hi everyone, thanks so much for the 1k likes 🥰, i've never expected it, (honestly)

i just wanted to say a few things:

first of all, please check out my other videos on the channel, as well as the both CDs. i've recorded a lot of very different stuff and this is just a tiny glimpse of my output.

and the second thing, please consider buying a CD or supporting me in any other way available (the bandcamp link / donate button is in the channel info). i still ain't got my DG contract and right now I'm broke asf as every true artist (no joke, i literally can't buy myself food at the moment)

thanks again!

Probably how Liszt would play on a drunken Saturday night at the local piano bar.

So this is what Peter Parker does when he’s not fighting criminals

Poor guy. Apparently he realized that he lost his car keys at 6:05, and he's furiously searching for them for the next 30 seconds or so. (Yes, the tight pants can be problematic). Hopefully he found them! And yes, I enjoyed the performance as well; a bit on this histrionic side, but the piece benefits from that,

[antiiczzz]

0:05 one of the rare pianist to really do it ad libitum really innovative interpretation on all of the piece even if everything is not at my personal taste you play with passion and that is what matters you really got the liszt spirit and this is refreshing

My piano teacher: you gotta fix your posture!
Me asf 5 seconds later: 5:39

1 point to Griffindor for the courage demonstrated standing in front of the black beast.

[calebkinman]

This man is just having loads of fun with this piece. Gotta love it 😂

As much as I want to dislike this performance (I don't think the musicality achieved warrants this much physical showiness), I really really admire the confidence to completely throw yourself into the piece and make it your own. Also, not enough people experiment with their own physicality to bring new sounds/colors/expressions out of the piano. Many professionals will say "If your technique is good enough, you don't need to move from the bench", but it's not like many people have tried to prove that wrong. I'm happy this performance exists even if I may not agree with the musical outcome.

He has the skill to perform it faster, but smoother and showing its sentiment! Nice one

I love the humor in the title and the thumbnail, while also bringing out the difficulty and challenge of playing this piece! This is great!!!! You interpetation is wonderful! The dynamic contrast is also stunning! Tempo is also consistent too!

[giovannib]

Awesome, I loved the big contrasts and unique interpretation!

[Themlgd]

One of my favorite performances of this piece comes from you my friend! Keep up the amazing work and I love to listen. ❤👍

very interesting how the young generation of Pianists are also entertainers with their performances like Yuja, Trifonov, Ling Ling, Buniatishvili, etc. The old generation of pianists like Horowitz, Argerich, Michelangeli, Rubinstein, Pires, etc, were/are impassible in their playing but yet able to communicate passion and emotions.

[AVIDEOGAL]

WELL THAT WAS THEATRICAL, DUDE REALLY PUTS ON A SHOW, I LOVE IT !!! AND SUPERB PLAYING TO BACK IT UP !!!

I THINK HE THOUGHT THE 👿 devil WAS SNEAKING UP BEHIND HIM TO TAKE HIM AT ONE POINT !!! MY INTERPRETATION OF THE THEATRICS !!!

LET HIM SIT DOWN WHEN HE GETS OLD, I LOVE SEEING THE YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE !!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🚒

[matthewchang]

What a unique and yet inspiring performance, and doing what no one these days has guts to do!!! ❤❤❤❤

[Isegawa]

The liberties taken remind me of Horowitz's 15th hungarian rhapsody, though I'll be frank, the standing up is corny.

[kcuslav]

Fresh and inspired performance. I love your unique approach to this piece. Thank you for your originality!

[eenayeah]

Never in my life have I ever seen someone stand up in these 🤔 Interesting

[alejandropolanco]

Music is a lot more fun this way! Thank you for this interpretation
