It’s not only the fact that this is an incredible interpretation: he’s cool as a cucumber and relaxed to the limits while showcasing utmost virtuosity! I don’t know if I’d able to be to interpret it as good with the adequate technique and practice, but I know that I definitely wouldn’t be as relaxed eitherway.
@I'mNotWatchingTheVideo ThE vIdEo Is WaTcHiNg mE! I have to say thanks for you two, this give me more information about Liszt, and i discovered Sigismond just now
Themes: 1.- (Grave) il commentatore : "A cenar teco, m' invitaste, e son venuto" 2.- (Duetto) Don Giovanni - Zerlina : "La ci darem la mano" Var. I - Var. II 3.- (Presto) Don Giovanni : "Fin ch'han dal vino, calda la testa, una gran festa fa preparar" Don Giovanni, the best opera of all time. Thanks Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Liszt and Lang Lang.
This recording and his recording of the Wanderer Fantasy convinced me that Lang Lang is actually a top tier pianist when he's not busy being Chinese Liberace.
I mean his interpretations of Liszt are very nice, I don’t know what I can say about him playing Chopin.(personal preference for that) anyways... I like Liszt as my favorite composer, what about you?
13:52 - 14:01 Dat leggiero! I really think this part actually sounds a lot better without flooding it with the pedal. Kudos to Lang Lang though: his interpretation and execution of this piece worked really well in his favor.
This is mind blowing!!! I've never heard such a display of technique endurance and perfection! LL holds the whole piece very well together whilst in the hands of most pianist you feel as if they play 3 or 4 different compositions when playing this piece (Bolet's interpretation is the best from this point of view imho). This is an epic performance which will remain for years as a point of reference for this piece
@@MegaPianogenius bro, Lang Lang is Chinese, the reason they look up to him is cause he's Chinese. Who cares if one can play more demanding pieces, who they choose to look up to is their right, not yours
I hate Lang Lang on everything else, but Liszt and specifically this piece is specially made for him. One of the best piano performances in the history of piano.
the secret to play liszt right is to play loudly, as much as you can,. f,ff, fff around, crescendo, then suddenly drop it quietly in no time. You did it !
Computer Addict the clochette Fantasie is more difficult also his b moll sonata and other opera fantasies.. feux follets or mazeppa are easy .. check his S.140
@@cme1447 His B minor sonata is easier than the transcendantal. My teacher play the sonata and transcendantal n.10. And she says n10 is harder. She plays reminiscence de Norma but still, transcendantals are harder. And dont ever say transcendantals are easy pls x)
@Qafar Quluzade amazing. Yes, i am very very tall !! And i think my hands are very big, too. Do you want see me playing? And i will show my body while playing
Everything everyone says below (well, I haven't read all 232 comments) is absolutely right, BUT (!!) LL misses out a crucial part of the piece at 15:28. It should go back to the dark mood of the opening here, before the final flourish. And it's criminal to miss it out! What a pity; ruins an otherwise sensational performance (see below). Where is this, by the way? Carnegie?
I have seen a couple years ago Lang Lang playing the same Reminisences on Arte (French/German cultural TV channel) and he was much better, very much better !
I'm not a fan of Lang Lang, I see so many haters on the internet too. so to all the haters that say he is nothing but technique and blah blah blah... check out the fully Technique based pieces like this and enjoy his dynamics while you shut your complainer mouth for the rest of your life :-)
No idea what musicalidea said. I suppose he/she couldn't figure out what to write. I think Lang Lang does Liszt more service than any living performer. Lots of rubato (too much? Nah) never lets the complexities, the blistering tempi, the six or eight things going on at once, get in the way of a melody, of vital phrasing, of interpretation, even schmaltz. Wouldn't work for Bach (any of them). But, wow. "-Ehh... Franz Liszt? No, he ain't here doc.-" B. Bunny
Mi ha meravigliato ascoltare dai Proms di Londra una sonata di Mozart strabiliante (degna della migliore Lilli Kraus) e la nota Grande Polacca brillante di Chopin ( mai eseguita così brillantemente ) BRAVO Lang Lang .
I think this is one of the most perfect performance in 21 century
I would hasten to agree
It’s not only the fact that this is an incredible interpretation: he’s cool as a cucumber and relaxed to the limits while showcasing utmost virtuosity!

