- When I first watched this performance on RUclips, I was dumbfounded. I was so enthralled that after it ended, I was breathing violently and my heart was pumping, as if I were in the audience. It sounds as if Liszt were at this piano, with such speed and virtuosity, accuracy, yet melodic and musical contour as well. And guess what? It was played live in the Busoni Piano Competition in 2019. Here is an alternative interpretation: • Franz Liszt - Rondeau ...
Manuel García (1775-1832) was a very successful composer of zarzuelas and the fifth number of his one-act piece El poeta calculista of 1804 is entitled ‘Yo que soy contrabandista’. Liszt settled for ‘El contrabandista’ (‘The smuggler’) in his hair-raising paraphrase of it-the Rondeau fantastique-and so may we. Liszt’s piece was published in 1837, with a dedication to George Sand, as his Opus 5 No 3-the companion pieces being the Clochette-Fantaisie and the Fantaisie romantique sur deux mélodies suisses. It remains one of the most impressive works of his early maturity, and its current neglect-difficulties notwithstanding-is a testimony to the want of a spirit of enquiry in many of today’s pianists.

Spectacular performance. Although the mistakes, this is ardent and Lisztian.. Certainly more interesting than Lisitsa’s studio recording. I saw your comment in one of my videos and this really may make me re-download everything and work on Synthesia videos. I anticipate this recording wouldn’t create any copyright problems?
Because it is live, I haven't had any copyright claim or infringement. Your videos are so amazing :) It would be so fantastic if you continued
@@TheModicaLiszt Well, I'll try to consider making a new video on this recording (which will be a challange considering the exclusive Rubato in Belyavsky's interpretation and the possible complaints for the mistakes), don't expect it any soon but I may, as the quarantine prolongs.
Thank you for the embellishments, by the way! Your channel is also spendid.
Lisztomaniac It is a modest and small channel, but it’s mine and it’s what I do. Thank you :D Have fun trying deal with Belyavsky’s exciting tempo fluctuations xD

