Unsurprisingly, I disagree. Life is too short to play Liszt when there are so many other composers I like better.

I rather take my life in my hands in disagreeing with Maledictis, but until fairly recently I was more or less in the anti-Liszt camp. That is, until I saw this fragment of "Totentanz", which softens even my hardened cardiac object.

Yes, you do, but luckily for you, I like you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

(although I cannot get your link to work...)

Slightly off topic, but this is an amazing piece, and i've been obsessed with it ever since I heard it in concert the other week when Richard Meyrick played it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IimaCataHDY...feature=related
The pianist isn't Richard Meyrick, but Ivo Pogorelich, who i've never heard of, but he's obviously very good!

This should be on the list! Although, I have a feeling this piece is on the LRSM list, so might be a little difficult.

I understand Maledictis plays that particular version very well indeed. Apparently she has such an affinity with the Les Dawson version that she uses his arrangements for most of the pieces she plays.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The Chopin Scherzos are not easy pieces but they would be would be included in many people's "essential repertoire".

Ivo Pogorelich became famous when Martha Argerich walked off the jury of a competition in which he had played because the otehr judges did not agree with her judgement of him as a genius. He went on to have a major career. He once subsidised/sponsored a piano competition with a huge prize fund, but unfortunately it did not carry on.

That is a very old photograph of him on the YouTube link!

When I (proudly!!) played the opening of Tottentanz for Mrs MT she dismissed it as "sounds like silent film music!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
