I like this arrangement! It’s definitely not the most powerful, and I feel like the performance of the A section of Confutatis sounds very crunchy (I’m not a pianist so I don’t know what’s being done differently) but unlike many of Liszt’s other arrangements of big orchestral pieces he does the opposite of go overboard. Confutatis in particular sounds much more intimate, like the pianist is relating some memory of grief or war to a close friend rather than a whole crowd if that makes sense. And then the simplicity of the B section and its bassline taking a step away from the harshness of it matches what Mozart intended but it’s all on a much smaller scale. Then the Lacrimosa I love how Liszt changes a number of the notes; it’s especially refreshing to me since we know exactly how regular old Lacrimosa sounds and Liszt’s liberties make his arrangement so much more interesting. I know this isn’t among his more spectacular arrangements, but if anybody’s gonna look down on this piece we can all agree his transcriptions can be incredible.

I think is a great transcription but surprisingly enough I don't find it that enjoyable compared to other transcriptions I've seen here on YT.

Я не услышал тридцать вторые ноты в конце, на завершающем аккорде

not surprised by Liszt's Lacrimosa's difficulty. Liszt lived to flex rather than to give the world a great piece.

I do not think I have found an arrangement of Mozart's Requiem that is so profoundly unpleasant to listen to.

Wait what? Mozart/liszt? What is that Meaning

Das Lacrimosa kann man nicht anhören - die fünfte Note ist ein gis und er spielt g und stellt das auch noch ein...
