This was recorded live at the Roundhouse London.
Honestly this is one of the most perfect versions of this piece I've ever heard and you can tell this guy knows what he's doing because he has perfect fingering and perfect tempo and didn't mess up whereas other pianist try to beat the hell out of the piano just to look good, but you can never understand Franz Liszt's ability and skill until you actually hear one of his pieces played correctly like it is here! Bravo!!!
danthecomposer i agree with you
where is your commas full stop bracket etc. Feel tired to read...
XxDylanxXTV Yes, I have thought that too. It's his articulation of each note, and the obvious emotion he feels playing it.
I have to disagree. I started studying this piece on the piano when I was 15 and managed to learn it, however horribly, I had this bad boy memorized. I am always in awe of pianists who can actually play the dang thing WELL, but this guys was not one of my favorites. I heard a few clunkers (which is by far better than I could do though!) and wasn't quite feeling the character of his interpretation. To each his own, I guess.
Where is the better version you've heard? This is the best version i've seen on youtube too...
I've listened to this piece for 15 years, and never feel bored. Muskim's version is the best
this definitely is the best version of this piece. The tempo, pedal control, the emotion on his face is nearly perfect. I think he is like he is enjoying this piece not playing anymore. You can see it on his face on 1:21- 4:55 - 9:04. I really like his emotion on this piece than anyone else. Maksim Mrvica is such a genius !!!
+JOHN Tuong Just for the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 try to listen to Alfred Brendel.
Today is Hungary's national holiday. We are celebrating the anniversary of the 1848th big revolution. At every big event, I like to listen to this piece from Liszt. Here you can choose from many version of Rhapsody No.2, but this Gentleman is playing with not just his fingers, but with his heart & soul too. He is one of the best musician ever. Thank you so much.
yeah, ur right
Maksim❤🎀❤🎀❤
Hello, just a quick thought... I'm sorry to break it to you but Franz Liszt was not a Magyar... Please you people do some thorough research... Yes, Franz Liszt was Ungarian citizen but Slovak(Slovien) national... His maternal languge was NOT magyar, he didn't even speak magyar language his whole life... ❤
@@jaroslavnovotny556 German: [ˈlɪst]; Hungarian: Liszt Ferencz, in modern usage Liszt Ferenc [ˈlist ˈfɛrɛnt͡s]. Liszt's Hungarian passport spelled his given name as "Ferencz". An orthographic reform of the Hungarian language in 1922 (which was 36 years after Liszt's death) changed the letter "cz" to simply "c" in all words except surnames; this has led to Liszt's given name being rendered in modern Hungarian usage as "Ferenc". From 1859 to 1867 he was officially Franz Ritter von Liszt; he was created a Ritter (knight) by Emperor Francis Joseph I in 1859, but never used this title of nobility in public. The title was necessary to marry the Princess Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein without her losing her privileges, but after the marriage fell through, Liszt transferred the title to his uncle Eduard in 1867. Eduard's son was Franz von Liszt.
^ His birthplace is now a museum. Throughout his life, he claimed to be Magyar, rather than German and referred to Hungary as his homeland. When later in his life he gave charity concerts in Hungary, he sometimes appeared wearing national dress (Walker 1987, p. 48).
Beautiful interpretation of what is arguably the most difficult piece ever written for piano. He not only knows how to play the song, but also understands its essence, and he interprets it both appropriately and beautifully. The mellow moments are quiet, tender, and unhurried, while the big moments are bold, dynamic, and unstoppable. I know he's borderline theatrical, but I think that his dramatic stage presence ties in successfully to his actual performance, probably because he has such a keen understanding of the music he's playing. This is probably my favorite, live rendition of this piece. Simply superb.
A difficult piece, no doubt, but not the hardest piece ever written; nor even the hardest Hungarian Rhapsody (No.6 might go down that route); the hardest piece probably belongs within Sorabjii's Opus Clavicembalisticum
You can tell he loves this piece....you can hear it.
The Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody is considered one of the most difficult piano titles.... This guy,....just close your eyes and listen the the way he plays it, you can tell he adores this title. This is likely the most well played Hungarian Rhapsody you can ever hear!
He is Croatian national treasure... The great Maksim Mrvica
I am utterly appalled at the audience!!!! I could not imagine sitting thru such a great performance, composed by the greatest composer ever, Liszt, played by such a notable artist as Maksim , on maybe the finest instrument ever made , a Fazioli grand , and not rising to my feet for a rounding ovation,,,,,,, Shame shame shame. I rose and applauded at home. !!!!
