What a genius! Apparently, the judges (?) decided that because he didn't use the "accepted" fingering techniques that he was "not worthy" of anything but 4th place. Amazingly, few remember the winner but this young man is taking the musical world by storm....so much for the technocrats! He is truly amazing and exciting to hear!
@@ethansaltmere I rather like the comparative (not complete) lack of legato; makes for a clearer and more interestingly followable musical performance than most. Usually in Liszt the form and argument are not the chief things heard.
David Moran finally a comment from someone who knows at least something about piano playing. Sound quality is one of the chief wonders of the art of piano performance and the difference in sound different artists can male with the same instrument. Take Volodos and Horowitz for example
And the way the cellist nods back(this kid wants to make MUSIC, okay!). It was probably unusual for him, but he knew what it was about and could return the gesture.
Judges definitely underrated him. There is a magnetism, a charisma that comes through in his playing that can't be denied. Remember the judges in these competitions are often old, conservative and jealous.
The russian judjes "loved et supported" him - but some other ones wanted tu push down - said Boris Bezerovski. He said also that Lucas Debargue was a genius...
Lucas, your interpretation here is a spiritual event. Years on, and it still continues shining with so much love and grace, just like Venus in the morning sky in February.
I remember about those Tch 15 International Tchaïkowsky Competitions in Moscow as It was yesturday where Lucas Debargue🇨🇵 won the 4 th price 👑 the best event of whole my life during 3 weeks 🎶🌹🌻
Just listened once again and I'm more convinced than ever that Lucas should have won. The sensitivity in the opening is tear-evoking in its beauty and elegance.
What do you do when you're playing an impossibly difficult piano passage, written by Liszt no less, and the orchestra gets ahead of you? Why you just play the impossibly difficult passage faster! At least that's what Lucas Debargue does in such scary situations, like 11:36 And notice at the double glissandi at 11:23 he uses only one hand (no, he doesn't do them in a single octave, though that'd be a neat Weberian trick). There really should have been platinum, gold, silver, and bronze this competition because really there were FOUR winners. From the looks of things, however it will be Debargue pushing the three very able medal winners into the shadows because of his spectacular playing combined with that novel, James Bond-like surreal early life he had...playing piano by ear as a beginner at 11, giving it up to become a bagboy at a supermarket, then resuming it at 20, combining serious study with honing excellent jazz piano skills, to place 4th at the most prestigious competition in the world four years later and only because, as someone who was a fly on the wall during jury deliberations, he played scales using only his thumb and index fingers. Apparently such techniques are beneath an artist of quality. Whaaaa...? Want to hear a "dream gig"? Debargue and Matsuev, who is the most incredible jazz pianist since Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum, together on stage doing sets. I'd pay all $2.49 in my bank account to watch that. Hey, why looking so disparaged? You never heard of the Widow's Mite?
Actually, he never was a bagboy (there are no bagboys in France), he was just part of a band, playing bass while he was in highschool. But he is a great musician, I had the chance to hear him last saturday in Compiègne, the city where he grew up.
I love the way Debargue plays along with the orchestral interlude when the main theme transforms into a march ... It heightens the true sense of triumph Liszt longed to convey 😂
L'ho ascoltato il 19 maggio 2022 al Festival Pianistico di Brescia. Non sapevo nulla di lui. Si è subito avvertito che in lui c'è qualcosa in più rispetto a molti suoi colleghi pur dotati di tecnica ineccepibile. La sua esecuzione di Gaspard de la nuit e di Scarlatti hanno lasciato il segno. Molto coinvolgente !
obviously great Pianist. The reason why he got 4th place might be that he did some mistakes and others can do it "without any mistakes"- obviously thats wrong. I think he Shows the Impressionist side of Liszt with his 2. piano concerto. i heard his Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel i really like the sensitivity in his fingers!
I always think the biggest challenge of any musical performance especially piano is to not play the wrong note lol It's still a miracle to me that these guys are playing so many notes for such a long time and a little disturbance could have caused them to play the wrong note and then the next wrong note ...
And why the need to be racist/stereotyping? There are plenty of amazing Asian musicians - no need to put them down just to express acknowledgement for Debargue.
What is all the fuss about? Technically spotty, brittle tone, rhythmically unstable. One expects a nearly professional level from a Tchaikovsky finalist but this is not even close.
Bear in mind that was the first time he played with an orchestra ! It's just incredible !
superb
Debargue doesn't even need the conductor. Look at that eye contact, the genuine connection, he is so awesome!

probably partly to due with the very nasal sound he produces and complete lack of legato. It's all too percussive
@@ethansaltmere Nasal sound at the piano? This level of pretentiousness should hurt.
@@ethansaltmere He is not a singer and your comment is ridiculous...

The way he looks at the cellist at the start.....you can really tell the music resonates within him so deeply. Such a beautiful and poignant pianist.
And the way the cellist nods back(this kid wants to make MUSIC, okay!). It was probably unusual for him, but he knew what it was about and could return the gesture.
YEAH that's exactly what I thought !
Adrian H.
By the way,
Soloist not supposed to watch the orchestra or accompanist all the time, it's considered unprofessional
@@ShaolinChan5988 who cares whats he ‘supposed’ to do
The celliest is my teacher Paul !!!!!!!!
Sometimes a genius energy is filling this world. Lucas Dubargue is spreading musical resonance to the world. Brilliant!
Nobel peace prize for LD!

