I was asked to help her set up in the church next to my highschool where she played. I didn’t have the luck to hear her play, I had some place to go while she was playing and nearly broke my back trying to carry that very cimbalom because the other dude I carried it with was an idiot. Funny that youtube now decided that I should hear her anyway and recommended the video
@@DaveDexterMusic DaveDickster - your obliteration of the responder's proper name is evidence of your own concerns of inferiority. You are the bullshit in this equation. Cimbalom performance beyond the standard Romani presence is a new offering. Stand down...and respect the listener's experience.
In a world where there are less and less people who play cimbalom (sorry I don't know it's english name), this video is pure gold. Very nice playing indeed. Just breathtaking.
It is called concert cimbalom if it is being played in a non-Rákóczi style - and a cimbalom (or concert cimbalom if preferred) if in that dynamic style of performance.
It amuses me some of the comments about her "making mistakes," etc. Obviously these people aren't as familiar with the original piece as they fancy themselves--the DISSONANCE you're hearing is a part of the piece and serves an artistic purpose, which she has faithfully followed. That said... wonderful performance! Loved hearing one of my favorite pieces on one of my favorite instruments.
+Alexandra Lepsy Oh not at all. There's a few mistakes which are not the grace-note half-tones written in the original. I don't think they matter at all, but thinking that there's no mistakes is delusional.
You are obviously an informed and knowledgeable aficionado of music, if not a trained musician, and your observations are accurate. Dissonance is a western phenomenon which was the results of the introduction of the tempered scale in western music (13th to 14th.century) and does not exist in other musical systems which have microtonal characteristics. Many western composers incorporated such microtonal elements in their works, especially those of eastern European origins, but this is very often misinterpreted (in the west) as sour notes or dissonance. The eastern auditory system easily reconciles these notes as part of the musical scales to which they are attuned.
This is mind blowing. I love the sound, the performance, and let's just admire every single artistic choice made by the author of this 'translation' to another instrument. Fantastic.
Bravo - I think it's wonderful that in an age where we have all of the more modern instruments, and music technology (synthesisers, computers etc) that somebody still dedicates themselves to properly playing a traditional instrument as you have done.
*****: finally someone who understands music. there are at least a hundred better cimbalom players only in Hungary, not to count Romania. I honestly can't explain all these positive comments. Probably this is their first time listening to this masterpiece.
Sebastian Gherghina People like you disgust me. You don't care about music and artists, and it's constant evolution due to, also, social context. You just care about your conception of music
This is one of my favorite pieces of music and this is the first time ever I heard it on this particular instrument. Just FANTASTIC! How can this get 38 Thumbs down?
Because people are idiots. Not only is it a wonderful piece of music, but it’s being played by a Hungarian who can actually feel the piece better than all the negative people
Wow great. I was introduced to this wonderful instrument through it's appearance in the soundtrack for The Ipcress File. Amazing instrument and nicely performed. It is already hard to play that on the piano (for me) and I got 10 fingers to use, and she is as fast with only two "mallets". That's fantastic in my opinion.
Bravo ! Votre musicalité est enthousiasmante- nous sentons la vigueur que les personnes de ce pays ont eu et...que beaucoup de hongrois cultivent encore. Vive cette interprétation ! Respects à l'artiste...
Thank-you so much. My father played and built cimbalom and wound his own strings. Brings back so many memories. Is that a Bohák? Oh to any critics... Sit down behind one of these magnificent instruments.
This sounds very similar to early fortepiano models. I wonder if Cristoforti had a hammered dulcimer in mind when thinking of the mechanism, maybe a saletio could've inspired him.
It's an interesting thought, but probably not since this piece was composed in 1847, and the cimbalom wasn't invented until 1870, 16 years before Liszt's death. I do agree, though! They do seem like they were made for each other.
Fabulous, it reminds me of the Tom & Jerry version, deliciously chaotic but with closed eyes and imagining the cartoon I find it most enjoyable 😀 Without offence: this is an impressive performance of a hideously difficult piece, it´s indeed like playing "The Liszt" with only 2 fingers: CHAPEAU to you Elisabeth !!!
Saludos de la bella Guatemala, En piano complicada, en Marimba aún más complicada, en Cimbalom me parece imposible. Congratulaciones para la interprete.
I am definitely not very knowledgeable on music theory, but I'm just using my common sense and I think those "mistakes" a lot of you mentioned are simply limitations that come with adapting a piece to a different instrument. I definitely feel a lot of notes were missing but I'm pretty sure that's just because it's not possible to play the piece as is with only two hands on this instrument. Think about Toccata and Fugue, when you adapt it to piano it's definitely gonna miss a lot of things but that's not fault of the pianist. So it comes down to what part of the original piece she chose to express. You and I may not like some of her interpretation, but that's highly subjective and personal, imho.
Precisely, this was originally written for piano (ten fingers), so many chords are incomplete when using just two hammers, so naturally there are places that sound a bit rough, as this is a complex work. So Brava!
Magnificent!!! It’s great to hear a proper classical piece rather than all those who are playing modern pop songs on Dulcimers. It looks like a big brother of the Hammered Dulcimer?
Does anybody know why this instrument is always used whenever there are movies about Sherlock Holmes or other films set in the 19th century Great Britain, and not just Britain.
No matter who took this lady's piano apart and stole the keyboard away ,she still did an excellent job with just two tiny sticks.
A cimbalom has no keyboard. :)
like Manny in the Black Books
Underrated comment :-)

