I think Kultyshev does an excellent job conveying the emotion needed in this etude. I have heard many interpretations (including Berezovsky's which I think is a little too fast and harsh) and Kultyshev's remains to be my favorite. I play this piece myself and find it very difficult to play the soft sections as well as he does.
he is from Saint Petersburg Russia, even when he has already won the Tchaikovsky Competition, besides of playing concerts he still continues his studyes in the Saint Petersburg Conservatory under Professor Alexander Sandler...
Can't hear the howling snowstorm winds beginning at around 2'30''. Sound more like chromatic scales. By this time Liszt was writing music, not fireworks.
He got the 2nd Place, However there was no 1st place, 1st place was not awarded, so anyway he won the competition. 3rd Was Alexander Lubyantsev Both from Saint Petersburg Conservatory in Russia.
Who cares if he had just one or two mistakes? This is an immensely difficult piano piece, and this was an amazing performance. It's far better than what I can do.
Honestly to me that performance stand the best musically, technically and most importantly the attitude toward the music despite accident. It's not just perfect pitch but expressing the music and that was obviously the evidence here...true musician is not to give up on stage but keeps going to the end with the music in mind...
@numbersun You would be nervous as well! Its one of thee most prestigious of piano competitions! He went on to recieve 2nd place at this competition, 1st place wasn't awarded. He clearly plays quite well...well a panel of expert judges clearly think so.
So our boy Miroslav envisions the piece all spread out and glorious in his head. Sets his hands on the keys.. One last breath before beginning. OK, let's start::: First note and the goddamn judge has to sneeze
Ravishingly passionate. The few sourpusses in here that complained about a few wrong notes - if this performance doesn't move you, that's your problem.
I know what an etude is, i know its french and i understand your point. What I tried to say is that in some languages they call everything that is music a "song" regardless of what it really is. But yes, I agree with your that lots of people just call it a song because of their ignorance.
Essentially this piece involves tremolos(rapid alterations between notes) with one part of the hand while the other fingers (pinky) play the melody notes, which are sometimes rather far apart from the tremolos... to you have to just high/low to the melody note and then bring your hand back to continue the tremolo, very difficult. Then there are fast chromatic scales and stuff.. this is one of the hardest of the Transcendental Etudes
1st place was not awarded because the jury considered that there was no competitor good enough to deserve the 1st place,even when there were great pianists participating in the competition,winners of other tough competitions,which I think should have made it to the finals in this competition and unfortunately didn't even make it to the 2nd round,I may say that this kind of incoherent decitions unfortunately are quite common among music competitions.
If all competitions are anything like this then no thank you. No applause? People criticizing 1 wrong note at the beginning? Kind of seems like it sucks the joy out of playing in exchange for obsessive scrutiny. Not my cup o tea.
the talent,sound, music is the main thing not his eyes, face and so on...many say the same about Lang Lang and despite of the comentaries, he is still the man on the piano!
That's exactly what I was thinking. The finale should be the most passionate and exciting part, and by suddenly playing the ending so quietly and slowing down too soon, he took most of the drama away and spoiled the performance. It should die away after the climax as the snow storm passes by. It's a pity because it was good apart from that.
@Stukov16 After you learn it though, you'd realize it's not that big of a feat compared to playing something that is much easier very well. By much easier, I don't mean easy. I mean being able to play the Appassionata like Daniel Barenboim or Rachmaninov's preludes like Vladimir Horowitz, or maybe not even as good as them, but crystal clear with virtually no mistakes.
your best bet is to go out and buy it. I've never found a download aside from a .mid file. Look for Études d'exécution transcendante. Naxos is extremely cheap and has a pretty good recording. I forget who the pianist is though.
@hellomate639 I'm studying it. When I'm ready, of course. It's not that common to see a pianist play this. You have to have A LOT of patience and still survive all those years of Czerny's and etc.
Maybe people who are commenting here are not native english speakers... actually, its most likely that they speak your language better than you speak theirs (or mine) so not take a comment seriously just because of bad grammar isn't really nice of you... btw, many languages use the term "song" for everything that is music, I myself had to learn that there is this difference in english.
