I've really enjoyed your series on the Années de pèlerinage. Vallée d'Obermann and Orage have become staples of my repertoire thanks in large part to your videos, and I'm very interested in this piece, too.
Such a beautiful work and very evocatively played Cole. I keep finding myself wanting to learn everything you present, but I can't learn them as fast as you. However, fortunately there are many I can't learn at all so I might keep up 🙂
Thank you for the scholarly introduction followed by an exquisite performance of 'Les cloches de Genève': bravo, Cole! As a 'hymn to life', Liszt seems to be perfectly content to not be 'living' in himself', but rather to have 'become a part of what surrounds' him. If only such contentment was not so transitory!
Liszt is amazing! Much more than the acrobatics and bravuras! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the consolations and their revised final versions. Thank you again for always sharing your thoughts and renditions with us
One of my favorite pieces, and its position at the end of the first year is a big part of the special feeling it creates. Sometimes I think everything important about music is extramusical. Off topic but I don't believe you've covered much by Fauré. Any plans there?
Really appreciate your background and analysis and performance. And it makes me think about this version a little more appreciatively in the way you put it into the context of the set in the final version he published. I wish that people knew the first version from Album D'un Voyageur as much as they knew this version as it is one of my favorite Liszt pieces for such amazing integrated melodic beauty and tenderness, and am excited for you to explore that first version in the future. There's a wonderful recording of it by Ashley Wass ruclips.net/video/KFe-sU1sohY/видео.htmlsi=YpDnkAlFiCef3Vx6 Thankyou again I really appreciate your thoroughness in exploring these pieces.

That’s a wonderful compliment. I’m so glad I was able to bring you together with some new repertoire pieces!

Thank you! I did do a video on Consolations 1-3 although it was awhile ago. I definitely need to complete the set sometime soon.

Yes, I’m interested in doing Fauré, I’ve simply never played any before so I will need to find my favorites!
I think that the 2nd part of original version depicts a (erotic?) boatride with Marie d'Agoult, which Liszt erased.
Beautifully played!
my favourite
19:58 is reminiscent of someplace in the liszt sonata
I like the choice to delay the bass note, it reminds me of Horowitz
you posted at 1am australian time lol. i was fast asleep
