Ya, “mine golly ms Molly”!!! I will NEVER NEVER appreciate what it takes, not only to compose such music, but for the human mind to “DIGEST” & play this music! One has to “read” each & every note on the page, then “DIGEST” it in his head, then practice it so it becomes “second nature”, so it can come out his fingers the way the composer wanted it to!!! After ALL THAT WORK, memorizing comes easy, as it flows out his fingers, without much thought!! “Cruise control”! I don’t know of anything more amazing that the human mind has accomplished than seeing what you’ve just seen here with Mr. Boris. It’s a “SINGULAR EFFORT”, unlike a brain surgeon, where TEAMWORK is necessary to perform a complex operation! Yes, to me, the playing of this music is more amazing than brain surgery! I sit here STUNED! “Hallalujah I’m a bum”!
No one can play as Boris! Such a great technique with ease, the melody flowing and blowing! He controls his tempo his emotion, his demon's power! ii am speechless! . The best [pianist of our time Bori Berezovsky!!
This is EXTREMELY emotional playing. I am shocked that some people say he's all about 'technique', meaning accuracy and speed. I'd say it's clear he doesn't care at all about that - there are quite a few smudges here and there. This isn't nearly as pristine a performance as can be found on the internet. But does it really matter? The music is deeply emotional, it's alive, it speaks and it touches. It's not hysterical, or over-suffering; if you want that, search elsewhere. Smashing performance!
Some people complain that Berezovsky is all technique and no heart but I don't know, to me I do feel the emotion, maybe it's not the emotion others would be looking for in a piece like this but it's there nonetheless. To my ears at least. I think the fact that he's stoic makes him seem less invested when you watch him play. I like him a lot. But of course we're all entitled to our opinions.
Like liszt, he doesn't indulge in meritricious gestures. His movement at the keyboard is purposeful but effortless. The er Knutton arises from the music. If the audience want amateur dramatics they should listen to a showman like Liberace. Berezovsky always does scintillating, but it arises from intellectual engagement, not histrionics. Liszt admitted that in his early years he was showy and flamboyant, but he renounced such empty showmanship. When he saw performers flailing with their arms he'd say something like, "I haven't come here to watch you doing your washing!" He would have approved of this performance.
I agree completely. BB's technique is outstanding, phenomenal in fact, but he plays with a lot of heart. There's a directness and straightforwardness with BB. A pianist doesn't have to display lots of emotion in order to play with emotion.
Березовский играет лучше Кисина во 100 крат! Одно из лучших исполнений, в котором сохранен жанр тарантеллы, а не просто решение виртуозных задач для пианиста.
Eventhough im a fan of Berezowski I must admit There is more warmth in Kissin's version, whom remains my favorite pianist of all !!! Good interprétation overall !!!
well, I could be wrong, of course. But this is my impression. It may be that this style of playing finds a lot of acceptance to some people. For me, it is as described...
@sieurvalmont The audio is extremely, extremely compressed. This completely messes with the dynamics. The original performance would not have such strange dynamics.
Technically better than that Kissin performance that everyone claims is so great, and no more vapid. As usual, he sabotages an otherwise very good performance with his dry as sand pedaling, though this did help produce some interesting coloristic effects in the section following that ossia. I thought the canzone was way too fast, and really lacked any of the vocal qualities that it was meant to have (otherwise Liszt would not have called it a canzone). Fantastic repeated notes and chordal playing!
Really love this song... but i think for this version it was to rush and the crescendo is the fist lack of this version (maybe the setting or something like that) but still a good playing...
he really plays everything very dynamic and in an absolutly technical perfection, but in my opinion he is toooooooooo fast. i really like the performance of george bolet.
Obiously beresovzky playing liszt, are the best song ever played, but I like he play others song, 4 ex. Totentanz, Dance maqabre, moonlight 3rd movement, la campanella, etc. It would be awesome.
amazing technique, as always.... but i think that his choice of tempi and dynamics is not very good... there are parts, that he plays rather slowly and then he suddenly fastens up very much... and i start to think that he plays too "dry", some parts remind me of a bad pogorelich-performance...
I love this piece, but I believe that it requires considerable attention to the dynamics, which Berezovsky lacks in this particular performance... Either way, his technique is phenomenal. I have never seen a more focused and precise individual at the piano.
the first part is played as if it would be a competition of "how fast" and no intention of going into the deep. I really am not interested in technique-circus at the piano. Also in the rest of the piece, the fast parts are often played in a manner that sounds like "playing it away" and rushing to the finish line.
Je pense que la partie centrale de Kantsona n’en vaut pas la peine, comme si on jouait un virelangue! C'est un musicien très talentueux, mais à Tarantella, il ne convainc pas !!
I'm sorry to ask, but I can help it. Many people comment the same thing. He makes it look so easy to play..... so what? I'm listening not more than 40% of the potential of this piece, of it's musical content.
that's just technique here.where is expressivity? dont like it playing the classical piano doesn't mean that you have to play flawlessly without emotion
I agree with what you mean, but I'm not sure if it's about heart. I think you just have to find the music's meaning, the composer's intentions. In my opinion Berezovsky doesn't achieve much in that sense.
Ya, “mine golly ms Molly”!!! I will NEVER NEVER appreciate what it takes, not only to compose such music, but for the human mind to “DIGEST” & play this music!

1:14 Love how the camera just suddenly zooms in like there's an intense fighting scene xD All the intensity though!!
This is EXTREMELY emotional playing. I am shocked that some people say he's all about 'technique', meaning accuracy and speed.

