This gives me the chills. Liszt is a genius.
And you are beautiful.

Finally got around to starting this piece. Liszt is quite demanding for this piece especially. Listening to an orchestra perform this had me fanboying so hard. I love this piece to death and it was performed spectacularly. All the emotions. I love this so much!
I am so glad to listen to an orchestral version of this waltz! Definitely much more dramatic dynamics than piano version with all the strings, brass and woodwinds combined. Thanks for uploading.
Gives it an eerie mood worthy of its title.
this is the original version. it’s later composed to be piano solo
@@fredericchopin6445 Hechos.
Ed Sheeran did an excellent job on the cello.
lmao
@@qalaphyll hello there
@@agolooritte3057 why hello there! i don't think we have met before, have we?
@@qalaphyll AGOL8RITTE sounds familiar? And cat with bread? Or mysigmind
@@agolooritte3057 lmao hi agolo, how are you?
i love the smiling violinist and cellist
Me too.
A tour de force performance recorded with incredible fidelity. Crystal clear in fact. It's remarkable to hear something that sounds so present on UA-cam. When I was a child my ears always perked up whenever the harp made its plucky appearance about mid way through. So it was on hearing this performance.
Nem consigo descrever onde me perco e saio do corpo toda vez que ouço essa musica. Gênio!
Nice nice job. Great performance...I wish all university orc
hestras were this good. Bravo.
Magnifique.
+Alison Ann Je suis d'accord.
Happy birthday Liszt !
Was it yesterday?
Brilliant performance!
Very good performance and a great recording, very very well do it.
Brilliantly conducted!
excellent job to transcribe the piano to the orchestra, i feel the melody towards the end with the huge climax and runs can't be felt as much with the orchestra. I still love the piece! bravo
@@fardpig4269 Why must you insult the person while also educating them? It seems like they genuinely didn’t know, yet you feel the need to assert your intellect by belittling them in the process?
It was originally composed as orchestra and then for piano
Wow! It sounds just as good as in a orchestra then on piano!
The conductor at 2:38 amazing
Amazing
+C Chang Haha, I wonder if Liszt was the same as a conductor. He was a pretty playful and fun guy, he must've had his own "stage moves"
Hadouken!
Ahahahah beautiful 😂
@@andreafilidei3071 what's beautiful in it?
0:36 started
Good playing!
surprisingly like this as much as the piano version too
Beautiful concert!
GRANDIOSSO.
My only orchestral recording of this piece is an early 1950's RCA recording of Fritz Reiner leading the Chicago Symphony. I must say this performance sounds wonderful and is played with panache and finesse. HOWEVER much I love this waltz, I cannot figure out how you would dance to it...?
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I can visualize Mephisto, by himself, bouncing and dangling like a marionette to the haunting memes of this piece, all the time with a hellish grin on his face.
Samuel Runt though, Liszt was actually extremely religious (in fact more so than Chopin who was only remotely.)
I can also picture the Walpurgis Night on both Mount Triglav and then Mount St Helens.
Bravo McGill University. Great recording also.
Yeah, I came to see if the orchestra had something the piano was 'missing' but somehow it's the other way around.
Danke schön.
que hermosa melodia
I pictured a genie witches' Sabbath on both Bald Mountain and both Mount Triglav and Mount St. Helens.
Where Pantalisilette as a genie and Mephistopheles as a genie met again at. Aladdin version of a witches' Sabbath.
I swear liszt imagined an entire orchestra and a marching army when he wrote his famous works
Bravooo!!!
Very nice! I wished they kept the tempo like the beginning
Wow
9:11 Out of control !!😂
Kacem Mephisto ?
like Denny I have the Chicago-Reiner version also but agreeable this is played well by the McGill Orchestra
What an amazing piece!
May I ask a general question to those who may know - did the orchestral or piano version come out first?
It is not known-but Liszt was very keen to publish "Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust" in tandem.
ruramikael Intresting
I don't know exactly, but I read somewhere, that he orchestrated the waltz for a big, extended orchestra, so I guess he wrote the piano version first :)
NO, it is not clear which version came first.
He wrote the orchestral version first. He then reduced it to a piano score (thankfully. It's much better for solo piano).
Theres many beautiful parts in here that the piano part seems to be unable to capture, as most people ive seen play the piano version eliminate the musicality and focus on the technicality instead
This version is a bit simplified. I'd love a 1 to 1 virtuosic arrangement for orchestra that keeps all the notes
2:35 stare at the conductor until something amazing happens
Random violin where principal cello is supposed to be... Whats up with that?
+Cameron Wong I believe that the 1st violins are to the left of the conductor and the 2nds are to the right. There is more than one violin to his right (7:54).
I see, thanks!
Liszts father was a cellist in Haydn's orchestra and he always includes solo passages, possibly as a memorial. In Adam's day, you could play the works of Haydn in his orchestra and his quartets, and Liszt seems to have been very high standard, as well as a university graduate, but you couldn't make a living to support a family unless you had a court position, so Adam became an Esterhazy estate managerand carried on the family tradition, teaching his son. Liszt's concert career helped make music into a profession, though he gave most of thre millions he made to charitable causes.
This is better on piano
ピアノとは、印象が異なりますねぇ〜
The conductor is silly as hell and I love it.
La musica del diablo...
Is this a movement from Faust symphony? Please someone
Nope. Liszt's Mephisto waltz for piano. They transcribed it for orchestra.
@@PuddintameXYZ Thank you
@@PuddintameXYZ it's originally for orchestra and then Liszt transcibed it for piano, it's most of the time like that.
@@crescenzoverdenavidacrociera whoops, that's right. Nos. 1 & 2 were originally for orchestra, and 3 & 4 originally piano.
@@PuddintameXYZ I didn t know that. I actually knew only this one was originally for orchestra. I am going to learn about all of them in depth. I think on Google I will find the informations. Thanks.
恐ろしいことに、プロのピアニストはこれをワンオペでやるんだぞ…
Much better than the piano version in my opinion. Even though I'm a pianist.
Great job ! But a bit slowly
@leflyingfrenchie lol xD
A good arrangement and performance but nothing can be the piano . Because Franz lizst originally wrote this piece for piano.
hasan fard You are quite wrong. Liszt composed Mephisto Waltz for orquestra. Later he arranged It for 4 hands. And finally the solo piano version.
Roberto Acevedo thanks for your attention. And for giving the true information about mephisto valse. Excuse me for my mistake about this piece . But believe it or not, the piano arrangement is the best.
Stars as 0:31
The sound quality of this hall is very poor. If its not that its where the mics were placed or both. I have an old LP that sounds better than this.
awful way of conducting...he goes behind the orchestra!!! he looks like an amateur...
