Bravo! Lately I rarely listen to any recording all the way through because my new computer's speakers are so terrible, and I haven't had a chance to get external speakers. But in this case I made an exception, and the playing was so good I forgot about the horrendous speaker tone.

Also, welcome to Piano World! Can you tell us a story about this performance? How did it come about? How long have you been at this thing called, "Pianism"?

Thank you for posting!

Awesome. You make it sound so effortless. I have nothing constructive to say, other than that I enjoyed and was greatly inspired by your performance.

In a true 19th century style, I present one of the greatest Liszt players of the 20th and 21st centuries. He arpeggiates his chords, at will, just the way good old Franz did.

If you want to skip to La Campanella, it starts at 7:25.

What a lot of folks don't remember about these pieces is that they were piano transcriptions of violin works. And, they were written and performed by a man who, in terms of modern vernacular, "let it all hang out." That is the spirit this particular performer brings to these compositions.

I suppose it's pointless to ask why Mr. Podesta feels an obligation to hijack this thread!

What lack of consideration for the OP!
