This piano concerto is terribly underrated. Truly a masterpiece

One of the finest Concertos ever written. Few composers can express such an emotional range in 22 minutes and none can match Liszt's total mastery of thematic transformation. Many thanks for uploading this stunning performance too.

I was so taken with the Liszt 1st for so long. And then I decided to go past it and listen to the 2nd and Totentanz. My life has never been the same since.

L'une des plus grandes exécutions de cette oeuvre. Merci infiniment. ❤

Liszt's technique of thematic transformation anticipated many technical developments of Brahms and Schoenberg. Liszt is a composer who has never been given credit for the importance he had in music history. The Faust Symphony, for instance, opens with a theme which is all 12 notes of the chromatic scale whose order is derived from augmented chords; in other words a 12 tone series, a remarkable anticipation of Schoenberg. Remarkable.

Liszt was a phenomenon, he was built different as an orchestrator literally even since he started with it, from Lelio fantasy until his von der wiege bis zum grabe, etc. He had a god given talent for foward thinking music in all possible ways he could write, really staggering.

This carries a million emotions most of them expressed with the same theme, over and over. That is where LISZT stands.

The little duets throughout with the other instruments are charming. Never sat and actively listened to this one before.

This concerto is one of the reasons why Liszt is in my opinion the best piano composer

For me personally, this concerto and the Mazeppa symphonic poem are the two finest display of Liszt's transformation of themes

This work is the beginning of everything. Jazz started here.

This is unquestionably the most outstanding recording of Liszt's magnificent masterpiece. It's hard to believe when this work was composed...so unique, so far in advance of its time, and it remains timeless.

This has to be one of the best performances of this concerto I've heard.

I think this is some of the best music I have ever heard

Non esistono parole che possano descrivere la bellezza di questo concerto 💓💓

How is this concerto not one of the most popular. I mean 6:15 leaves me at a loss for words.

The beginning of Allegro deciso gets me every time

One of the greatest concerti ever written!

If this is a crazy, unfair comment, I am willing to be corrected. My intention, however, is noble. First, I do have to say this, and say this emphatically: This performance is more than great, it is all-encompassing and transcendent. This particular Liszt composition both embraces and defies simple logic, in that passion, in many places, is here more appropriate, more revelatory, than mere common sense would duly warrant. What I am getting at is this: in perusing the Wikipedia entry for Rene Duchable, one can see that his viewpoints on the world were rather ... may I say... somewhat skewed and, perhaps, indefensible, albeit thoroughly, perhaps, with a sense of merited honesty. In this performance, he seems to recognize the 'fact' that Liszt did not here write a composition for polite society, but, rather for a person who was to be allowed to be free to express whatever mental ammunition he would deem was needed in order to manifest said performer's unrestricted feelings and obsessions while, perhaps, melding such into the composer's own covert mindset. In fact, was/is Mr Duchable a little 'nuts'? If so, his 'nefarious condition' has added to this artistic performance, a performance which makes no allotment, no amends for anything deemed 'proper' (by the hoi polloi) and, as most lesser mortals would construe, sane and rational. Performances such as this, and compositions such as this, are out of the norm for proper behavior and normative thinking. Mr Duchable did read Liszt well here and took it upon himself to categorize this composition into a realm otherworldly. This is the only way that a mere mortal like David Lyga can dissect this performance of an unusually untenable composition, a composition which cannot be properly held and maintained as being truly viable, in an absolute sense, by most performers. (Another excellent one was done by Thibaudet in Toulouse, France). Both Liszt and Duchable have recreated creation. - David Lyga

Breathtaking masterpiece.

As an orchestral musician who needs to prepare this, thank you so much for uploading!

Hartelijk dank voor deze upload. Werkelijk fantastisch!

The epic part is at 15:40 Edit: 13:03 Is good too. As someone pointed out, it is reminiscent of Tchaikovski first piano concerto.

One of my favorites piano concertos since 1993. I LOVE IT VERY VERY MUCH!!!!

Just leaving some timestamps for myself with the most memorable sections in the piece: 3:37 - idk why that dotted rhythm introduced here is soo satisfying, and it underlies the whole movement 4:02 - this is where the fun begins 4:42 - nice ending of a line with a perky rhythm in the piano 5:10 - Mazeppa like texture in the piano - it's so diabolical, 5:39 - cool piano line entering, and orchestra answers 6:15 - cool orchestra section march-like build-up? 6:48 - piano enters again with hard "stubborn" octaves and nice buildup with answering the orchestra 10:37 - one of the sweetest and most melancholic, sincere piano (and also well sincopated) melodies from Liszt imo, that slowly gets accompanied by the orchestra - genius 13:03 - march-like section where Tchaikovsky inspired his first piano concerto opening, 13:30 - sweet flutes melody 13:44 - the march-like section transforms, 13:55 - dramatic strings line with chromatic piano accompaniment 14:11 - the "stubborn" octaves are back. I love the interaction of the piano and the orchestra until the piano closes this section at 15:01 with those hard octaves. Especially love the jumpy texture at 14:24 and the ascending dramatic chords by the orchestra at 14:39-14:56 15:10 - wait, the orchestra continues the octaves? 15:22 - one of the most interesting buildups - goosebumps 15:54 - most obvious climax here - pam pam pa pam, nice bass lines in the brass section 16:04 - I love this ringtone-like motif on the piano 16:28 - cool piano runs with top line melody and the dotted rhythm from before in the strings 20:04 - I guess from here on everything else is pure brilliance

One word: BRILLIANT

15:22 on is amazing. Edit: 13:00 on

This concerto is incredible. I listen to music a LOT, so I naturally leave out a few pieces here and there from my listenings, one of which happened to be this gorgeous concerto. I have heard it twice in total, and I think I’ll leave it at that. I want the experience to be extra adventurous the day I commit to this piece. Let’s see how it goes (I have never tried this with any piece), and maybe I’ll leave a few comments in the future

Absolutely love this piece!!

the opening to the third movement is unbridled chaos and i actually love it

Fantástico !