Where was this may I ask?
@@lalalalee the church of St Mary Major in the 1st district of Budapest
I am sure that Liszt is smiling, you are fantastic👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍😍
I don't think the audience understands what they just witnessed. Bravo to the Master. Captivating!
Right, this must be so hard to master it is amazing.
Why do you think they don’t understand?
@@StopFear MopUp, by dismissing the audience's understanding, seeks to assert his own. Classic music gatekeeping bullshit.

unbelivable cause it s like playing the hungarian rhapsody on piano.with just two fingers..amazing couldnt imagine that would be possible..great job..
I love how you can put in so much more dynamic than you could ever achieve with a piano.
In a world where there are less and less people who play cimbalom (sorry I don't know it's english name), this video is pure gold. Very nice playing indeed. Just breathtaking.
It doesn't have an English name, but it's in the hammered dulcimer family.
It's called a cimbalom in English, but traditionally was often called the "gypsy piano." I met some French Tsiganes who still call it that.
It is called concert cimbalom if it is being played in a non-Rákóczi style - and a cimbalom (or concert cimbalom if preferred) if in that dynamic style of performance.

Well said, Chandra!
Alexandra Beach, maybe its the mode they used. I think this the Gyspsy scale. not sure
This is mind blowing. I love the sound, the performance, and let's just admire every single artistic choice made by the author of this 'translation' to another instrument. Fantastic.
It's like drumming but sounds like a piano mixed with violin! Beautiful and such skill!
Excellent observations, and right on the money!

@@SGherghina I’m not a musician but this piece brought me joy. Isn’t that the point of music?
Egy emberben mennyi tehetség van, az egész művet tátott szájjal néztem és hallgattam, Bravo!
Kudos!! She is really fluent on the cimbolem..
This is one of my favorite pieces of music and this is the first time ever I heard it on this particular instrument. Just FANTASTIC! How can this get 38 Thumbs down?
There is too full proffesional version on piano guitare accordion xylophone and flute really interested
Because people are idiots. Not only is it a wonderful piece of music, but it’s being played by a Hungarian who can actually feel the piece better than all the negative people
Wow, I wish actually amazing, worthwhile things like this had more views.
One of my favorite pieces of music very well done. And on an instrument that is not commonly used. She is indeed a master!
Nice! Didn't know that would sound so good on a Cimbalon.
Wow great. I was introduced to this wonderful instrument through it's appearance in the soundtrack for The Ipcress File. Amazing instrument and nicely performed.

