Karl Tausig - Das Geisterschiff (The Ghost Ship) - Xiuwei Yu

Xiuwei Yu is a DMA student of UNCG, this is the recording of her first DMA recital.

Definitely a worthy contender for Rian de Waal's recording! I really like the slower introduction, adds a lot of character and tension which makes the resolution right after all the sweeter.

I've never seen a live performance of this. I'm currently learning this piece and it is very HARD. Probably about as hard as Liszt Mephisto Waltz no.1 or 2.(Which makes sense cuz Tausig was a pupil of Liszt) I found your video cause I was looking to SEE(not hear) how the glissandi should be played. Thanks!
Great playing by the way too.

I almost lost all my fingers when playing the gliassandi !!!

this video is amazing, unbelievable that people can play such music! My biggest Bravo to Xiuwei Yu! I know this piece since years and I recommend to watch it on thenameisgsarci - there you can see the sheet music looks partly literally like ghost ships. Masterclass from both Musicans and Composer Karl Tausig.

Thanks for a very great performance. You put more MEANINGFUL music to this work rather than just a showing off of technical virtuosity like many other pianists.

Like the chromatic glissando.Thanks Tausig.