He is truly amazing, a genius, and much better than the winner, who obviously won because is Russian.
They are old liberal not conservative.
He deserved to lose because of that mustache so 🤷♂
The Moscow audience was delighted with him, it seems that they did not notice other performers

Lucas is nothing short of spectacular! Extraordinary musician!

Bagboy ???? "there are no bagboys in France" ? Can you explain this word "bagboy" please :-)
"Garcon de bague".
ça ne veut rien dire en français ou alors c'est un jeu de mot avec "Debargue" - "de Bague" mais ça n'a aucun sens - tant pis... laisse tomber.
Je suis trop ému par cette interprétation. Quelque chose du paradis, bravo, Lucas...
Gotta love his playing!
I love the way Debargue plays along with the orchestral interlude when the main theme transforms into a march ... It heightens the true sense of triumph Liszt longed to convey 😂
Superbe! votre interprétation est un enchantement! et quelle émotion d'être dans cette salle!
Wow! This guy is incredible! I feel like a nobody at the piano now.
Achingly beautiful.
It was the most important event of my life and what wonderful and unforgettable memories too !
bliss, enchantment, joy, intoxicating...- a work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity - r.m.rilke
I love it, give me more of that sweet Lucas Debargue
that conductor with the orchestra was incredible
Cuando grabó esto en Paris , los noticieros de la mañana lo tenían como una gran estrella del piano, y lo es, su técnica de fabulosa.-
Fabulous Lucas. Bravo. 🌷🌷🌷 (Les Pays Bas)

Olala... C'est quelque chose d'un Paradis... Fascinant :) Bravo mille fois
Captivating and enchanting interpretation!!!!!
Una musicalidad impresionante!
Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debargue is a genius
He is awesome
Émotion quand tu nous tiens........Thank you and long life
Превосходно! Браво!
I LOVE THIS MAN
Gorgeous hands!
Oui, des mains et un doigté exceptionnels !
Lucas is magnificent! Thank you Valery Gergiev for recognizing this, in spite of the rigged voting which gave a much lesser pianist 1st prize.
Magnificent.
Genius.
The most sensitive musician of the times!
J'ai n'ai pas entendu les autres concurrents mais pour moi c'est un premier prix.Félicitation!
Великолепное исполнение.
When I listened to him then, it seemed, that I can distinguish between mezzo-forte and mezzo-piano
Mr. Debargue, when are you going to play like that again? Where has your inspiration gone?
он крут. у меня такое выражение лица только когда я вижу чашку эспрессо)
:)))))
He' s absolutely unique
Финал 2го концерта
Ференца Листа !
du coup bapt est un grand pianiste, ravi de l'apprendre. J'imagine que gael joue de la trompette 😏.
obviously great Pianist. The reason why he got 4th place might be that he did some mistakes and others can do it "without any mistakes"- obviously thats wrong. I think he Shows the Impressionist side of Liszt with his 2. piano concerto. i heard his Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel i really like the sensitivity in his fingers!
Hat dieser Tastenheld sich das wirklich mehr oder weniger selbst beigebracht? Unglaublich !
was schwaetzt Du da ein Kauderwelsch zusammen, mehr oder weniger,
Проста Люка получает удовольствие от музыке, поэтому и всё вокруг.
Люка ещё и очки поправляет, это так мило.
Оркестр интересно и красочно играет.
holy shit
❤️
Bravoooooo....
Peter Donohoe is sleeping:( Do pianists become immune to other pianists and their amazing creation of music?
Who is the cellist at the begginig?
The cellist is my teacher paul Suss and I love him!
I always think the biggest challenge of any musical performance especially piano is to not play the wrong note lol It's still a miracle to me that these guys are playing so many notes for such a long time and a little disturbance could have caused them to play the wrong note and then the next wrong note ...
The judges relegating him to last place betrayed their own technical incompetence and jealousy!!!!
1:53 lol subtle.
😂😂😂
piano concerts usually bore me but that was like music making love to me
Да уж дирижёр...сколько неточностей
Is he better than George Li?
What is funny is that Debargue is having more success than Geniusas, Masleev, George Li and the others...
Да уж дирижёр...сколько неточностей и в финале загнал.
Self taught? Amazing
Yes so was richter and he was one of the best
He is not self taught. He spend many years with professional classical pianist teacher. Now he is part of university where he is studying.
@@MegaPianogenius He's not "self-taught", and neither was Richter. 🙄
연습할때마다 희열을 느끼나??
Дирижёр победил))
Always the same nationalities winning....
C’est un très bon pianiste et musicien,pas un génie.c’est un interprète pas un créateur!
true musician playing . not some asian virtuoso
And why the need to be racist/stereotyping? There are plenty of amazing Asian musicians - no need to put them down just to express acknowledgement for Debargue.
What is all the fuss about? Technically spotty, brittle tone, rhythmically unstable. One expects a nearly professional level from a Tchaikovsky finalist but this is not even close.
Hey kid. Don't forget to wash your hands first when you go home.
Obviously you don't know what true art is all about.
❤️