Maybe this was in a country where you just don't do that. It's possible, and the only explanation I can think of
The best performance of Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 that exists. 🔥
Check famous pianists of the last century and today's well known pianists
Without a doubt the best. It’s performed exactly the way it should be, not too ‘impressive ‘ in a way that puts focus on the fact that it’s performed live and they’re trying to impress the audience, but exactly how it should be in an artistic manner. In a theatrical manner, dramatic way, an almost cartoon like performance . Exactly how you would imagine it in your fantasy but not in reality.
@@passiveyoutuber4972 I've seen all the performances available on youtube and I think this is by far the best interpretation (to me)
I also like Nobuyuki Tsuji the blind pianist who played Hungarian Rapsody#2 .
His version of this piece is very light, sweet, and gentle, more like a Chopin piece. Although his fortes are spot on.A brilliant performer, as is Valentina Lisitsa, but her version seems much more aggressive and cold. I think I prefer Maksim's. It would be wonderful to have heard Liszt play it himself, for his original interpretation.
+Leemarie468 Thank you so much, as a music lover and a Croatian for praising our pianist :) we share same thoughts. Music isn't all in technique. I love his interpretation the most.
maksim's interpretation is far from technical perfection and that is why i like it. the variation carries the passion i like in this piece. i think it has its' own brilliance. it has wabi sabi. i have listened to this so many times and i lose myself in it every time.
Lang lang has the most intense and energetic version of all and I love it
This is not a light, sweet nor gentle piece of music.
Ayden Martinez lang lang plays the Horrowitz transcription so you can’t compare
This has been my absolute favorite version of this piece for almost 15 years now. Everyone else seems to rush it and it takes away the emotion.
Where has the time gone??
Outstanding! One of the few who KNOW HOW to play this piece!
You can disagree all you want - but for me this is the best version on UA-cam
I first heard this on a player piano at the House on the Rock in Wisconsin & fell in love with it. I never believed it was humanly possible to play this piece. Unless you were Liszt. Meeting this man has just become number one on my bucket list.
He interprets this piece romantically and I love it very much. It sounds so intriguing and colourful. I have been listening to his playing of this piece countless times for many years. It melts my heart in the section of 3:30...
Mae Leong i know, that section always gets me 😍😍
My headphones’ battery decided to die right before that section lol
It melts my heart too in 3:30!!!
I can't think of anything else I even want to listen to after this masterful version. It's unbelievable.
everyone has their own interpretation about this masterpiece. for me this masterpiece represent the human's feelings and emotion in this life...
Anger, Sad, Beauty, Doubt, Hope, Funny, Playfull, Happiness ETC
and Maksim played it very well.. the best version I've ever heard. also his emotion when he play this... perfect!!!
for me it is the most beautiful interpretation! wonderful! everything it is very clear to hear! good guy.
A brilliant and sensitive performance of this most difficult piece. The playing is so clear, absolutely wonderful.
lol his face is like "omg I'm actually playing it"
Yet his fingers are like "that's right bitch, we're playing it."
He isn't, it's an easy version and Liszt don't write this easy, Maksim hate Liszt, he destroyed his Totentanz too
@@Whaijorhujishkomunyk It's music snobs like you that make others not enjoy music. Just know that you are part of the problem....
@@harry_burnsworth This is not music when the purpose is not musicality, and snobs like only Vienesse waltzes, if you want to enjoy listen to professional pianists like Valentina Lisitsa, Cziffra György or Leslie Howard. Maksim Mrvica is nothing more than a action guy, not a musician
The deepest, most sensitive and beautiful recent version. After Lang Lang insane hammering, what a change.
Exactly my thoughts.
that Fazioli sounds amazing to me! crystal clear
I cannot get enough of this guys interpretation. Amazing! I'm sure Franzie would have a big smile hearing this.
This guy is incredible!!
Breathtakingly beautiful pianst!
This guy has so much soul, I love it!
To this 2022, I still feel this is such a perfection of a piece. The dramatics of this is deomonstrated that was chopins skill and tragedy . Highs and lows.
I havent come back to this video since 5 or 7 years. Still is good
Soul , heart, classic fever ... Maksim not interpret classical music, he lives , he feels , he breathes... Music is an essential part in his condition of being . He merges with each piece that travels through his fingers. Since each author that interprets , he gives himself to the world . Unquestionably he's a giant in a land of dwarves. (respectfully speaking).
He oozes sex appeal !!!
С каким же удовольствием я слушаю Максима Мрвицу, браво!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god for Tom and Jerry because without them I never would have been turned on to this beautiful piano masterpiece.
