So this is exactly the piano version of Wagner´s piece I was looking for, great rendition with drama and virtuousness, thanks for posting, shall look out for more Hamelin play
A propos de Liszt, Lucien Rebatet nous rappelle : « La mort de Wagner, qu’il a quitté à Venise quelques semaines plus tôt le laisse serein : ‘Lui aujourd’hui, moi demain’. » Ses transcriptions pianistiques wagnériennes, telle que cette si somptueuse mort d’Isolde, me portent à songer qu’il avait entièrement raison.
Oh Kyle, I'm french and I often see you comment the videos where Hamelin's playing, and on Liszt mucis, but I've never seen you playing Liszt, that would be a great idea if you want to play this composer ! :D Moreover, it's the one I prefer, and you can't deny he was a wonderful piano player too ^^
Astonishing playing. I must confess I can't stand operatic warbling even though I have degree in Music ... ... But on the solo piano all the harmonic shifts are crystal clear ... A Ravishing Revelation ...
The Jorge Luis Prats recording sounds very good, particularly his pp tremolos, but he makes a big cut, from bar 27 to 39; why? Furthermore, in the lead up to the big climax there are pairs of tied notes where he plays both, which gives a quite different sound to that intended by both Liszt and Wagner. I'll stick with Hamelin.
Very pretty. Seems like it would be ideal backing music for a melodramatic silent movie, and I'm sure it has been utilized as such. Especially after the five minute mark.
Does anyone else find the climax (i.e. around 5:18) a little unconvincing? The repeated chords just scream "I am not an orchestra" in a really obvious way. The rest is sublimely done.
Great version, however, I still prefer Horowitz. I think the best part of this piece comes right after the climax: when it settles down, the beautiful theme returns one last time and finally, the resolution, the ending. Horowitz absolutely nails that part and makes of it a moment of eternity.
rachel starritt I really doubt so. It seems too over the top showy even for Wagner, and opera repetitious serving as the orchestra following the singer would opt for a more functional redition. But idk, just my guess.
Man those opening chords are jazzy as hell! Wagner sort of has the reputation with the general public as being another typical "boring", stuffy, classical composer. But he was truly radical.
This kind of music makes life worth living.
By far one of the prettiest transcriptions out there... not sure where my life would be without Liszt at this point lol
Those opening chords are horrific and dark.
I love it.
This is a high point in human story.
There is only going down from here...
Unfortunately

Ugh 3:24. One of the most gorgeous phrases ever written. Gets me every single time. As well as 5:18. And 6:07.
all gets me weeping yeah"""""""
I totally agree, every single time
Does anyone know some records with the ossia part at 5:18?

thanks
that's an intense and very .. very beautiful piece.. brings tears to my eyes

Listen to his Debussy
Hamelin is an amazing pianist... and Liszt was amazing, too for his day, very nice person, they say, as well as a buttload of talent to go with it.
ppp tremolos, my mortal enemy
on a good piano it's better
Make use of the double escapement, don't let your fingers go too much up
@@Angelo-z2i double escapement?
You should practice Chopin's étude op 25 no 6, it will help you on light tremolos.
Relax. That’s the key.
I cannot believe that this piece of music exists. A gift from above ☀️⭐🌙
hands down my favorite version
Fabulous - a luscious backing track as I prepare for Berlin! :) Thank you
I loved playing this piece when I still had a keyboard.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)
What a grand ending, a powerful culmination!
I liked this one. But I must admit that Jorge Luis Prats performance if amazing... I've listened to him this as encore and is so heart-breaking.
Exquisitely interpreted.

Hamelin...such a beast
Listen to Nyiregyhazi
zonder twijfel mooi gespeeld
what a beauty!!!!!!!

5:18-5:38......
Where is the Tristan chord, Liszt...
6:33 That's when the chord finally shows his true nature, a dominant from a dominant!
even Furtwängler would be proud of an interpretation like this....

A beautiful version with remarkable tremolos and efficient swellings, in some ways on par with Horowitz’ recording.
professional musician here while i’m almost obsessed with this music - i wonder ( neurotic ?) why i don’t feel weepy?
IT IS AN EXCELLENT VERSION BUT ....... SEARCH AND LISTEN AT JORGE LUIS PRATS PLAYING THE SAME .
So God

The orchestral version of the piece and section you mentioned were used in the 1929 silent Surrealist short film "An Andalusian Dog".
The May 24 2023 Final Jeopardy clue brought me here. Glad I came.

Listen to Nyiregihazi”s version. It’s as orchestral as it gets
Yeah, it's the moment when a piano transcription won't really do!
Yep, a little bit hysterical-forced
You can try the Moszkowski version instead
its bum note around 1.47?
This sounds like something Scriabin would compose
Could have easily been written bei early Skrjabin.
I disagree, that’s the guy who wrote his the Scriabin piano concerto
His later stuff is much better
That heavy cromatisms
For me Scriabin is like the Mahler of Piano
Great version, however, I still prefer Horowitz. I think the best part of this piece comes right after the climax: when it settles down, the beautiful theme returns one last time and finally, the resolution, the ending. Horowitz absolutely nails that part and makes of it a moment of eternity.
I'm with you on this. Horowitz's recording is the most exquisite recording in existence, unsurpassed, and no one comes close to his delicate phrasing.
hamelin is de lizst of Alkan van de piano(bewerking)
Do opera repetitious ever use this version? Just curious.
rachel starritt I really doubt so. It seems too over the top showy even for Wagner, and opera repetitious serving as the orchestra following the singer would opt for a more functional redition. But idk, just my guess.

Wrong at 1:53 ;-)
1.53
Lizst.
2:45 6:32 tristan chord
Hamelin is a great pianist, in particular for Liszt, but in this piece Lazar Berman is of another world, sorry. Cantabile, dynamics, the climax...
Lazar German?
@@Hervinbalfour sorry, typo :D
That clunker at 1:53 is really hard to listen to. :(
Also hard to play, i barely hear the melody in this passage
honestly its not a terrible mistake, after numerous listenings it looks like a nice unique touch
Sorry, but Barenboim has the onliest interpretation.
