ewwww. He plays it way too fast. That is one of the few Liszt pieces that is totally ruined by fast playing.
hungarian rapsodies: roberto szidonfor those of you who have never heard of roberto szidon's playing of these rapsodies...PM me for some samples...that will change your life, you'd start to wonder how can these pieces be played any other way...
what? nobody said arrau yet...
Not much of a Liszt fan at all, but Yundi Li's La Campanella is pretty incredible. Very emotional, very clean. I find Jeno Jando's Liszt, or anything he plays for that matter, to be rather bland and mechanical.
Among the living Liszt interpreters:I saw Arcadi Volodos 2 years ago in Amsterdam playing a perfect "Après une lecture de Dante" and a superb "fantasia quasi sonata".
I've realized that necroposting's bad rep doesn't really apply to these polling threads.I don't know how this will be taken, but I actually think it could be Lang Lang.
I'm curious, could you recommend me some performances by Lang Lang? Lang Lang has always been either a hit or miss for me (although usually its a miss). Personally for me, no one can beat Arrau.