This was me as well! That episode had a golden masterpiece of music within.
Same here! It's reminds me of video games like GTA San Andreas introducing me to many great genres of music.
Es ist wundervoll ihm zuzuhören und sein Gefühl überträgt sich. Würde so gern ein Konzert in Deutschland besuchen.
It's almost hilarious how effortless he makes it seem
he plays it slow and effortless
wonderful, reminds me of my mother playing the piano and my hungarian father loving it.....
Fantastic. The clarity of each note is outstanding despite the pace. Best version I have heard.
The best interpretation of this piece ever, with a great emotion.
This music brings tears to my eyes, I never knew beauty like this could exist
This version is amazing! I love the precise control he has, especially over dynamics. I agree with a lot of the dynamic and tempo choices made; it's nice to hear a wider range of dynamics and meaningful pauses (especially in the beginning). Definitely one of my favorite versions.
Never bored of watching it ❤❤
I can't listen to any other rendition of this music because of how perfect this piece was done.
@classicalalways If someone from anywhere risked there life to have an opportunity to play the piano I would have the most respect for them. It shows pure passion and dedication. And I have listened to Kemal Gekic, his performance of La Campanella is my favourite, his technique is unbelievable.
I show a lot of respect for Maksim as it was this very performance which got me hooked on classical music which was a turning point in my life for the better.
like a rock star pianist......
The sound of the Fazioli is gorgeous
It's perfect for the piece.
+nudeood those pianos are 100% made by hand, they are absolutely perfect
+nudeood I don't know much about pianos. Is this one better than say, a Steinway?
+itsmegp46 Steinway and Fazioli are two manufacturers that make the highest quality and most expensive pianos, also Bosendorfer would be up there. Which is better is all down to the pianist's sound preference, but Steinway make up about 80% of the high-end market in terms of sheer popularity and I'm not sure but it may also be in part due to the fact that Fazioli has only a single factory that makes only around 100 pianos a year. Anyway, if you see a classical concert pianist they will most likely play on a Steinway, Fazioli or Bosendorfer because they are all the 'best' though slightly different. :)
+nudeood Thank you for your explanation.
Best version !
El más virtuoso pianista q he oído en mi vida. GENIAL. No hay palabras. Sin partituras. No la ha pifiado en ninguna nota. Porq conozco de memoria esos conciertos. SUPREMO
si es el mas virtuoso te invito a que escuches a Marc Andre Hamelin, Evgeny Kissin o un tal... Gyorgy Cziffra... de todos modos este chico toca estupendo..
Maksim es un excelente pianista, que Dios bendiga este gran talento
Best interpretation ever!!!
A very gifted and under rated pianist. I like his style of playing and what he wears
Playing the original in this perfection is much harder than various Horowitz-variations accross UA-cam. No doubt, this is the highest level of piano playing. Mr. Mrvica, you have my uttermost admiration.
Actually one of the more fluid and gracefull performances of this peice I've heard. His presentation does not garble the more caotic parts - nearly all notes can be heard clearly which is the most dificult aspect of the song IMO.
My favourite piece of classical music.
Perfect tempo, perfect force in the fingers at the key, he is good
Excellent rendition of Liszt's masterpiece. So good I had an eargasm.
Prekrasno ,divno Maksim💖
Maksim, you are a Prodigy!- Glory to God!
Gorgeous! I've heard a couple of other musicians playing this masterpiece, but this is my favourite - most emotional, as I feel it...
If you want a pure perfection of technique, just go for Lisitsa's version. But if you want a pure perfection of emotion, this version is it. I still can't find a version so emotional that can rival this version even to this day. Bravo Maksim!
I feel like this carries a lot more emotion than other interpretations I've heard. it's great!
How does one memorize such a piece as this?? Amazing.
+Leemarie468 He loves the piece, you can tell :)
It's pattern isn't actually very complicated. Especially for those who know music theory
Memorisation of pieces is actually the easiest part of any instrument, borne out of muscle memory from the sheer amount of hours put into practice.
the best version i heard so far on piano , Bravo Mrvica!
Such precision, his movements are like water
Love!!!!!!!! *-*
2:43 ish, he's like high off the music; it's wonderful. He's so into it and I'm extremely jealous, I wish I could play like him
This is Amazing and watching you play is memorizing! Its so clearly obvious you feel the music that you are playing and you capture your audience as well with it. Awesome!
TBH this is the best version I have ever heard,this guy is pretty talented
i didn't know kriss angel played piano
He doesn't it is magic.
Great..fantastic...thanks a lot for thoose Wonderful moments.........I just can say BRAVO!!!!!