I heard as well that Alexander Lubyantsev(3rd place)was considered to get the 1st place because he played very good the 3rd Prokofiev piano concerto.However his 1st Tchaikovsky was not that great and as a result he got the 3rd place in the competition.
Ok, I don't know exactly what he's doing in the crazy stuff in the latter half of the middle, but he really needs to keep it moving along like a storm, like he did for the rest of the piece so well. That's what bothers me about how many play this piece: they freaking pause between sections. SO many people do that! It is a buzzkill!
@Stukov16 Meh, you don't want to make that trade-off. This piece is irritatingly difficult to play even after you know it and once you know it you know it and have played it many times. Plus people just go "OMG ur amazin!" and then that's it. I know, I play this piece.... Learn it though if you want a real challenge.
sorry, i just cant take many of these comments seriously. awful grammar, calling this etude a 'song', and to top it off making remarks about his face. did mtv or vh1 do a commercial with some of Liszts music? how else could some of you get here
he's extremely talented..tho the facial expressions he makes are quite interesting (ie 1:50, 2:15, 2:30, 2:35 haha)nevertheless excellent technique and performance
etude is not an english word, its french. and that is their ignorance calling everything a 'song.' like i said, how do some of these people get here? this is not a popular work like hungarian rhapsody 2, or liebestraum.
People criticizing 1 wrong note at the beginning? This is a extremely difficult piece
Lautaro Garcia what I dont hear anything wrong with it
@@fortissimom.440 0:21
He should've been drawn and quartered for that.
IOhevnmesterOI - he literally hit the right note and the one next to it. Why are people so
It's just one note. Even the greatest pianists make mistakes. I guess it's just unsatisfactory, since kultyshev is one of the best I've seen.
Браво, Маэстро! Ваше исполнение "Метели" потрясающее!!! Ждём концертов в Петербурге. Поклонники Вашего Дара с давних времен.
Well, his playing was indeed very incredible. However, look at his eyes...his whole facial expression while playing is awesome...
Roxaskh19 Lol your profile picture kinda looks like him.
He won second but no one was awarded the first place. :/
Why
For us, it's him who won the first prize :)
I think Kultyshev does an excellent job conveying the emotion needed in this etude. I have heard many interpretations (including Berezovsky's which I think is a little too fast and harsh) and Kultyshev's remains to be my favorite. I play this piece myself and find it very difficult to play the soft sections as well as he does.
Wow, I am humbled by this piece and the performer.
Bravo! I love this performance. I even like the face expressions - made it more interesting.
This is one of the best versions I've heard. His bravura and soulfull playing fits this music perfectly.
Молодец! такое проникновенное исполнение, звук, отношение, детали..!все просто супер!
Hands down, my favorite rendition of this piece. Beautiful.
Trifonov
@@theowinckel Lim
c'est du liszt ;) toujours aussi virtuose et splandide avc des sentiments égalements. Belle interprétation, j'adore.
This is a great version, very expressive and full of subtle nuances
I think this is a really masterpiece, I hear this many times and I never bore to hear it!!!
Bravo....best interpretation ever!!!
this is the best performance of this really hard piece that I have ever seen!!!! he makes it easy!!!!
Interesting facial expression, love it as a pianest! So unique.
Espetacular! Um grande Pianista! Performance extraordinária!!
he is from Saint Petersburg Russia, even when he has already won the Tchaikovsky Competition, besides of playing concerts he still continues his studyes in the Saint Petersburg Conservatory under Professor Alexander Sandler...
And now he's teaching there .
you welcome! He is about to give a concert in Saint Petersburg!
Incredibly talented guy and thoughtful performance!!!
I thing this is the best interpretation for this piece
well done!!! i think that liszt is still alive
The women at 3:17 understands the meaning of A Tempo.
what a performance! it's incredible; he had to win the competition
this is beauty
Awesome!
A truly arresting performance...
This is the best interpretation I've ever seen.
that is probably because you have not heard Trifonov`s rendition , It will make you cry.
nice performance! 3:56😍
Can't hear the howling snowstorm winds beginning at around 2'30''. Sound more like chromatic scales. By this time Liszt was writing music, not fireworks.
stunning... can't believe this is not a studio recording.
comparing this guy to berezovsky is just unfair.. berezovsky is just a super freak (in a good way)
this guy is undoubtedly a derseved winner
He got the 2nd Place, However there was no 1st place, 1st place was not awarded, so anyway he won the competition.
3rd Was Alexander Lubyantsev
Both from Saint Petersburg Conservatory in Russia.
Who cares if he had just one or two mistakes? This is an immensely difficult piano piece, and this was an amazing performance. It's far better than what I can do.
Where are the mistakes?

