    It takes entire life, hours and hours every day without recess to build at least satisfactory technique to even touch a piece of this caliber. It takes months to mature the rich, complex themes and wrap them into one continuous flow around the most intricate technical subtleties. It takes demonic stamina to survive 15 minutes of double-octave chords, endless waves of glissando-like (!) arpeggios, most capricious, unnatural rhythmic groups in sprint speed without a smallest space for a slip and correction.
    And there you get a few incidental claps. In era when people still were capable to concentrate on one task/act for a quarter of an hour. Not even the era of tik tok millionaires. Hat off to you, Zoltan.

      Not to sound like a snob, but it takes a higher appreciation of music to love a piece like this. That is not to say anybody can’t enjoy music like this tho. Liszt is often thought of as a someone who was simply a virtuoso who made everything unnecessarily difficult. While that is true for some of his compositions, Norma is truly unbelievable. It is taking essentially an entire orchestra + chorus and putting it through a single instrument. And I think certain parts of this piece are beautiful even if you dont like Liszt (4:10, 6:45, 8:00, 10:41, 13:15, 13:52)

    It's only a small hall in Baden-Baden with a capacity of 200-300 spectators, that's why the applause is so big...However, the "peché" of the piano performance art was created here and then, the most perfect Liszt replica of this piece. I am convinced that only a Hungarian artist can perform a Liszt piece authentically. Kocsis, as a 4th-generation Liszt student and descendant, carries Liszt's genes in his genes, which makes a Hungarian pianist's Liszt performance inimitable. They can be called Horovitz, Richter, Rubinstein, etc., but they lack this "plus", everything is written in the sheet music, everything can be perfectly learned, but the inner state of mind required for the performance of the piece formulated by Liszt cannot be described in the sheet music. It either comes from within or it doesn't. That's all...

    • @csabasc
      @csabasc 4 года назад +11

      I don't think Liszt would have been envy, as he did not have that attitude. He was supporting and lifting up his contemporaries, musicians, composers, although several times without any appreciation. About technical skills, I guess Liszt could have more of a composing, "improvising" focus on his techniques than a perfectionist "letter to letter" one, but most of what he could be doing was exceptional from spectacularity and sounding. Liszt's skills must have been really extraordinary, if he could take such a piece like Feux Follets and many others as improvisation (of course this latter was not improvised but a rework from Op1 etudes), but I mean he had that very wide skill set taken from the Karl Czerny "school".

      Please don't develop opinions about one of the most amazing piano composers in history if you have never even read a single Liszt article.
      We're talking about someone who was VERY socially active, inspired millions into the future, and gave credit to every individual pianist & composer that shaped him. Even basement dwellers like Alkan are noted by Liszt to have great technique in which he would adopt into his own works.
      When Chopin died, Liszt went above and beyond to make sure his name would echo through time.
      Via a eulogy, never ending name drops, and publication of many Chopin works long after his death.
      Like get real. Liszt was the student of greatness itself. In no world is such a person envious over some young guy in the 1980s performing one of his pieces well.
      How do you derive the conclusion of Zoltan being a genius, superman, super human, divine, etc-- While comparing it to Liszt, the person who transcribed this to solo piano to begin with...? O.o sit down kid you are another product of societal ignorance.

    • @Kris9kris
      @Kris9kris  2 года назад +5

      To be fair, competition culture, and this middle-of-the-road/unchallenging/watered-down mainstream style you’re talking about still existed and was widely accepted in 1987 although perhaps the influence and recognition of previous generations (for one thing, Horowitz was still alive) were still looming in the background. It’s like the beginning of terminal cancer, when the illness itself is there, but the symptoms are less prominent.
      Have to say, Kocsis’s style was very divisive and unconventional even in his prime. Some of his recordings were panned and elicited outrage from establishment journalists and figureheads (like the Chopin Complete Waltzes CD). I think he existed in this weird limbo where he wasn’t a bog-standard, “politically correct” concert pianist like Zimerman but also wasn’t a complete hack/snake-oil salesman who could bamboozle millions that he was a misunderstood genius like Gould or Pogorelich. People didn’t know what to do with him.

    • @extremepianochannel
      @extremepianochannel 2 года назад +1

      ​@@Kris9kris Regarding the presence of middle-of-the road, watered-down playing, you're probably right- but even competition playing in the 80's and 90's was head and shoulders above what it is today- and I remember it quite vividly. If it had been anything like today's homogenized playing, I probably wouldn't have remembered any of it. As for Zimerman, Gould, and Pogorelich, Zimerman left us some genius and strikingly vivid recordings- the Brahms 2nd concerto, the Grieg concerto, Liszt's Totentanz, Chopin's third ballade, etc., while Pogorelich left us with magnificent recordings such as Ravel's Gaspard, Prokofiev's 6th sonata, Balakirev's Islamey, Chopin mazurkas, and some shorter Brahms pieces, like the B minor rhapsody, etc.; there's probably plenty more of that caliber. Now which young pianists today can pull off such repertoire CONVINCINGLY and with artistic originality??! As for Gould, I often admire him for his intellect rather than his artistic merit, but his Bach and Mozart were unique and second to none. Suffice it to say that it is suspected that he could hear AND UNDERSTAND three or even four conversations simultaneously- which would truly make him a freak of Nature as well- and would explain some things..... :-)) And I have heard the entire Kocsis recording of the waltzes that you mentioned- I'll agree that they're quite un-idiomatic and "un-chopinian" at times, but still, they are played with great gusto. So what if he was unconventional? .....at least he had spirit and personality - and was a hell of a pianist as well.... :-))

      @@Kris9kris This is a really interesting summary of Kocsis's appeal (or not). I've just bought the Chopin CD that you mentioned, hoping to be surprised by the interpretations, and I certainly was! I'm happy to hear a great pianist's personality coming through, and Kocsis achieves this - some would say at the expense of the composer's intentions. But Kocsis would have been the last person to ever ride roughshod over a composer's works - quite the opposite. It's sad that he experienced so much unfavourable criticism from fellow musicians, who could have accepted his highly individual style and appreciated his integrity.

    Whilst its true that Kocsis was never a strong technician,not by todays standards anyway, he always played with heart and enthusiam as witnessed here, which made up for his technical shortcomings.I saw him play years ago and there were fistfuls of mistakes but somehow it didn't matter that much.

    • @Kris9kris

      If you saw him post-aortic dissection (aka. after 2012), there is a reason why. His right hand was paralyzed as a result of his surgery, and he had to pretty much "retrain" it from scratch. I think he did a heck of a job under the circumstances.