i like hamelin's interpretation more
try hamelin. both great
Incredible!
Lang Lang is truly Liszt more than Chopin. I think this performance is one of the perfect performance for Don Juan. Absolutely great.
Hyunmin Kim 김현민 I agree, I hate him play Chopin but I was astonished for this piece
@I'mNotWatchingTheVideo ThE vIdEo Is WaTcHiNg mE! hb Alkan? Didn't Liszt admit he had finer technique?
@I'mNotWatchingTheVideo ThE vIdEo Is WaTcHiNg mE! I have to say thanks for you two, this give me more information about Liszt, and i discovered Sigismond just now
I think this is his early 20 live.
Let's not damn forget, Chopin was a man of simplicity and beauty!
Themes:
1.- (Grave) il commentatore : "A cenar teco, m' invitaste, e son venuto"
2.- (Duetto) Don Giovanni - Zerlina : "La ci darem la mano"
Var. I - Var. II
3.- (Presto) Don Giovanni : "Fin ch'han dal vino, calda la testa, una gran festa fa preparar"
Don Giovanni, the best opera of all time.
Thanks Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Liszt and Lang Lang.
Marisa Urruti Turandot is probably the best opera of all time
Nah. Lucia 💜
@@TheModicaLiszt I'd say it's possibly Tosca
Marriage of figaro is also amazing
Don giovanni is epic, but I like Beethoven's Fidelio and Liszt's Don sanche more. But I love this piece more than these operas.
I'm personally not a huge fan of Lang Lang, but this piece he gets right.
+Leo T Same
my sentiments exactly
Leo T so right on the rhythm
This recording and his recording of the Wanderer Fantasy convinced me that Lang Lang is actually a top tier pianist when he's not busy being Chinese Liberace.
Yes indeed and it is dating back to a time when he did not consider himself as a 'pop idol' !
That was absolutely phenomenal. Best version for this piece ever. Lang Lang is awesome.
Emil von sauer, Hamelin.....
I never fell for LangLang's interpretation, but I admit that this piece was done insanely well
Liszt is his favorite composer.
I don't know. Really?
I mean his interpretations of Liszt are very nice, I don’t know what I can say about him playing Chopin.(personal preference for that) anyways... I like Liszt as my favorite composer, what about you?
Is that so？
liszt is my favorite composer
@@amgx9670 same
14:30 I love this part
me too
김동준 yeah~~
김동준 Piano tiles 2... sry
Yeah
he's the only one who can evoke this sort of feeling and level of energy from this part, among other parts. No recording in existence comes close.
i dont like all his performances but this performance is a huge middle finger to everyone who has anything bad to say about him.
nezkeys79 I agree
Be quiet.
@@jackmarentette1302 :(
Nice middle finger. love it
he nailed hr.6
Very enjoyable virtuoso playing and a lot of interesting phrasing and dramaturgical surprises!!!! Really good!
Masterpiece among masterpiece
Very colorful interpretation. One of the best renditions of this piece I think

I very much agree . But the musical value is not so great for me.
Lang Lang my absolute favorite pianist! I hope his arm is better as I have not heard whether he will be playing at Tanglewood.
This is the epitome of performance arts. It would be extremely difficult for anyone in history or future to top this.
Trust me
If you are as virtuosic as him
You show off every time as well
least amount of hate comments i've ever seen on a Lang Lang video
A lot of people do not always agree with his theatrics, but he absolutely deserves praise for this performance.
:-)
yes
Can of Soda I love you. You’re my favorite. I just want to kiss you. Slurp you up. Your insides. I will always love you. You’re the best soda
@Mathews196 h
I love his performance
Absolutely perfect!
It's incredible! Learning piano in our Chinese people will use Lang Lang as an idol！
诸星团 use Marc andre hamelin he plays far more technically demanding pieces with ease
@@MegaPianogenius bro, Lang Lang is Chinese, the reason they look up to him is cause he's Chinese. Who cares if one can play more demanding pieces, who they choose to look up to is their right, not yours
Lang Lang interprets this piece so well.
Starting from 14:29, this gives me so much joy while listening every time
12:50 till end ❤❤
My mum was wondering why I was kneeling in front of the computer
This is my third favourite Liszt piece next to Gnomenreigen (1st) and Sonata in B Minor (2nd).
Truly a perfect performance from Lang Lang 💯
I hate Lang Lang on everything else, but Liszt and specifically this piece is specially made for him. One of the best piano performances in the history of piano.

Incredible he’s a genius
WOW! Gotta give credit where credit is due!!!
Absolute perfection
Another force of nature
This is one of the most difficult Liszt's pieces
The most* with Feux follets and Mazeppa maybe