It's not just perfect pitch but expressing the music and that was obviously the evidence here...true musician is not to give up on stage but keeps going to the end with the music in mind...
What the eyes he has!I like them
@numbersun You would be nervous as well! Its one of thee most prestigious of piano competitions! He went on to recieve 2nd place at this competition, 1st place wasn't awarded. He clearly plays quite well...well a panel of expert judges clearly think so.
É uma extraordinária, bela é muito
difícil. Grande Liszt ! O pianista,
formidável.
So our boy Miroslav envisions the piece all spread out and glorious in his head. Sets his hands on the keys.. One last breath before beginning. OK, let's start::: First note and the goddamn judge has to sneeze
beauttiful.¨!!!!!!!!!!
Ravishingly passionate. The few sourpusses in here that complained about a few wrong notes - if this performance doesn't move you, that's your problem.
One of the best interpretation, along with Arrau's. Berezovsky's is also amazing, however a bit less dramatic.
I like to see his big eyes, but his eyes don't express the same thing as he feels in heart.
I know what an etude is, i know its french and i understand your point. What I tried to say is that in some languages they call everything that is music a "song" regardless of what it really is. But yes, I agree with your that lots of people just call it a song because of their ignorance.
his eyes are hilarious

Myroslav: "I just shit in my pants" lol
no, the one rigth to the door in the back of the hall(in the middle on the right).Look at her hair^^
WHEN EYES NEARLY ARE POPPING OUT OF THE SOCKETS, U KNOW IT IS AN INTRINSICALLY DIFFICULT PIECE
1st place was not awarded because the jury considered that there was no competitor good enough to deserve the 1st place,even when there were great pianists participating in the competition,winners of other tough competitions,which I think should have made it to the finals in this competition and unfortunately didn't even make it to the 2nd round,I may say that this kind of incoherent decitions unfortunately are quite common among music competitions.

The audience usually doesn't applaud until the contestant has played all his selected pieces. That might be the case in this video.
why was there no first place?
I can’t break free from this storm
the talent,sound, music is the main thing not his eyes, face and so on...many say the same about Lang Lang and despite of the comentaries, he is still the man on the piano!

하 ㅅㅂ 개귀엽다ㅠㅠ😭😭❤️
Petrov and Grafmann in the jury? Anyway, very energetic and passionate performance it is. And nice hair too. :-)
😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

Uh seriously, Feux follets, Mazeppa, and La Campanella are the only ones that I think might be as technically challenging as this one.
Fucking great!good！
i meant to say thank u, not craziemonkie32... sheez my sis. :)
I heard as well that Alexander Lubyantsev(3rd place)was considered to get the 1st place because he played very good the 3rd Prokofiev piano concerto.However his 1st Tchaikovsky was not that great and as a result he got the 3rd place in the competition.
And that's the only thing that you heard in his performance?

I like this performance, People don't be stupid, where are you looking for?, what makes difference face expression, if guy plays fantasticaly
the big leaps? yeah it is
Who says he's ugly though, he's a normal looking guy.
directly behind....
where is he from pleez? does anyone know?
However there are a lot of beautyful girls in Saint Petersburg willing to date him.
@jpcfernandes indeed
After this song I think that they will have to tune the piano again! LOL
@Stukov16 No creo que compense
the one who brought her hand to her face?
@jamison94816 at first i didnt get it but then i saw her and i laughed for like 3 minutes straight
at 4:12 he's thinking "how the hell did I get here and why?" sometimes climaxes can do that to you.
Lol at the woman that leans her head out at 3:17
Where
@gymgymgymgym Ohhh :( He's so cute :'(
I don't know about you guys, but, in spite of the playing itself which is really good, this is not a suitable presentation.
0:22 was that meant? or did a little tiny something went wrong?
21 people lost in the blizzard...
bizar ce mec
@henrikirit This is areal fucking pianist!
look at ~ 3:18 down the aisle on the left side
how the woman is "looking" XD
Play them arpeggiated
@Stukov16
Meh, you don't want to make that trade-off. This piece is irritatingly difficult to play even after you know it and once you know it you know it and have played it many times.

he's extremely talented..tho the facial expressions he makes are quite interesting (ie 1:50, 2:15, 2:30, 2:35 haha)nevertheless excellent technique and performance
Hahaha it's like a horror movie
pretty good.
I prefer Kemal Gekic's interpretation.
what do you think is wrong with the first page? If you think berezovsky plays good you dont have to answer.
@jamison94816 lmao
Why is he making scary expression on his face ???
you are supposed to arpeggiate that kind of large chords.
Lugansky a bien gagné le premier prix.
Pas du tout ! Il a gagné le second prix comme Miroslav.
etude is not an english word, its french. and that is their ignorance calling everything a 'song.' like i said, how do some of these people get here? this is not a popular work like hungarian rhapsody 2, or liebestraum.
I hope you're kidding. Chasse-Neige isn't even the hardest Liszt etude.
There are many etudes that are more difficult.
feux follets is.