and that precision 10x harder than on piano
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this awesome song on one of my favorite musical instruments . +subscribed
Amazing! Cheers from Minnesota

Was looking someone reinterpreting Liszt on a Qanun. Came here and am not disappointed
Wonderful performance!
This is awesome!
An instrument used in the late, great John Barry’s music (The Ipcress File etc.) Great to hear it playing Liszt
Szuper! Ez egy jó drága hangszer,ami így szól...!
I could not take my eyes off of you, Erzsi. This was such a treat! I have it posted to my Facebook.
Brava. That's a fine adaptation of Liszt's work, cleverly played with feeling.
Thank-you so much. My father played and built cimbalom and wound his own strings. Brings back so many memories.
Is that a Bohák?
Oh to any critics... Sit down behind one of these magnificent instruments.
MASTER!
Thank you !

Oh, so schoen gespielt! Just great :-)
This is so coooool
дуже гарно ! фантастичне виконання !
She is playing so perfect … nice in my oppinion , please peaople dont complain any more, be nice
Hungarian Rhapsody composed by Hungarian musician played on a Hungarian instrument. Thats fantastic!
Kudos! Excellent!
captured every bit of emotion . you gave it life . beautiful .
beautiful
This is very beautiful, you did a fantastic job!
WONDERFUL!!!
What an awesome woman
this is just amazing
This is really good. I love it. Reminds me of Tom and Jerry.
Fantasticno-izvodjenje na cimbalu je toliko lepo...kao da ste otskrinuli vrata raja
Gratulálok! Szép munka😘
Amazing
Gratulálok , Nagyszerű
Amazing.
magnifique
you're amazing!!
Nagyon szépen játszod. köszi hogy feltetted
Nagyon szep!
Bravo, kedvencem vagy ::D
Fantastic! Bravo !
Brilliant! Sounds better than on a piano. After all that is the sound Liszt tried to imitate.
I like this!
Thank you Małopolska MUSIEM and 3d scans ! Now I know what is Cimbalom!!! Wonderfull !!!
Wonderful!
Bravo!
Truly and artisan at work, BRAVO! 👏👏👏
Que incrível! Muito boa apresentação.
❤❤❤
Fantasztikus virtuozitás! Bravó! Köszönöm a feltöltést!
Поразительно!
Wonder if Liszt had the cymbalom in mind when he wrote his Rhapsody. The two seem made for each other.
marc roland I thinkhe did, he was a massive promoter of Hungarian music and even dressed the part when he was performing.
It's an interesting thought, but probably not since this piece was composed in 1847, and the cimbalom wasn't invented until 1870, 16 years before Liszt's death. I do agree, though! They do seem like they were made for each other.
I love Cinbalom it’s a beautiful instrument not too many people playing it
Simply superb !
This is amazing. Beautiful.
unbelievable, playing only with Two Fingers
I love you
AWESOME!!!
Amazing. Unbelievably hard to play. I wouldn’t even dare. Sax and piano are easier a lot as you have the feel under your fingers.
Ez fantasztikus.
Bravo! , Brilliant Musician
That is beautiful!
Beautiful playing

from the single instrument i can listen to the full orchestra... played with a pair of mallets only...excellent

a en pleurer d admiration merci merci un ami de romano
Adorei... (I'm Brazilian)
Cool!
Csodás!
Magnificent!!! It’s great to hear a proper classical piece rather than all those who are playing modern pop songs on Dulcimers.

Piano? I love this played on the piano- it’s hard to play!❤
Lots of right notes,too
Hű-ha! Arra gondolok, hogy Liszt Ferenc is cimbalmon álmodta meg először a Rapszódiát...............
Talent is HOT
I don’t care about mistakes made, the fact they can play most of it with mistakes is good enough for me considering it’s a hard piece to play on piano
A lot of this sounds like what Liszt probably had in mind before he wrote the piano piece.
Does anybody know why this instrument is always used whenever there are movies about Sherlock Holmes or other films set in the 19th century Great Britain, and not just Britain.
It's like playing it on the piano with 2 fingers
