Honestly, as a younger guy with a rather… complicated relationship with the metal genre, I feel like this piece resonates with me because it embodies the sort of dark energy that I like in metal while avoiding the most obnoxious elements that are unfortunately all too common in it.
Valentina Lisitsa plays, and without any notes, my favorite piece by Liszt, the Totentanz,a paraphrase on Dies Irae. Miss, they should call you LISZTica :-). Bravo! Walentyna Lisica gra jak z nut, ale bez nut, mój ulubiony utwór Liszta, Totentanz, parafrazę Dies Irae. Pani Walentyno, powinni Cię zwać LISZTica :-). Brawo!
Compare this version with IGOR ROMA 's version in the Finale of the LISZT CONCOURS in 1996 in Utrecht, The Netherlands (of course he won FIRST PRIZE) : Unfortunately in 2 parts: Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/i-Tc0btaNPw/v-deo.html Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/aW9657uqeDI/v-deo.html Possibly one of the most intense and powerful versions.

J'adore cette artiste capable aussi bien de jouer sur un piano droit pour les gens de la rue que sur un piano à queue dans les grandes salles pour un public averti, avec le même amour !!!
Лучшее исполнение этого произведения для меня. Еще Марта Агрерих очень шикарно так играет! Но без этой записи выше всё равно мне лично чего-то не хватало бы)) Да Валентина просто создана для исполнения Листа! И отдельно про качество... По мне, здесь оно такое, какое и должно быть. Все ноты можно услышать. Акустика зала - звучит грандиозно. Как и должно такому Танцу. В других версиях опять же... Часто записано так, как будто рояль звучит глуховато что ли. А здесь он прямо разливается акустикой. 16 минут удовольствия, сравнимого с самыми приятными ощущениями, которые можно испытать! Спасибо, Валентина!))) P.s. ну и про темп некоторые говорят, что здесь он как будто быстрый очень. А по-моему Листу бы это очень понравилось. Какое-то сумасшествие что ли здесь весьма уместно на мой взгляд. Это ведь тема смерти всё же. Техника у Валентины богоподобная (или дьявольская) - для этого произведения ооочень подходит. Послушал версию Мацуева. После этого видео как-то не воспринял. Нет того уносящего полета там что ли.
Exceptional! I loved the balance between soloist and orchestra. This is the finest performance I've heard, and I've listened to many versions of this piece. Valentina is magnificent. Brava!
In a word; "Intense"!!! In four words; "That was Bad Ass"!!! Bottom Line; "She Shredded that piano"!!! Laying all jokes aside; "A Great Compilation" !!!! Love You, Mean It; Valentina :)
wtf this piece is so hard yet her hands flung around hit notes correctly. I have been playing piano for long but cant never imagine what league is Lisitsa XD
Brian Abrom The Dies Irae is a very old chant from the Mass For The Dead. As you note, it has been used extensively over the centuries in various contexts- none, however, as wild and complex as this.
... mio Dio... 💙 Quando la musica di Liszt si sposa con le dita di Valentina... nascono esseri ineffabii che fanno impallidire e vergognare l'intero Creato.
Once Liszt told a student who was playing the héroïque polonaise: "I don't care how fast you can play those octaves - I want to hear horses galopping menacingly". Totentanz - death laughing and dancing in our face. At first it seems like he is dancing alone, but soon enough we join him without being conscious of it. And rather than being afraid, we will come to realise that without him we could not be. V. Lisitsa is a good pianist, but to my ears the only really inspired performance of this piece is that of Michelangeli. Cheers!
P.S. I came thinking it would be boring and may have needed to read a book throughout! Boy was I wrong. One second it started, the next, it was finished! Very good!
first time I've heard this with an orchestra. not to my taste. much prefer the 14:53 studio version---- would be embarrassed to admit how many times I've listened to/watched that version. i've also seen 2 live performances of hers. However the piano solo parts are very nice.
Ed Herold Don't be embarrassed. I love her solo version just as much as the orchestra version because it is as challenging. The amount of views and audience engagement of her solo version over the years has taken a life of it's own. Although I was so intrigued to actually see what the Orchestra version sounded like and a bigger blessing to see Val be apart of it.
Είναι μια παράφραση του μεγάλου Liszt πάνω στο "Dies Irae" καθιερωμένο στα Requiem από τον 14ο αιώνα. Θα συναντήσουμε το ίδιο ΔΥΝΑΤΟ μοτίβο, στα Γρηγοριανά Μέλη, στο 5ο μέρος της Φανταστικής Συμφωνίας (1830) του Berlioz, στην παρούσα σύνθεση (1838-1849), στο Requiem (1878) του Saint-Saens (μετά το 6ο λεπτό)...
This is sooo impressive! I personally think that if you look at the date of the concert and take in consideration the pianist's views and what was happening that time - which fully corresponds the topic and name of the piece being played - you will probably understand her emotions behind this rendition. My observation only, not trying to impose any point of view.
@@derickyyy Totentanz literally means "Dance of the deadmen", the concert is about a week after the start of military clashes in Eastern Ukraine between coup-d'etat government in Kiev with far-right views and pro-Russian rebels. Lisiza being a Russian from Ukraine publicly supported pro-Russian forces in social media and was even banned from some concert programs with North American orchestras for that. 7 years afterwards I personally believe that all parties involved in the conflict, including Kiev, Washington, Kremlin, EU, pro-Russian rebels and far-right Ukrainian nationalists were (and are) badasses and motherf*ckers, including the most involved US-politican and the now POTUS Joe Biden of course, but back that days of course all Russians supported the rebels.
Obviously, Rachmaninoff was familiar with this piece when he composed the Paganini variations. Never heard it on radio, wonder why. Had the record ages ago (Alexander Brailowsky?)
:) Danke : "Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet Dort oben wunderbar, Ihr goldenes Geschmeide blitzet, Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar. Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme Und singt ein Lied dabei; Das hat eine wundersame, Gewaltige Melodei." :)
+Istari Pallando Wow... you wrote a sentence that was genuinely unintelligible due to a typo (or two; even with a comma it still doesn't exactly make sense) and you're upset with him for trying to clarify? Yeesh.
This piece should be always play twice. On the first try you have never have right amount of feelings. I thought this is most difficult song to play ever not only for manual skills but actually for this extraordinary amount of so different feelings. This one is best i know but always is some things that was lost.
She's basically playing the piano solo part with all the complicated passages but she adjusted it herself for orchestra like she in not playing the piano and orchestra version it is different!