Se escucha increible. Gracias.

Saw a local concert last night including this concerto. Man, the soloist made this look easy.

Wonderful performance, thanks for posting! The entire Duchâble/Conlon Liszt CD (+Concerto No. 1 & Hungarian Fantasy) is very fine, but for me this is the standout interpretation.

Thanks for uploading!

I'm in love.

Only Franz Liszt can save us

One of the very best! I love this piece! It's part of the greatest musical repertoire of all time. Thanks for sharing. God bless you Amen!

what a piece!!!

Great, for fans of List and Murakami.

Very majestic piece

Awesome!

7:42 is just amazing well actually tho whole concerto is

Браво грандиозно люблю этот концерт очень

Gorgeous and exciting!!

Si' un capolavoro davvero! Fr. Arturo Catholic priest

Spike Milligan in his fabulous book "Mussonlini his part in my downfall" mentions on his diary entry Monday 20th December 1943 that he was on a hunt to find a piano for the Christmas Concert party. He is serving in Italy and goes into the Teatro Garibaldi with the intention of nicking a piano if he can find one. He hears one being played by a young American sergeant and calls it "a splendid rendering of of the Listz Concerto No.2 in B minor" My already high estimation of this late genius went up a couple of notches. That he could recognise this tune, when his main musical pleasure was from jazz shows what a wide taste in music was.

14:11 four augmentation dots!!!

Thanks for the sheet music.

Beautyful. And Maximun piano difficulty. Epic ending.

I like the part at 4:02

Dios creó que esta es la primera versión que escuche y que conocí de esta obra tan magna por haya en el 2000 creo. Recuerdo que la graba en un casette la amaba tanto.

13:03 Tchaikovsky first piano concerto in b flat minor op.23 first movement

11:01 I found where Sciabin 1st piano sonata 2nd theme comes from.

The openning is '' Heaven''

Amazing!! what recording is that from?

Superbe!!

The cadenza at 10:40 reminds me of the one in Rachmaninoff’s third in movement I. Edit: The cadenza starts at 10:30, 10:40 is just where I was at in the piece.

When you see "Liszt" and "Piano Concerto" in the same sentence, you KNOW it's gonna be insanely difficult. XD

Hey guys!!! I'm gonna watch a LIVE performance in Aula Simfonia Jakarta! Yayyy... it is the best orchestra because it is the ONLY classical orchestra I am aware of. oh yeah.. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!! I'm having the best day of my life oohhhh i'm gonna be FAMOS

Have not found a better interpretation out there lmao

3:02 11:07 13:01 y todo ese movimiento, especialmente 15:52 17:38 y 18:32 20:00 y hasta el final, jaja

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that Liszt was not the soloist of the worldpremiere of his own piano concertos. It seems so odd. He was THE best pianist of his time, composers who were also giving public pianon performances usually wrote piano concertos for themselves, like Mozart or Rachmaninoff, yet Liszt was content with conducting the orchestra instead.

I wish Liszt wrote a late era piano concerto with no key center - imagine how that would have upset his critics! haha

So thrilling to follow the score and music at the same time. James Conlon did a great job...but I had hoped for a more tumultuous last chord.

00:00 5:40 7:45 13:03 15:55 20:05

First time I’ve heard this

LE MEILLEUR PIANISTE FRANCAIS

Merci pour la pub...

Is this concert more difficult than prokofiev 1?

Who played this?

The first 3 1/2 minutes us the most amazing part of this piece...

17:01 😀

3:37

00:00 20:05

Im so screwed for rehearsal tomorrow…

Does anyone have the score?

👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

2:15 !!!!!!!))))))))))))

1:51

5:40

Interesting this score doesn't give the ossia chords to replace the glissandi

20:38

16:52

Even Franz Liszt's major key work sound sad :P Seems misleading to call this A major (typically a major key sounds happy).

6:15

I wish this concerto was the go-to for student pianists more often, instead of Grieg or Saint-Saens or even the 3rd Beethoven (which they often overestimate their abilities over).

Get rid of the ads. One every 5 minutes is ridiculous. It's a shame, I really like the recording, but I am gonna be using a different one for this reason.

Somewhere in a universe, in a galaxy, in solar system, on a planet, in a country, in a city, in a neighborhood, in a house, in a bed, there is someone wondering how the fuck you play a chord on a flute or a clarinet.

Putting ads in middle of a Piano Concerto is one of the greatest sins of humanity.

The melodies remind me of Grieg

This song is so weird and unique, I didn't like it first but I think it gets better every time you listen =) So in the end it's great!

The number of ads here is absolutely disgusting. To all the advertisers: I have made a careful note of who you are, and I promise NEVER to buy your products!! EVER!

Concerto di indubbio merito. Il grande piano di Liszt però poco si adatta con l'orchestra.

This Friday 31 July is my birthday, I will be 14. Franz died in the same day.

i don't know if it's a masterpiece, but it's certainly better than his First.

Since when did Liszt not use solo piano for all of his songs?

I like this concerto okay. But the ending is not satisfying to me. His first in E-flat is much more exhilarating.