I'm already learning this song, can't take it out of my head for months/years
I love you maksim !! Im one of your avid fan from the philippines!!
Cette interprétation est fantastique ; personnellement je trouve qu'elle dépasse toutes celles que j'ai pu entendre
Ce pianiste est exceptionnel , ses clips sont spectaculaires et ses reprises intelligentes
Enfin un pianiste classique hors normes
Maksim is a great and original pianist . The way he plays this Rhapsody is fantastic.
omg, very clean and perfect!
Oh YES! This has to be the perfect interpretation! Love it, love it. Thank you so much Maksim
So clear and precise, wonderful!!! Thank you.
When I die, I hope it sounds like 0:21-0:36
On a side note, pianists like this bring back the hearing in Ludwig 😅... and you can tell he's taking his time with his touches, he's making the same faces when I try to make the perfect pancake for my daughter on Sunday morning. Underrated performance, can't save enough.
an extraordinarily dressed pianis. I like it
+HamAndCheese I saw penis
Thats a penis!
To all classical composer thank you for making this kind of music...it really makes my life complete when my two niece playing the piano and im listening to them i love it...thanks god forgiving them a special talent..
I have listened to so many of the greats play this piece...and I don't know what it is...his expressions while playing when the music/rhythm is being channeled through him...
But the rhythm, the accents, and the tempo are all my absolute favorites in this performance. I love it!
It's Fazioli.
This is the best version of this song.
It's the piano, Fazioli.
Franz Lizst : He found it
Maksim : He play it in modern style
Tom : He play it with his foot, chasing Jerry, and with that long fuckin' little finger
saying found it instead of composed it has some deep philosophical implications, I like it : )
I love all of his piano pieces. I never get tired watching his dancing fingers. I feel he is communicating with God every time he plays the piano. So charismatic and full of emotions. Thank you! Love you Maksim! Thank god
Love Hungary from Croatia ❤️ ...Ty Maxim for these
face melting, piano shredding perfection
4:51 My favorite part of the song. Love the whoe piece but that part gets my blood flowing every time.
Bravo Maksim! Bravo!!!
As a Hungarian - all I could say is: maximum respect!!!!!!!!
From my side - standing ovation!!! Perfect interpretation! \o/
So much emotion! It was perfect and very clear. Bravo!!!
I heard Lisitza and other playing this and yet,Maxim's version is the most passionate and plausible - prefer him the most.
"passionate" you found the right adjective :)
Agreed..although maybe a bit unpolished, it's extremely passionate. One of the best renditions I've heard..especially the first half!
Totally agree.
he's handsome
I remember this arrangement from music appreciation class .Ahh such sweet memories. Bravo Maksim.
Masterful! Fantastic! Most beautiful version I've ever heard so far!
Одно из самых сложных для исполнения произведений.Браво!
Aaah, I m crying
Měla jsem dvakrát štěstí a na jeho koncertě byla. Bylo to fantastické, úžasné, dokonalé. Opravdu je to mistr všech mistrů, klavírní virtuóz, ač na člověka působí neuvěřitelně skromně.... Splnil se mi vlastně tímto sen.
Bin noch immer so begeistert.
Borsódzott tőle a hátam... (Már jó értelemben) Greetings from Hungary!
He looks like a rock star but he play piano really good!
Nigel Kennedy is the same way with the violin. looks like a punk rocker but plays like a gifted maestro.
@@nunyabiznez6381 David Garrett too!
BRAVO! ON YOUR FEET! This is a great artist. Need to hear more !!! Go Mrvika!
I love this video and also this masterpiece.
@BiancaFugaru2403 I absolutely love Valentina, I've already got my ticket to see her in the Albert Hall in June. But playing piano is not a competition (her words) so it's not that Valentina's version is better, you just prefer it to this. Fair enough, I actually prefer Hamelin's interpretation to anyone elses but I have huge respect to anyone who plays this piece...even Jung Lin.
Hi Mr ..wich one disc is this song ... thanks
You are the best
If you don't know how this relates to 'Tom & Jerry' you haven't lived :-)
+Dale Sexton I thought Bugs Bunny played this!
+Mark Swanson oh damn!! I think you're right!!!!
+Mark Swanson I don't know about Bugs Bunny, but Tom definitely played it youtube . com watch?v=som4dmHQasg :)
+Mark Swanson They both played it
Dont forget Daffy duck duelling Donald Duck (Who framed Riger Rabbit)
You are my favorite pianist for Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. Your playing seems to speak to my soul!
Man... how much do I love this piece? seriously. and played so awesomely by Makdsim
