Hungarian Music

[Togakure]

Well, I ain't Hungarian, and this ain't nothin' like the Beatles, but if you like oldies but goodies, there are Listz's Hungarian Rhapsodies . No. 6 in D-flat Major was the last one I played, a truly magnificent piece. The fluttering trills, flourishing cascades, and the continuous 16th-note octaves in the finale--so demanding, so exhilirating! These pieces invoke the vivacious spirit of the Hungarian gypsies.

This performer's articulation and dynamic range are quite good, particularly for such a young artist. His speed and accuracy flag a bit at the end (understandable, lol), but overall a very strong performance. Youtube doesn't do it justice . Live concert volume and acoustics ftw.

I was looking more for vocal performances, but this is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love classical music like this, esp when it is done on a piano. :P

My Music Appreciation teacher last year claimed that he was the student of a student of a student of Franz Liszt. Should I have been impressed? :P

Co-incidentally, we had Hungarian folk artists performing at our town hall last week....it was a kind of theme week, they even played a Hungarian movie each day.
I of course missed it all due to my terrible schedule
