6 Most EPIC Piano Performances Ever (Ft. Sophie Oui Oui)

Lizst has to be one of my favorite pianists. He can make very complex pieces but make them sound super good musically as well.

Sorry to say, Buniatishvili's Mephisto is dreadful. This kind of performances are the reason why so many people disregard Liszt as a flashy, superficial composer, when the truth is he never loses musicality in pursuit of virtuosity.

I straight up started crying at the Horowitz. Thought I was being too sensitive but then read down and it looks like we're all crying in the comment section 😭

completely irrelevant but sophie's voice is so calming

I was at Grigory Sokolov's recital in 2022, had a clear view of his hands, just WOW.

What is the piece playing in the background throughout the video?

Damn, I can't believe after all this time I'm starting to get into music.

Evgeny Kissin is my favorite pianist.

He has so much emotion.

I love his performance of Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in G Minor. And that was an encore!

That concept of being enveloped by the orchestra and merging literally into the music is my ideal heaven.

Absolutely the WORST performance of the Mephisto Waltz I’ve ever seen. Where did she get the idea that Liszt wanted the piece to be played as fast as humanly possible? It’s just a blur of notes devoid of all nuance, phrasing, and expression.

I think this video really helped twoset realise how difficult pianists lives are lol

Kissin is a technical Genius

Hello guys, I enjoy watching your videos very much but as I play the guitar, I would like to see some things about Classical Guitar as well!

ahem... IM A FRIKIN PIANIST AND VIOLINIST. Umm not a great violinist, only 4 months, still learning. but on piano... its been 8 years guys and I still can't play what professionals play. im sorry in advance.

I fr looked for this video by typing “Sophie oui oui performances”

I love her sweater!

Sokolov has perfect technique..
I watch his live performance of Le Tic Toc Choc from the same show every now and then, it’s so brilliant

In the Schubert his body did change.... you have to approach the note differently, with a different weighting and above all listen to the sound BETWEEN the notes. Very few pianists practice that.... I remember doing a masterclass and was asked to do it. Being a practitioner of NLP I just went straight into it, and the teacher was astonished. He said he could not get his other students to do that. What I heard when I listened to the sound between the notes and played the notes almost as an afterthought, was a completely different result. It was amazing! To a certain extent you have to abandon yourself to the music, and this includes some of the heavier elements of your own hands/biology. If you let go of your weight and let it fall through your body to the floor, what you have left is a lightness of touch which defies your expectations.

Glad that Khatia comes first 👏 Her Clair de Lune is the best. I was so amazed when I heard it for the first time.

We need more of ft. Sophie videos

Where is the greatest pianist of all time Aleksei Sultanov?

Giannis could play NBA and Mundial

what was the piano song going on during the background when they were talking?

My Rachmaninoff concerto No.2 THE guy is Vladimir Ashkenazy, hands down. And of course, there is a recording of Rachmaninoff playing the Concerto himself.
Mikhail Pletnev Mozart Piano Concerto No.23, especially 2nd movement.
For Bach piano pieces -Piotr Anderszewski
Chopin "Winterwind" - Hayato Sumino
Matzuev is my least favourite, I also listened him live. Too aggressive playing, in my opinion, and it undermines the actual music piece. Anyway, just my opinion.

why yuja wang is not included?

As Georgian, loved to see Khatia Buniatishvili on the list. Not sure you have many fans here but I definitely am one, guys ❤️

as a fellow austrian and humble painist i am always happy to see Sophie in a video with you guys

Khatia Buniatishvili's Liebestraum no. 3 performance is the best

What about Yujia

I fell in love with her smile and her feelings when she listens to the videos🔥

It seems like a lot of people have learned gigue cough

Great show. As presenters try to drop the incorrect use of the word, ‘like.’ It’s sounds dumb.

this is sad

Really enjoyed this episode. Also loved Sophie’s white Hoodie. Will you make it available again for us to buy???? Thank you.

Really enjoyed this.

might as well just become a viola at this point…

Rubinsteins rach 2 is equally legendary

The Horowitz clip is mesmerizing.

It's Claudio Arrau playing moonlight sonata 3rd movement

Have you guys even seen the cadenza for the first movement of Prokofiev PC no 2. G minor? It’s pretty intense, but my fingers are kind of swollen from it lol

The Horowitz Schubert selection somehow immediately brought me to tears. So impressive. Wow. Thanks twoset and Sophie for sharing all of this classic music experience and knowledge!!!!!

Burberry

Now you need to add Yunchan Lim's performance of either the Transcendental Etudes or the Rach 3.

Those quavers in the Rach 2 are the measure, by which I measure, piano greatness, within the limitation of my plebianosity.

У Мацуева просто долбёжка. Рихтер + Мравинский играют лучше!

I would recommend Daniil trifonov Liszt etude no 10
