I agree 100 percent. The only missed note I ever heard in this concert was a missed chord on mazeppa XD. Others say they hear improve and missed notes and they’re totally delusional. This is played exactly how Liszt wrote it. Berezovsky met all standards to these physically and mentally demanding pieces
carl armstrong yeah that’s totally true. Missing notes shows the audience that’s it’s difficult and they’ll likely have a bigger respect for the pianist. But to me Getting right notes is something I strive for. Not only that but rhythmically. But yes, missing notes is how we lean best.
@@zacsummers8755 Berezovsky has several videos of complete sets of Liszt Etudes, but its the ones where he is wearing a dark blue shirt, that his artistry remains unsurpassed and in the realm of superhuman achievements.
Why can't they find a camera operator who knows how to film a performance like this? We want to see his hands and keyboard most of the time - not his face, back or a horizontal closeup of his hands or the front of the piano.
I cannot agree more! Such an amazing performance and such a dreadful terrible operator. The problem is that many operator consider themselves to be artists and they want to somehow give some added value. Yet they almost always fail.
the point of this type of video is not so that some people on youtube can steal the pianists fingerings, but much rather to give you enough visual information to allow yourself to feel present at the performance
We don't usually think of it from this point of view, but I wonder whether virtuosi like this also have much faster-moving eye muscles than the rest of us. "Eye-hand coordination" includes eye as much as hand.
...which I had forgotten about, but thanks. I honestly think that brain-to-eye reflexes would have to be particularly sharp for someone who is making all those rapid skips around the keyboard. Not every everyone has the innate ability to change his eyes' focus from place to place so quickly.
Peripheral vision goes only so far. Muscle memory can control only the order, direction and timing of the striking of the keys, not the precise distances of blind jumps between keys. If you have a more athletic technique than most of us, you are probably using your eyes a lot more than you realize, because that movement is unconscious. Otherwise, you must have freakishly wide peripheral vision. HAPPY PLAYING!
I will check out your suggestion! Meanwhile, no, I CANNOT "see beyond three times the piano width" with any clarity of focus, while looking straight down the middle. I still contend that most people could not, and that if you can, you are unusual.
@비니보이 you can see 3x length of the piano keyboard by peripheral vision, but you can't focus precisely on every key at the same time. Or can you really focus on all keys at the same time? It would be amazing if yes, because you could read a full Orchestra score all the instruments at the same time. Amazing. The video about eye tracking shows clearly how many small movements pianist's eyes are doing during performance. There are many factors during performance, and the artist isn't aware of all of threm at the same time. We could ask Berezovsky about it...
Don't know what equipment you're listening on, but he has an absolutely stupendous sound. Beautiful in the quiet passages and wonderfully rounded in the loud passages. He has one of the best if not the best sound of any pianist.
It's so hard to focus when you're drenched in sweat. Amazing for him to pull that off, and all etudes 1 in go!
Oh, it's you, I follow you, lol
Damn strait he played them flawlessly
Eli Ehrlich where?
@@РоссийскаяФедерация-б4я in all of berezovsky transcendental études recordings😂😂😂. I also love them but the 7th was a little to fast for my taste:)
igual está editado... tengo el DVD y en no.10 Appassionata rompe una cuerda del piano
Absolutely amazing performance. Speechless...
The best performance of this piece.
A titanic performance. I've been listening to these Liszt Etudes for many years, and Berezovsky is the absolute best.

@@zacsummers8755 Horowitz during his later years said "sometimes you have to miss a few notes to get it right"

carl armstrong I cannot agree more. I have no idea how this isn’t one of the most cherished recordings in classical music of all time.
It’s amazing, this composer amazes me
I agree but tell my why
very fast, yet very exact and detailed touch.
7:08 best touch ever
Amazing!
best rendition yet
4:39 I haven’t seen anyone play it that fast and accurate.
Richter, the 1958 recording (Sofia recital)
@@AbcAbc-ox6pg this is faster
He even played it powerful!!
trifonov in lyon has similar if not higher tempo at the cost of the accuracy thats heard here
I don't know how you can perform such a feat when you look like you've just come out of the swimming pool.

Literally one still camera above the keyboard would've done a better job! 😂
I mean some of the shots were good but i feel like the close ups of his face and and rapid jump cuts were kind of a fail
And yea a horizontal close up of a part of his left hand lol
the point of this type of video is not so that some people on youtube can steal the pianists fingerings, but much rather to give you enough visual information to allow yourself to feel present at the performance
Why that piece is not in the top 5 (popular seeing) of Liszt?
Interpretazione epica
he is definitely wearing a swimming suit
Respect.
In my opinion Arrau is the best Liszt performer ever. But many others are excellent, including Berezowisk.
C. Arrau is awesome.
de las piezas mas hermosas compuestas por Liszt
Listen to Nelson Freire's recording of Harmonies du Soir. It's great, too.
4:47 howwwwww ?!?!?!!?!?
Спасибо !!!!!!!!!
Is his Andantino too fast to really paint a picture of "soir"?

We could ask Berezovsky about it...
Either these etudes are really this intense, someone needs to lower the temperature of the room. I'd say maybe both!
5:38 mistake, he is human after all guys
He so insanely good that the mistake actually sounds good 😂
Perfectly imperfect. Even Beethoven said “to play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is unforgivable”
@@JramLisztfan Agreed, I almost prefer it that way
You wish 😅
TEAM42 BRING ME HERE!!!!!😂😂😂
If this is a Steinway and Sons Piano, what model is this 9ft. Stage Performance Instrument ? 8 Voice-ports !!
He needed a break to change his shirt.
Dopo questa esecuzione, il pianoforte è definitivamente compromesso, da buttare
Why did you rush it for, why did you rush it
I agree it is quicker than lots of other renditions, but it’s so well played that I don’t currrr
Nelson Freire!!!
I see that I've been here before. Came back to drop the same comment. Please try to keep the tempo under control.
I would say: less hammering and more nuance!
The fortes very beaten. Very tense. Ugly sound.
Don't know what equipment you're listening on, but he has an absolutely stupendous sound. Beautiful in the quiet passages and wonderfully rounded in the loud passages. He has one of the best if not the best sound of any pianist.
