“Brendan Kinsella presented the concert ‘Lisztomania’ on a date that could be daunting, October 22nd, 2011, the actually 200th birth anniversary of Franz Liszt, but you will hear that it didn’t seem to faze him at all. In fact, he attacked one of Liszt’s more famous transcriptions [Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, op. 67] with the passion and energy that Liszt required.”
-Bill Baker, host of Syracuse Public Radio’s “Concert Hall”.
“An amazing pianist.”
-The Houston Chronicle
“Pianist Brendan Kinsella did a great job of breathing life into arrangements [Radiohead-O’Riley transcriptions] that, in lesser hands, might deflate ever so slightly.”

"A sensitive musician with an ear for color”
-The Cincinnati Enquirer
A dedicated teacher, Brendan presently serves as Professor of Piano at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley School of Music, where he teaches applied piano, chamber music, piano pedagogy, and piano literature.

Stravinsky: "Danse russe" from Trois mouvements de Petrouchka
Purely for fun and the challenge...
I learned this in grad school and am tempted to try it again. The only thing is that it gets harder as it goes. :)

Practice version of op. 10 #3. Just memorized this today (and it shows). In the middle section, you'll hear some slightly different notes - this is what exists in Chopin's original autograph as well as many first editions. I prefer it to what we're used to hearing. Up next: op. 10 #4 and op. 25 #7 to complete the set I'm working on.

The Technicolor Highway: Selections from Philip Glass' Etudes for Piano
Переглядів 2308 місяців тому
Recorded for the Encuentro de Pianistas at the Universidad de Costa Rica. Following in the tradition of Debussy, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Ligeti, Glass’ Etudes explore a vast range of virtuoso piano techniques. As thundering as they are intimate, the emotional content in the music is equally wide, and many can be best described by Rachmaninoff’s moniker: Etudes-Tableaux. Siguiendo la tradició...

Fantastic performance
I had the privilege of briefly studying with Dr. Rodriguez- one of the most undercelebrated composers of concert music, A TRULY GREAT COMPOSER & lovely person❤
Great technique!
Hi Brendan, are you around? Do you still have your original .exe file of JFK: Reloaded v1.0? It has been scrubbed off the web since the early 2000s, and I wanted to archive the game. I hope you are doing well!!
Fantastic performance
Fantastic performance 🎹👏
Great talent and Like
Delicious performance 🎹👏
Bravo!
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing, Brendan, lovely!
Wow you’re in awesome shape bro
Wonderful job, Brendan :)
This is awesomely intense interpreted! Very nice! 👏🏻 Subbed to your channel 👍🏻🎶
Emeginize saglik..çok guzel.
Exquisite!!
Bastante aceptable su interpretación.
esecuzione troppo meccanica...senza anima ne' espressivita!
the cold plains is filled with rogue scouts and uber uniques
I always got killed by Blood Raven.
Beautiful!
Op 25 no 2 sounds quite high level with the successful layering of the LH and RH voices. I realize there's debate on the rhythm in this piece but I think it's important the right hand avoids sounding like 3 groups of 2 eighth notes which you pulled off, and I hear the LH slurs. Revolutionary also seems ready to go for stage performance. I think for op 25 no 1, not a criticism but an general observation that this etude in particular seems to have a homogeneous interpretation so everyone, basically all the pros, ends up observing the same common rubato and climactic points. I liked Mark Hambourg's interpretation of this a lot and that might be a cool one to consider taking some ideas from. Op 10 no 1, I think the ascending parts have great potential for pro level performance. If the descending parts can be brought up another 5% I think you have a very professional op 10 no 1 on your hands. But I feel the descending parts are the most brutal to polish, the hand/arm always feels very janky when I try to work on it.
Will u marry me?
Please, coud you post your interpretation of sonata in b minor by franz liszt. Please, please, please,
This just ruined my day 👍
Some beautiful rachmaninoff playing! Can I get your autograph???
Need to see your permission slip from Mr. M first.
Amazing!
Bach is Bach and not Kinsella😅
Would prefer interpretation of Bach with less extra ornamentation i.e. on the trills. 😢
We already have a ton without so why not?
This is…. Mammoth ❤
Great job! What are you planning to improve next? I'm working on that piece as well, also asking myself a question if I should even playing this piece... My main struggle is the voicings of these figurated upwards and downwards scales in development.
Hey, thanks! Well, having finished learning the notes for the other two movements, I'm mostly working on endurance since it's clocking in near 38-40 minutes. Aside from that, the problems I'm facing with this movement include making it more cohesive (especially in the development), trying to find better/longer phrasing, and also working on the voicings like you mentioned. I think the technical stuff is mostly there thanks to lots of slow practice.
Yes, definitely you have the technical stuff covered and very good ideas in this performance (and awesome turning pages skill, I just had to memorise it). I learnt a lot by watching it. I hope you will post a full performance of this work once you feel ready! It's so underrated piece that deserves more recordings...
Wonderful 👏🏻
So glad you’re doing this-sounds good!!
Mendelssohn’s friend Robert Schumann, with his lifelong passion for literature, was entranced by Manfred. When in 1852 Liszt held a reading of the poem, Schumann wrote an overture and incidental music for it, with some pieces underscoring the text, transforming it into ‘melodrama’. He told Liszt that he considered the overture one of his ‘most powerful children’.
Glass is such a treasure. Wonderful performance and tempi. Thank you
Beautiful! I should listen to more Glass!
Everyone should.

Background: about once per year or so, the neighborhood cats deliver their litter in this planter in my backyard. I saw these cuties a few days ago, and as of today the mother relocated them. I billed her insurance.
What's the point?
lmao! Loved it, your left foot was harnessing the spirit of Beethoven. Please never change.
Bravo-wonderful performance!!
Revelatory...as if rediscovered.