Indeed! Great performance! Boris is great pianist!❤️

I agree wholeheartedly!
I agree if you see the Mephisto waltz, he plays with so much emotion you can see it in his facial expression and his interpretation.
Like liszt, he doesn't indulge in meritricious gestures. His movement at the keyboard is purposeful but effortless. The er Knutton arises from the music. If the audience want amateur dramatics they should listen to a showman like Liberace. Berezovsky always does scintillating, but it arises from intellectual engagement, not histrionics.

Yes..what a performance
He is greatest!!!
true! He is the best with Liszt! Amazing! Love him!
So sad that he does not have a concert in Europe for political reasons!
fantastic technique, fantastic control and performance
Березовский играет лучше Кисина во 100 крат! Одно из лучших исполнений, в котором сохранен жанр тарантеллы, а не просто решение виртуозных задач для пианиста.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@ОльгаКосенко-л8ъ да, получилось пошловато, сознаю....
Что-то потрясающее!!! Восторг!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
i hate how it makes this look so easy. such an amazing performer.
It isn't even the most difficult piece. I played this and it is fairly playable.
Ij my opinion one of the best performances of this masterpiece by Liszt... Control and feelings at the same time
He plays some of the really hard parts so calmly and precisely, it's beautiful to watch :)
I love Boris...he is amazing...
I love Berezovsky, you always get a sense of the effort involved when watching him play.

Absolutely love this!
grandioso!
소리 톤+음악 듣기 좋아요 ㄷㄷ
well i loved it
0:40 I simply love the way it goes
What talent.
5:20 best part
2:05 왼손 춤 느낌 제대로 표현하셨네.. 역시 베레갓
Génial
i play boogie very fast up to 240 bpm and i thought i can play the piano...but this guy is fucking incredible
U all watch kissin's version also available on youtube !
For me Kissin’s version is the only one that compares to Berezovsky’s.
@sfd1984 This is very sensitive of you. Most enlightening. I sincerely thank you.
와 너무좋다 흐규ㅠ.ㅜ 와드 박고갑니다~:)
핑와
Let me summarize the comment section for you:
50% [He plays with no emotion.]
50% [He plays with emotion]
You're welcome
와 미쳤다진짜...
ㄹㅇ 베레조프스키는 다 좋아요
thanks for these, i wanted to go to the festival, but couldn't
WOW
I heard Kissin, Cziffra, Hamelin etc.. many player's tarantella. But this play is the best. It is very accurate and very tension too.
와우
Fenesta Vascia! *_*
미쳣ㄴ아....
@GL3NE I exactly AGREE with You! :)
Очень сложное произведение, и превосходное исполнение.
@twooffour i didn say that he does, actually
2:00 beautiful melody
Eventhough im a fan of Berezowski I must admit There is more warmth in Kissin's version, whom remains my favorite pianist of all !!!
Good interprétation overall !!!
Heureusement qu'il y a eu un Liszt , pour un Bérézovsky ...
большинство иностранцев не понимают......
играет он НАМНОГО ЛУЧШЕ ЧЕМ МНОГИЕ И БОЛЬШИНСТВО!!!!
И НЕ СУДИТЕ - ДА НЕ СУДИМЫ БУДЕТЕ!!!
well, I could be wrong, of course. But this is my impression. It may be that this style of playing finds a lot of acceptance to some people. For me, it is as described...
@sfd1984 As much as I love natural dynamics, I compress all my classical music for listening in the car.
effortless
This guy make it look so easy yet its extremely hard :P.
와.. 미쳤다.. 베레초프스키는 사람아 아니야..
@Barbapippo unfortunately being his brother, I wish we had have done.
Very dry audio though. Still nobody beats Josef Hofman on this piece
@sfd1984 Ok why do people say you cant hear the crescendo, when you can perfectly hear it? :|
@sieurvalmont The audio is extremely, extremely compressed. This completely messes with the dynamics. The original performance would not have such strange dynamics.
@sfd1984 Audio engineers shouldn't mess with that!
So sad his career ended as it did. Boris Berezovsky 1969-2022.
5:19 'o'

Totally agree with you 100%.
Really love this song...

Uhmazing.

Buenisima interpretacion.Creo que la parte emotiva , de una obra,sin una perfecta tecnica,no es muy lucida.
the first part is played as if it would be a competition of "how fast" and no intention of going into the deep. I really am not interested in technique-circus at the piano. Also in the rest of the piece, the fast parts are often played in a manner that sounds like "playing it away" and rushing to the finish line.

I'd Like to tell him, "Please to record yourself playing liszt totentanz" D:
7분대 미쳤넼ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He looks so easy to play this piece
I'm sorry to ask, but I can help it. Many people comment the same thing. He makes it look so easy to play..... so what? I'm listening not more than 40% of the potential of this piece, of it's musical content.
OOH he is playing it too fast the subito piano have to be really cleared and be really in harmony of what it was and what is now
that's just technique here.where is expressivity? dont like it
playing the classical piano doesn't mean that you have to play flawlessly without emotion
I found this disappointing. Second half just too fast.
Думаю что среднюю часть канцону.не стоит так .как будто бы скороговорку сыграть! Он очень талантливый музыкант.но в Тарантелле он не убеждает!!
TOO hard in the middle section
Sorry but where is his heart?
Oh i'm sure you can play better. Stupid peasant.
Thanks for the offense. I think you could have the same problem, oh great master.
+Elia Langiu Moan moan complain complain i hate this waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
I agree with what you mean, but I'm not sure if it's about heart. I think you just have to find the music's meaning, the composer's intentions. In my opinion Berezovsky doesn't achieve much in that sense.
I'd say mechanics instead of technique. If you really have a good technique you would achieve the best musical results.
No plz
Yes, and he managed to ruin it with that stupid staccato in the left hand... what a wastw of talent and mechanical ability
everybody in the back looks like a fake
sorry, but.. awful interpretation
2:05 beautiful melody
