You got balls! Anyone who can play this deserves respect. Super Amazing!
Thank you!
9:39,I’m so in love with the melody
Actually the ethos in the building-up section is more noticeable in this fantastic performance, in particular the bars in which chellos carry the main voice and the violins create the atmosphere. Sublime.
WOW ! Tristan ... you are a piano Grand Master, to say the "Liszt" ... But seriously, you really are. Amazing performance Great Hug from Portugal.
thank you very much for you kind words!
You are an amazing pianist, seeing someone actually play this inspired me to keep playing
Thank you for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated!
The perfection- of the music, of the pianist, of Beethoven, of the performance - brings tears to my eyes. The beauty brings the heaven to Earth.
You don't know how many times I've watched this video😭...i can't describe how much i love the way you play this piece❤️😭
So good. Because, who else could translate a symphony into a piano solo besides Liszt? Probably only took him a weekend, too.
Liszt considered the 4th mvt of the 9th symphony "utterly impossible to make a partially satisfactory and effective arrangement". between 1837 and 1843 he had transcribed symphonies 3, 5, 6, and 7, and in 1863 his publisher Breitkopf & Härtel suggested that he complete the series. when it came to the 9th he expressed his feelings about the 4th mvt of the 9th, and wanted to leave it at just three movements. Breitkopf & Härtel wrote him an expressive letter begging him to finish the symphony transcription and Liszt made another attempt. he felt the successful result was because of "the range achieved by the pianoforte in recent years as a result of progress both in playing technique and in terms of mechanical improvements enables more and better things to be achieved than was previously possible. Through the immense development of its harmonic power the piano is trying increasingly to adopt all orchestral compositions. In the compass of its seven octaves it is able, with only a few exceptions, to reproduce all the characteristics, all the combination, all the forms of the deepest and most profound works of music. It was with this intention that I embark on the work which I now present to the world."
Samuil Fineberg's arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Scherzo from Symphony No 6 "Pathetique" is amazing on the piano! ruclips.net/video/XmXS7oxRuzM/видео.html
Actually it took me 10 minutes
ahh..I do love the Seid Umschlugen part. It's so powerful at the piano, hitting those bass notes is such a pleasure! thanks for the compliments!
Which part is that?
@@greenmusic4787 . 13:44 - 16:53
What is the part beginning at 9:25
11:02 one of the best part.
Thanks! It's my favorite part :)
And the most difficult!
It's very epic🔥
@@lorisbonetti4250 I think the ending is harder, but still...

21:33
Me too
This is the BEST ODE TO JOY in Piano Version I've ever enjoyed !!!!
Just a little beginner ditty
yes, easily. Any music store has them for a reasonable price. Liszt transcribed all the symphonies. You can also do a search for Beethoven Liszt symphonies IMSLP. they may have them...
it is. In fact I rank it among one of the most difficult transcriptions in the 'standard' repertoire.
Maybe THE most difficult piece on piano
@@mlue4991 No it’s not
@@notmusictheory74 lowkey
Not exactly. Try C. Katsaris transcription of this symphony. Gave me a hell of a time.
@@cartoryxofficial7176 To listen to?
Astounding playing! Liszt transcribed the 9 symphonies to help spread the enjoyment of this miraculous music back in the day when orchestras were less numerous. What a wonderful tribute - thank you for presenting this "anthem for the world," is this "Ode to Joy" - a melody anyone can sing, according to biographer Jan Swafford.
Liszt didn't transcribe to spread enjoyment of this symphony, while that could be a quarter of the reason, he transcribed all of beethoven's symphonies because he was commissioned to

Phenomenal work Tristan! Beethoven-Liszt symphony arrangements are one of the hardest things for pianists to learn and pull off well. Chapeau
thanks Daniel, coming from you it means a lot!
Why would people dislike this !!
Such an amazing thing exist
Because they are uncultured swine!
This is so hard that even my piano teacher had to miss a few notes in
the right hand!
Awesome! The fugue is wonderful, and I am blown away by "Seid umschlungen,
Millionen!" at 13:44. Thank you, Franz Liszt and Mr. Lauber for this.
Your welcome
9:25 best

@A SEVENTH? NO? One day. For a subscriber speciale
@@FranzLisztOfficial nice
I don't think people in the comment section realise just how difficult it is to play this (or how difficult it was to transcribe it) so both tasks and both the pianist and arranger (Franz) should get a lot more credit. Liszts Beethovens transcriptions are the best transcriptions ever made and some of the most impossible things in the literature. Bravo to this pianist. Most great pianists never recorded these. Horowitz said it was his biggest regret for they were the greatest piano works there were.
