Proof that Liszt was the best pianist and composer of all time. They way he could transcribe and compose the most sublime nostalgic music and also the most diabolical sounds ever produced on the piano is unbelievable and unmatched.
@Robert Kowalski Verbally attacking me just shows that you didn't have a better way to discuss what I've just said. For me, Bach was the greatest composer that ever lived, and there is no reason why my personal opinion should be worth less than yours.
@Robert Kowalski No, my goal was not to victimize myself, I have used those words as I could have used others. That being said, you are making a fool of yourself for this childish attitude that you are having with others just for not sharing your tastes.
They're so good! Liszt's so good! Liszt is a such versatile composer. He's good at creating majestic atmosphere, while he is also capable of making nostalgic memories. I can hear all kinds of emotions in his music. Personality, my favorite is benediction and mephisto. The former one is so warm, and the latter one is so seductive, which is unique. Thank you for putting them together. Favorite composer forever!
@@TheModicaLiszt i think it could very well fit in here with its 4 pages of ff+ octaves although theres probably many even more epic climaxes out there
@@nandovancreij I prefer No 10, I wasn’t going to have two of the TEs filling up the list. I had to compromise on fame, variation and length for a lot of them.
Thank you for including transcendental etude 10 on here. I feel like compared to the other etudes, that one can be overlooked, even though I personally think it’s one of the best.
Personally, I agree with the placement of Der Tanz in der Dorfschunke's placement; I absolutely adore the piece. Although, I do think a few parts of Liszt's Sonata in B minor belong here.
wow, amazing compilation! I love F.Liszt, although his lesser known works (the mejority of his prolific ouvre, really) are still unknown to me. I loved piece #4 the one with the name in hungarian, with its drum-esque bass and really powerful motives in the right hand. I can perfectly hear them as a trumpet, as Liszt effectively makes his piano music sound like an orchestra. The piece Oratorium Christus is also a breathtaking discovery for me. This prompted me to listen to the Oratorio in its original orchestral and vocal form: oh, my god man. (after listening to part one) You might be right, this is Liszt's best compostion. Thank you for sharing this with us, Modica. Liszt is a treasure.
wow they’re all so so beautiful, in my opinion, liszt is the best composer:) it’s so hard to pick favorites from him, but these are all so amazing. God bless
@@TheModicaLiszt This video just reminds me of how godly Liszt was, I mean you could attach 100+ climaxes to it and it still wouldn't get close! Well done for including a lot of the lesser known pieces though... there is an extraordinary amount of unknown Liszt out there and for the most part it should be heard. Cheers!
I know it might not be of the same level of magnitude as some of these choices, but I really do love Liszt’s Liebestod transcription, and especially Horowitz’s recording which ended up being the last thing he ever played.
4'30 is more than an Epic Moment for me when j listen it by Alexander Malofeev : The Pianist of XXI iem Century also in virtuosity Mephisto W by my favorite Lizst : France Clidat . Lizst is not always Epic without an Epic Interpreter !
Astonish compilation! Where can I get the score for Reminiscences de Lucretia Borgia? Can someone help me? (I found it on imslp, but it’s in a very bad quality and I can’t practice on it).
I was going to say WHERE IS LES PRELUDES but I realize it was piano (and piano versions of les preludes isn’t that good)but great video and even if I know a lot of Liszt some piece here was new and you had such great taste❤❤❤some in the top where my favorite
I'm surprised we didn't get one of the off the beaten path transcriptions, like a Beethoven symphony or one of the operas (e.g., Norma, Lucrezia Borgia, La Sonnambula, Wagner, etc). Not to say there might be room for a follow up lol. ;) Enjoyed the set though!
@@TheModicaLiszt i listened it at first on my phone where i didn't see your annotations, now i am listening on laptop and i found them. Thank you, excellent choices, in love with Liszt
@@TheModicaLiszt I don't think it is similar, to me it depicts a crisis in the d'Agoult/liszt-relationship. Not a trace of that in the Benediction. I was thinking of the build-up before the piece shifts to E major,
expecting the climax of Song of The Sheperds at The Manger on the liszt(srry for the pun. very punny. sorry). my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. great list tho