Liszt was just a crazy guy !! That's why I love him so much ! ❤️❤️
Felix Li-En Same! What a monster of a piece this is!!
that's how i like a Liszt interpretation, i don't care about the mistakes you guys are pointing; for me, personally, the biggest mistake is playing notes without ideas, not notes without precision.
INCREDIBLE! Litteraly wow, what a performance! Bravo !
Indeed :))
His double note trills are actually not human wtf
Liszt était un passionné d’Espagne . Il a abordé plusieurs fois son folklore : rapsodie espagnole version piano seule et avec orchestre. Le thème el contrebandista est une découverte personnelle enlevée et comment par le virtuose russe !
If one writes music like this one can't expect anyone to play it note for note perfectly unless they drop their lives for three years. Belyavsky certainly delivers the temperament, sense and vision of this piece. Thanks. What has Liszt got that nobody else has? Aside from the theatrics he makes use of augmented chords in a way nobody else does.
I bet this is the tempo Liszt played it at, anyways, this is a spectacular performance, even with the mistakes it's very impressive!
Best recording of the piece.
I’m inclined to agree.
@@TheModicaLiszt Yes
Lisitsa's recording was better in my opinion, she just plays it very cleanly and with very few or no mistakes from what I recall
@@redeal6581 no! thanks for your useless opinion!
(just saying but I'm being sarcastical, she plays it fine)
@@AsrielKujo Why the vitriol? Redeal is entitled to express an op as are you. See Arthur Brooks's appearance on NPR's Freakanomics recently about the creeping cultural of contempt in our society. Please.
he totally nailed it, there are very few areas for improvement in this performance
Pro QBr When I first listened to it, it blew me away with how Lisztian it is
@@TheModicaLiszt same lol that guy is a really good pianist, listen to his other recordings, they're great too. his don juan is pretty much perfect except the fact that the presto part would sound better if he played at at the actually fast tempo from start, he played at insane speed for only few parts towards the end. unlike okada who played it at consistent fast tempo, but apart from that I haven't heard a better don juan recording
his performance of chopin etude op.25 was really something too
Pro QBr Yeah I agree
@@pleasecontactme4274 His El contrabista and reminiscences de Don Juan are perfect. I also like the speed he took and he also played the tremolos(prime difficulty in this piece) perfectly. He is a great pianist... It was dope. Faster than Lisitza and Howard. Probably the fastest and the best interpretation that I've heard. Even the Spanish theme in his interpretation is well heard and he doesn't reduce or violate the beauty of the piece. He can I prove still.
And also he played Don Juan correctly according to the tempo indications. Its not supposed to be consistent because it has a lot of tempo changes.
This is gorgeous
Amazing ! 🤩🤩😍😍 I love Liszt ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this performance as well :)
incredible interpretation
I have never heard this before.
People who say Lisitsa plays this too fast haven't heard this performance
Lisista plays with no soul. Debating on how it's too fast or not is pointless, her music is bland and boring.
Problem with her is that she struggles with the notes. Totally different levels.
@@damiangilz unless one can play the notes effortlessly they'll never be able to truly convey the music they want to... though it seems even when Lisitsa can play the notes fine she forgets the second part...
@@loganm2924 she has stated that this piece involves luck for her to hit the right keys. Does that sound like playing the notes effortlessly?
@@damiangilz that’s my point, I was agreeing with you
I don't like this performance because the tempo he takes is inconsistent. To play this piece well, you must keep in mind that the main theme comes from a popular Spanish song of the time. Knowing this, we must strictly respect the tempo of the song when presenting the theme. Moreover, Belyavsky does not keep this tempo throughout, he suddenly slows down regularly and this makes us lose the rhythmic feeling of the piece. On top of that there is almost no difference in speed between the "quasi presto" section at the beginning and the "prestissimo" section at the end.
I can't see how some people think this piece isn't very "musical."
Well… it’s good, but it is also a lot of fluff!
@@TheModicaLiszt yeah, I like fluff though.
@@dunkleosteus430 As do I :)
A very beautifull piece... The pianist didn' t respect the origins of this work. I mean, it' s beautifull when you hear, but it' s hard to seize the original theme, in all these musical ornaments
9:42 "ffff" because ff is not loud enough! 😂
Same in his Ungarisher March S.231 😂 No wonder Liszt broke many pianos...
@@TheModicaLiszt Seriously, Liszt playing live was definitely something out of this world.
Lol
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji Well, Rachmaninoff started to compose after Liszt died...
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji Ligeti wrote a lot of fffffffff and pppppppp in his etudes, go check
It's not a 10 minute piece. It's a 30 page piece!
3:43
Rare that I say Lisitsa's performance is less inane. It is a bit more interesting of an interpretation though.
The piece itself doesn't exactly lend well to serious performances.
ManticTac I disagree totally, but music is subjective
i still have to find a piece Listisa played at conservatory student level or more
Although I highly appreciate the bravura and wide dynamic range this performance has, I have to say the tempi are somewhat inconsistent and Val does a better job there. This performance is indeed faster and more agressive, but I don't know if that is what I like
Each to their own :)
I agree, Valentina's performance was a little slower but I think they match the same speed on the harder parts, and hers was a lot cleaner and accurate

Wrong time signature.
Instead of 5/8, it is 3/8.
It says 3/8?
Oh wrong one
Wow someone 0ther than litsista
Valentina was the first to upload onto RUclips I believe. Since then, there have been a few other performances, and multiple in the Liszt Piano Competition 2017 Semi-final 3 where it was a set piece. Belyavsky took part in that. All these are on RUclips. However I stumbled upon another more recent performance by Belyavsky at the Feruccio Busoni Competition 2019, and I had to make a score video of it. It's so amazing :D
so sad that she and her performance of this piece was a bit overrated (imo), this performance is amazing
@@TheModicaLiszt What did you think of Dina Ivanova's rendition of this work at the 2017 Liszt Competition? I have to say I liked it a lot, I never heard anyone play it live before and thought she did an amazing job. This recording from Belyavsky is insanely good, though, probably my favourite interpretation at the moment.
Gergely Kiss I liked her interpretation, but I chose this recording because it blows all the others out of the water I think. Ivanova’s performance was better than Belyavsky’s in the Liszt Competition definitely, but this performance is so striking. I hope Belyavsky records this piece in studio one day! ;D
Liszthesis I agree totally. Before I heard this, the only interpretation from Lisitsa I would listen to was this piece, but now none of her interpretations match anything of other pianists at all. She was very overrated.
Nice video, but definitly Not the best interpretation of this piece
Difference of opinion is fine. But it is naïve and abecedarian to assert that Liszt would have played his early concert transcriptions with utmost focus and rigidness - pieces like these lend themselves to fun, hot-blooded, masculine interpretations (like this one by Belyavsky) rather than jejune playbacks like Lisitsa’s or Clidat’s. We are all entitled to our own opinions, and I’m glad we all have open minds here :))
Very noisy
So fast. Not good