.................wow. just-wow.
I just contacted Liszt; We both approve. Excellent performance! This is easily one of the most difficult Liszt pieces if not the most difficult. I believe there are 2 or 3 others that could compete for this title.
Yes
Indeed.
lol! the next time you speak to Mr. Liszt ask him what he was on when he wrote this thing. Must have been something really powerful ;-)
@@TristanLauber It was pixie dust mixed with acid, mixed with shrooms.
@@FranzLisztOfficial Indeed, it was.
Truly astounding. Bravo!
Thank you so much for your phenomenal playing, given the difficulty it sounds like something that Marc-Andre Hamelin would play, You sir are in worthy company thank you again. Be Well, Tom
Simply awesome --you are definitely blessed, sir!
Thank you! What a delight!
This is amazing!!
Very Wonderful!!!
Beautyful!
amazing... really amazing...
This gets 10 out of 10 for effort, but I find Liszt's previous arrangement of this movement for two pianos, to be infinitely preferable. Have a listen to the recording of this movement in Liszt's arrangement for two pianos, by Leon McCawley and Ashley Wass (also available on RUclips). Their playing of this entire symphony, in Liszt's two-piano transcription, is masterful. In the final movement, two pianos can easily encompass this mighty, magisterial movement. In fact, having arranged all the previous eight symphonies for solo piano, Liszt arranged the first three movements of the Ninth for piano solo, but stopped there, having already arranged the final movement for two pianos. He only eventually arranged the final movement too for solo piano reluctantly, at the insistence of his publisher, to complete the set. But to fit a full orchestra, plus SATB choir, plus four soloists, under the two hands of one pianist, strikes me as ever so slightly insane, ultimately unfeasible and impossible, as I'm sure Liszt realised. This valiant effort by Tristan Lauber tries its best, but there are some fluffed notes and sometimes complete control seems to be slipping away from him, as if he's a coachman desperately trying to control an unruly team of horses. Don't get me wrong - Lauber is a brilliant virtuoso, that goes without saying. But this final movement done for solo piano is just too much of a struggle. In contrast, the McCawley/Wass recording for two pianos is crystal clear, I don't hear any fluffed notes in any of it, and the pianists are so totally together, whether speeding up or slowing down, at all times, that it sounds like one instrument. In conclusion I find Liszt's arrangement of the 9th symphony for two pianos far superior and preferable to the solo version - in the final movement, too much is expected and demanded for any pianist. So while I admire pianists who embark on the stormy seas of the final movement for piano solo, for me I'll take the two-piano version every time.
Fascinating transcription by Liszt. Well played by Mr. Lauber.
Well done for memorising this all
Best I've seen so far on piano. He did very well the notes. The piano's sound quality is great I mean this man is good and talented.
Thanks you for such praise. It requires a great deal of work to learn and play a piece like this, so knowing that it is appreciated makes it all worth it!
+Tristan Lauber Just subscribed your channel and I'll recommend to my friends too. Gives inspiration for both, those who like listening or playing. Which coutry are you based ?
Carlos Vasconcelos Canada!
Carlos Vasconcelos hello there and thank you for the wonderful support! I am based in Montreal Canada...
GRACIAS
It's more difficult than it looks, but it looks really difficult! And the result is awesome.
Great job, thanks.
Super !
bravissimo !
This is great.
12:51 is verrrry Liszt!
lol true
thank you for mentionning this. It happens to be the most difficult part of the whole piece. It's also the one that always needs the most work ;-)
BRUH how do you not got atlest 1million subscribers Your a Awsome pianist
@@MrHunter83 you are very kind. Much appreciated!
Now we can enjoy it for eternally in YT :)
Thanks!
Well there goes away my dream of playing this piece😂
Masterful!
Thanks bader,much appreciated!
Good to bring the genius Beethoven's Ninth Symphony!
Fantastic
Thank you very much! Very kind of you
Szép👏👏👏Szépen játszik és pontosan!!!!
Me maravillan las transcripciones para piano de sinfonías
this is wonderfull playing! :) i read somewhere that liszt had particular trouble with this movement of the symphony when he was transcribing it.
thanks for the concert :)
Kasper
At first he didnt even have plans to do the 9th one i believe, im not quite sure
Wow, that was really amazing! I was curious to know how long it it took you to learn this movement by heart?
