- Alfred Grünfeld's Soirée de Vienne, a famous concert paraphrase on Johann Strauss II's Fledermaus. Live performance by Arnaldo Cohen, who I prefer over Kissin, Grünfeld and all other recordings I've heard. Cohen takes lots of liberties during the performance, therefore the markings and the notes in the score tend to be inaccurate.
A wonderful performance of a pianist undeservedly little known, thanks. His Liszt is really splendid too. And more to the theme, among living pianists I also love Buchbinder's version...
Yeah definitely no bots the two of you
charming and elegant interpretation, full of virtuosity
lush and imaginitive. I liked the liberties he took with the score!
kinda unrelated but whats the most exciting piano piece you've heard this year?
Beautiful interpretation !
The chandelier lit rooms, the trailing gowns, the anguish concealed behind smiles, the velvet-trimmed furniture, the strongly scented salons and the swooning effervescent appeal of a Viennese matinee.... this is its purest evocation and form.....
Bravo, an excellent work played with great technical fortitude by Mr Cohen - I have him playing the solo Liszt Totentanz and until hearing this performance, have always considered his playing a little on the light side...
Playful interpretation! I love it! ^_^
Excellent!! you inspire younger pianists!!
Great piece!
Wonderful!
Maravilhoso!!!!

I was looking for the titles of 1:55 and 3:30 and found the answer here. Thank you very much!!
Супер
Глядя на ноты, я не представляю, как ТАКОЕ можно вообще исполнить. Пальцев не хватит! 😂👍
Fantastic!!
Is there any one know that what is the original waltz start from 3:00? Thank you so much. I really want to know that where does it come from.
Wein, weib und gesang, op 333
Amazing do you have this score in pdf?

Very fun.... with a Horowitzian ending!

La campanella at 2:58 ?

@Egg MCMUFFIN only if you think the composers intentions are frozen once and for all in the score.
Brazilian Pianist

A rather charming transcription, most winningly played. Godowsky's transcription is obviously better-written though.
you mean 'over-written'. I find this way better.
Godowsky wrote a fantasy based on themes from Strauss' Die Fledermaus, not a transcription. A transcription stays true to the order of sections, melody, harmony, and, when possible, texture of the original work. The Grünfeld work is not a transcription either.
Compare this to the infinitely more complex paraphrase by Godowsky.
Godowsky's is more of a fantasy than a paraphrase.
This is a great arrangement,... Then came along a bored Cziffra
Vous auriez pu éviter ce genre de commentaire.
Cziffra's arrangement is too much and heavy to digest . Not one of his best tbh
Disappointing, because Cohen is a good pianist. Now I realize this is fluff music and a performer has a wider latitude to "play" with it to his own taste, but what's the point of disobeying dynamics and tempo indications to the point where it destroys the line and phrases don't make sense. And on a basic level Cohen thinks he's being crafty by turning on the rubato, but it's obvious he just slows down when it gets hard. Not his best work. Terrific piece though, I wish he'd played it with more musical integrity.
How awful. This Cohen is snuffing the music out with his twisted caricature of Strauss.
THANK YOU!!! I completely agree with you and can’t tell you how disheartened I was by this performance.... yes...... We can all get a little out of whack when performing an encore after a concerto or program recital.... but this goes above and beyond destroying a BEAUTIFUL transcription.
@@rickalessi7490 Sorry, but I beg to differ.
to each their own, but...... I don't prefer interpretations of things bereft of musicality, for the sake of showmanship.... I mean... motifs were not only completely neglected, but MANGLED... Have you ever actually listened to strauss? What of his did you ACTUALLY hear in this?!
@@rickalessi7490 Consequentially, I agree with your point in which Strauss's motifs were mangled within the work. However, it is a paraphrase. Cohen, unlike Kissin, takes liberties to express the waltz-like character of the piece. Henceforth, the dissonances are created.
Really bad performance.