I love how the pianist is playing this really loud, dark piece in a giant pink tule dress
LOL ! Loved your comment!
Yeah, that's because she's Valentina Lisitsa!
Schubert + Liszt + Lisitsa = Perfection
Actually, Valentina combines the piano solo version with the orchestral version in a number of spots like 8:46 to 9:40. It's pretty effective.
Liszt - the first metal head
No actually...vivaldi...
The first metal composer was Paganini.
A lot of baroque, classical and romantic musicians were metal head before it existed lol
But this belongs to best of metal head - in my opinion.
@@robertoruiz366 Liszt was the piano-Paganini
Probably my favourite piece by Liszt.
You'll love his faust and dante symphony if you really like this piece! :D
@@Enrobdoolb Totentanz and the piano sonata are my personal favorites thanks for the recommendations
What was going on in Liszt life when he wrote this piece? Awesome piece. Awesome performance.
Devilishly Beautiful! LISZT: the ingenious master composer LISITSA: the masterful performer
Honestly, as a younger guy with a rather… complicated relationship with the metal genre, I feel like this piece resonates with me because it embodies the sort of dark energy that I like in metal while avoiding the most obnoxious elements that are unfortunately all too common in it.

I've heard a lot of recordings of this--Argerich, Hamelin, among others. But Lisitsa owns this piece.
No she doesn't XD Kilenyi is was better for example
@@nihilistlemon1995 she owns the solo version
She owns it
But Argerich and Hamelin own everything else 😂
Now that I look at it, it looks like the piano and the orchestra are having a really bad arguement.
play it better then
Franz Liszt now that I look at it, both of you two are arguing again.
yeah, those children
Franz Liszt crossover
Lol

Самое лучшее исполнение !!! Слушаю уже месяц каждый День. Просто великолепно!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍😱😱😱
holy shit that piano playing is out of this fucking world
Valentina! -brillantes Spiel, mit Leichtigkeit und Stark, etwas besseres gibt es nicht,-weltmeisterlich!!!
Hören Sie mal die Aufnahmen mit Benedetti-Michelangeli! Nach wie vor unübertroffen.
wtf this piece is so hard yet her hands flung around hit notes correctly. I have been playing piano for long but cant never imagine what league is Lisitsa XD
I'm not a classical music buff, but I've heard parts of this particular piece in the background of old horror movies, of course, without the piano.
Brian Abrom The Dies Irae is a very old chant from the Mass For The Dead. As you note, it has been used extensively over the centuries in various contexts- none, however, as wild and complex as this.
Sonorous as you can, in live recording I think this one stands out to me the most, piano is so crisp. :D
This was like running 100 mp for 16 minutes.
Fantastique,quelle précision et quelle émotion !
C’est vraiment une très grande pianiste !
Brilliant brilliant brilliant
The man was a pioneer
Absolute genius
Bravo! Bravo! Bellissimo! Fantastico!

Quando la musica di Liszt si sposa con le dita di Valentina... nascono esseri ineffabii che fanno impallidire e vergognare l'intero Creato.
Really nice camerawork. Also, loved seeing the passionate expressions on the pianist's face.
The creases over the eyes were a little bit off putting sometimes.
Friedrich Hueppe well, close your eyes and just listen
Well, fair enough. After all, Barenboim said that to an extent you shouldn't judge a piece of music by the choreography of the players.
@@FredHMusic-gr7nu No need for alarm; Those are just the piano keys inside her head trying to get out through her forehead.

No existe algo mejor, que el sentimiento y buen olor de una mujer. Valentina Lisitsa es increíble.

Her fingers move so fast!!! 0.0
Fantásticooooo, magistral!!!!!
Maravilloso, gracias por compartir
7:39 Watch and weep heavy metal musicians!
Outstanding!
My mind is blown-superlative!
She's playing the piano solo version with the orchestra
Diabolicamente magistral...
11:13 is she purposefully hitting “wrong” notes in the right hand to make the A’s stand out more? If that is intentional, she’s a genius
Magnifico‼️‼️💐
Is this what demon summoning ritual sounds like?
Listen to the piano solo version it sounds more haunting
Wow!
That's the spirit!
P.S. I came thinking it would be boring and may have needed to read a book throughout! Boy was I wrong. One second it started, the next, it was finished! Very good!

Immensa e stupenda Valentina
Era como decir el "Havy Metal" de mediados del siglo 19; la era inmediata post Beethoven - Paganini
Paganini inventó el heavy metal.
The piano part seems to be a mix of the concertante and the solo version..........
Wonderful performance. Deserved those kisses at the ending
Did Stanley Kubrick sample this for the opening music of The Shining? The motif sounds awfully similar.
