Lang Lang's interpretation of this piece is both haunting and ethereal. The way he channels Liszt's emotions and nuances is truly breathtaking. It's no wonder he's considered one of the best pianists of our generation. Every time I listen to his performances, I'm reminded of the sheer power of music to move the soul.
@@bruh-th5ft actually, I can just listen sometimes and be offended, too. He often distorts things and it’s bothersome to many people. There’s a performance of the Chopin Opus 10, No. 3 E major Etude when he played as an encore. It’s positively nauseating to listen to, even with eyes closed. I get what you’re saying, though.
@@danielgloverpiano7693 This was my experience when giving an honest listen to his Hungarian Rhapsody No.6. The tempo jumps around in an obnoxious way. I will say though, I think anyone who readily disparages his performance of Liszt's Paganini Etude No.6 is not being honest with themselves. It's genuinely quite nice imo.
@@TheExarion I’ll check it out, thank you. There’s no question he can play anything he wants. It’s his artistic choices which often bother me from a musical point of view.
Oh how nice... This was the first Liszt I was given to play... I have long lost the score, now I know what for I have to seach. Thanks for this gem - never performed, almost unknown.
I’m amazed that others join me in my objections to his clowning. It’s such a terrible waste of a truly great talent. Yes, he plays this in such a movingly heartfelt way with no histrionics. I wonder if some idiot told him that ignorant people with no knowledge of music would love his clowning. In fact, it makes him seem so much like Liberace, that I was sure his marriage was for show, to try to prove he was straight. I don’t care if he’s gay or straight, as long as he stops demeaning the music with his ridiculous clowning.
❤Εξαιρετική ερμηνεία !Εκείνο που θαυμάζω περισσότερο είναι ότι άνθρωποι που έχουν τόσο διαφορετική κουλτούρα και background από εμάς του δυτικούς μπορούν να ερμηνεύουν άψογα. Εμείς οι Δυτικοί δεν μπορούμε να το πετύχουμε και να καταλάβουμε την κουλτούρά τους σε βάθος. Συγχαρητήρια !!!
The jealousy towards Lang Lang is amazing...anyone who plays so beautifully and with such technical proficiency can do anything he wants...stop being such haters
I wish people would stop acting like all of the criticism towards Lang Lang stems from jealousy. There are a lot of times where he changes (or, as others have put it, butchers) pieces just to wow an audience in a way that usually sounds more impressive than it actually is. His performances can also often be way way way too overly sentimental - huge dynamic changes and elongated rubatos that serve more to linger on sensitive moments in music but kinda end up disrupting the music’s message. And many people view these disruptions as phony. I don’t even hate Lang Lang btw. He’s put out some really solid performances that I’ve appreciated, and I think a lot of the hate he gets is blown out of proportion. But I’m so tired of this “all his haters are just jealous” critique. I could easily turn that around and say people act like he’s a piano god because all they’ve been exposed to is Lang Lang and they’re too stupid to look into better performers.
As a pianist myself, I can say that both keys "fit" the hand very well, for lack of a better phrase. The more accidentals (sharps and flats) in the key, the harder to play the piece is. Both c minor and e minor have only one accidental - therefore they lie in the hand more naturally. So, maybe the composers were trying to help out their performers a bit?
The Lang Lang hate is too much often, there are performances of him out there that are not great but there's also great accounts, such as this little Romance
A rather subdued performance from Lang Lang, even though you can hear some of his kinda unpredictable/uncontrolled rubato here. Still, I think this is a lovely performance! I just wish he put a little more thought into the ending.
@@elagabalusrex390 Chopin music is way more complex and abrupt. It frustates the expectation of the listener, and he himself hated that it were played sentimentally.
Lang Lang's 2nd personality; the artist.
Chopin called. He wants his nocturne back.
Op. 72. No. 1
😂
I’m dead! Laughed so HARD OUT LOUD!!! 😂😂😂
Chopin called, he wants his extra chromosome back
Haaaaaaaaaaa

Same has been said of Glen Gould with his 'insufferable mannerisms'.
Matured.
He is still nothing compared to Liszt. Just like all pianists of present times
@@argi0774and the sky is blue
This proves that Lang Lang can choose not to be a clown when he wants to be sincere. I wish he played like this more often.
It's just that you are not watching him playing, try to just listen to him on every piece, he's actually doing well

It made me cry, happy, sad tears. Beautiful.
Beautiful performance...of a piece that's actually playable by normal humans. Bravo!
Yes that's what you might think. But wait ;)
He does all the showy stuff out of boredom. He’s like Mahomes out there.
Only one word will do: sublime.
lovely; thank you
Beautiful piece played beautifully👏👏👏👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️

Спасибо❤
This is absolutely amazing

Makes you wonder how he plays when he’s not aware that he’s being watched. Probably much more genuinely.
I’m amazed that others join me in my objections to his clowning.

Lang Lang as never heard before ❤
Btw is there any chance the actual song (Oh pourquoi donc?) exists on RUclips or somewhere?
The jealousy towards Lang Lang is amazing...anyone who plays so beautifully and with such technical proficiency can do anything he wants...stop being such haters
My thoughts exactly. I have always impressed and jealous of his talent, but never pretended he was anything less than a talented pianist.

why are the best pieces composed in c minor and e minor
ikr

Both c minor and e minor have only one accidental - therefore they lie in the hand more naturally. So, maybe the composers were trying to help out their performers a bit?
@@elagabalusrex390 c minor has three accidentals
@@elagabalusrex390as a pianist also, d flat major (five flats) fits the hand beautifully and much better than c major for example…
First Liszt Piece I hear that has not ANY virtuos passages, didnt know that existed...^^
Lisztium sublimenae et dimenzionem lachrymatorium....😢
Like Consolation N. 3.

Haha you sound like one of those amateur music fans posturing as a member of the jury in the local piano competition.
@@user-hg1rx2xv4g haha actually I sound like some guy just expressing his thoughts haha
@@user-hg1rx2xv4g 💀you're the definition of an elitist
@@user-hg1rx2xv4g ?
Where can I get the sheet from?
Search "Liszt Romance S. 169" on Google and click on IMSLP.
Very beautiful piece....😢 But that noise of the sea in the background is unnecessary.
He just does not understand the composer's intentions with this piece.
How do you mean?.
no money for pianotuning?
So beautiful, yet the Romantic era isn't my favorite.
If no one said it was from Liszt, I'd say it could be Paul de Seneville and Oliver Toussaint 🤣 #balladePourAdelineFeelings
I'd say his friend Chopin.
