for deficits (whether actual or feared) in his playing. In fact it just detracts and distracts. Good enough to just play without all the play acting on the side.
U nas w Polsce na stojaco grają muzycy wykonujacy muzyke na weselach. Ciezko sie na Pana patrzy ale podoba mi sie muzyka i wykonanie. Gratuluje muzykalnosci.
oh my god. You rent the card to practice from me in Nürnberg. And then you start to practice mazeppa…. I should come and see how you play it personally haha
how cutsie, 10 for creativity, however i see a new trend coming: "how to distinguish yourself from yunchan lim?" i suppose this is one way to do it, stand up!