It's curious but I understand better the transcription as the original , bravo you are lucky to do that
Alway strive to reproduce the orchestra,vocal solos and chorus. Hear all the instruments, tones and colours. Tremolos are the tympani. The full power of the orchestra in all 10 fingers. Study the conductors score for important details and listen carefully to the original orchestral version. Herbert von Karajan Berlin philharmonic.
LOVE THE FUGUE AND GRAND PART
thanks ;-)
Adrien Brody (The Pianist) at piano. :P
You're good.
How does this movement compare in difficulty to the last movement of Alkan's Concerto for Solo Piano? In my opinion the two pieces are at a similar level of a gigantic challenge.
It's very difficult but I can't compare it to the alkan, because I have never played that piece!
MIDI file can be found here if anyone else want's to learn this remarkable piece: www.kunstderfuge.com/liszt.htm
11:24 left hand melody is fantastic
Thank you very much!
didnt know Nicolas Cage was a tier S pianist xd, this is my favorite beethoven-liszt 9th symphony performance, nice playing!
Thanks for replying. I forgot to say "Bravo!!"
LOVE ittt :)
cool
4:32 ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!!
Is noone going to talk about the choral independently singing their lyrics at 16:55 ?
can anyone give me the sheet or tell me where to get for the part that starts at 9:30?
I'm looking for the same thing! Had any luck finding it yet?
yes /watch?v=A-ByzVTt8wc&index=12&list=LLww_JB3n3nMqLKYbMBhu-QQ :)
Aaaaaartur thanks!
Aaaaaartur You can download sheet free at imslp.org .I think he plays the liszt arr. for this wonderfull peace but not sure so please check maybe other out as well.....myself try play this at moment^^
i know I'm 5 years late, but go to this link:
petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/2/22/IMSLP01060-Beethoven-Liszt_Symphony-9.pdf
so good, with mistakes, but excellent :)
es muy impresionante BRAVO AMIGO y ademas deve de ser bastante complicada de tocarla, esta obra me gusta mucho sobre todo el ultimo movimiento de toda la vida el 4º movimiento (himno a la alegria)......
his expression reminds me to Adrien Broody in the movie "The Pianist"
oh, it is very difficult. I think it is one of Liszt's most difficult transcriptions. thanks for the compliment!
Maybe harder than Tannhäuser overture or Don Juan Fantasy?
@@pseudo_klavier possibly, just by being longer that makes it harder. but i haven't played the other two transcriptions so i won't pronounce my self.
@@TristanLauber I can agree that it might be more difficult as it is longer than don juan yet it really depends on who is playing the pieces as they both have separate challenges
22:45
Un seul mot merci
in name of god , can i get the scores ?????? please.
15:24
135bpm on highlight 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
his mimic is kinda like spennys from Kenny vs spenny
2:23
I remember as a kid I used to listen to a midi file of this very piano transcription. I also had a midi editor with basic notation ability so I also got to see the notes as they were being played. I remember as a small child being in complete awe at how complicated and technically difficult this was. Watching a human being play this is delightful!
But it is hard to play right :D
Such a monster piece, very well played. I bet there are few pianists in the world who dare to perform this massive Liszt Transcription.
I bet this is much much difficult than it looks.
I think Liszt would have made a great dictator.
For free in Wikipedia.
I would kill to see him to Tarantella
Why kill to see him there if you can just see him on youtube?
+Harry “RonaldMcBadass” Lube its a figuer of speech
Which one? There are many.
Hard to play...tried for my entire life. WHEN, I win a lottery, you are invited to listen and have a nice BBQ. with piano and ...
Good Lord, who tuned the Piano...Ooops, lower Keyes flat and sharp...ouch...otherwise, brilliant; really,who tuned the bottom strings on Master's Piano...middle section.
In my opinion, of all the symphonies, this one is least effective on the piano. It's just isn't convincing. Nothing to do with the performance, which is great. The piano just get capture the grandeur and epic nature of the symphony.
I would suggest you listening to Katrasis' performance. You can literally hear every word the choir would be saying
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz Yes, I'm very familiar with that recording. To me, it just doesn't translate well to the piano. Symphonies like 5 & 6 sound great as piano pieces. Also, the 9th has such a grander scale than the others that in the back of your mind you are always thinking that the orchestral version is better.