Patrick Nyman his most difficult work is grande etude no.4 original version. Don’t even try
Spanish fantasy
he enjoyed very much!
really incredible!
This is the reason he plays with Berlin Philharmonic, LSO and RCO despite of seas of haters.
Il n'y a que toi pour jouer aussi bien ce morceau quelque peu tout en contrastes Tu restes le meilleur ‐🥰🥰🥰
perfect , flawless
The best version
14:29 the crazy octaves bass.......
it's very intense
not even close to those of Horowitz
@@basilershov5075 i would say very comparable.
ua-cam.com/video/JI6JfJXcUjU/v-deo.html
EVEN FASTER LOL, genuinely confused af lol
@@basilershov5075 could you please give a link to his recording since i cant find any :(
Marvellous!!!!
Mind blowing !!!
Perfect
Felicitaciones !!!!,,🎉👏👏👏 15:38
This interpretation is fucking mindblowing!!! =P
incredible
how fast were his chromatic thirds?
OMG.. So Amazing
全程跪着听完
Amazing
O M G !!!! This is another l e v e l what part you don't understand
@Qafar Quluzade well..i play some piano, and i am very tall! Do u want see me playing?
@Qafar Quluzade amazing. Yes, i am very very tall !! And i think my hands are very big, too. Do you want see me playing? And i will show my body while playing
@Qafar Quluzade for example, i am twice as tall as lang lang. But i think he plays 2 times (twice) better than me.
@A SEVENTH? NO? and i ride very well motorcicles...as you see on this video. Tomorow i will play some piano for you
He's personification of Po from kingfu panda. Mastered the art of piano kungfu
Haha, he actually imagined himself as a kungfu master growing up
Piano dragon warrior maybe?
Haha this made me smile :) thank you
this dude is crazy
2:46 to 2:51... those ascending and descending thirds at that tempo would be insanely hard.
I don't think so.
It's not that hard ( if you practice it )
haha
+佐々木絵莉奈 STFU
That's not the hardest part of this piece. Not even close.
Wow...crazy tempo...!!
確かに
I like the way he used pedal.
내가 좋아하는곡이 아닌데
랑랑덕분에 좋아질려고하네
great performence
0:00-3:00
1:57 11:30
7:35-9:13
J'adore Litz et ta sublime interprétation 😊
Liszt would be proud
0.32 sound a little bit like transcendental etude n.6
superb
Ich meine es als Lob, wenn ich behaupte, er ist der Kasperl der Pianisten. Für alle Interessierten empfehle ich die Interpretation von Tiffany Pool!
That swipe at 9:55 tho
15:25 skipped like 4 measures?
Yes, he did. Some pianists do but apparently no one knows why....
@@yafetpalomeque75 It's horrible when they do that. So unnecessary.
@@yafetpalomeque75 Probably because it takes away the "momentum" of that virtuosic final run of octaves. Or at least they feel that way.
tql！bravo！

12:58
Franz liszt is god of music
I clapped at home. What a fucking awesome performance
13:29
don't forget to listen to Louis Kentner who still has one of the most beautifully balanced performances
I have seen a couple years ago Lang Lang playing the same Reminisences on Arte (French/German cultural TV channel) and he was much better, very much better !
Much better than this performance, by anyone, cannot exist.

LangLang=Liszt !!!
이 연주는 랑랑과 아주 잘 어울리는 연주라고 본다.
Waiting for Yundi Li to make a comeback - using the (equally difficult) Norma parahprase! :)
Norma is not as technically difficult but more musically difficult.
李云迪甚至弹不了钟
No idea what musicalidea said. I suppose he/she couldn't figure out what to write.
I think Lang Lang does Liszt more service than any living performer. Lots of rubato (too much? Nah) never lets the complexities, the blistering tempi, the six or eight things going on at once, get in the way of a melody, of vital phrasing, of interpretation, even schmaltz. Wouldn't work for Bach (any of them). But, wow.
"-Ehh... Franz Liszt? No, he ain't here doc.-"

14:29 is what happens when you are on drugs while playing this
The question is, can you play it like him WITHOUT being on drugs 🤔.. not sure 😅
@@sbareg do u even understand what i was tryna say
@@amgx9670 yes of course ^^ I just meant that this piece is so hard to play that drugs are advised to get through it 😂 (sorry for my english)
Not a big fan of his interpretations of musically-challenging pieces but he rocks every technically-challenging piece he plays
Absolutely phenomenal ! A pity he has now turned more as a pure showman , far from Liberace but slghtly in the line ,,,
2003?
Glorious. Shits on M-A-H
Verzeihung - Tiffany Poon
Mi ha meravigliato ascoltare dai Proms di Londra una sonata di Mozart strabiliante (degna della migliore Lilli Kraus) e la nota Grande Polacca brillante di Chopin ( mai eseguita così brillantemente ) BRAVO Lang Lang .
tho I hate his face, this performance is just epic. He's not just playing piano, he's doing the don juan opera show.
This piece is very lang
진짜 잘친다!
bravo das stück ist nicht einfach
How.
Yho! 🤭👏
the beginning is so scary
Juan
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 뭘 본거지.... ㄷㄷ
The cameraman tho
If Liszt didn't want it played this way, what exactly did he want?
Idk, ask him.
