Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

To end my rant with serious talking...

I understood how music is about "time"  not physical measurable time but "heart time" listening a pianist genius playing with some false notes on a bad piano, the heart of Liszt music "la vallée d’Obermann" which piece nobody can play  really to make felt Liszt heart...( i discovered musical  heart/time also with australian didgeredoo but it is another story )

I begun to understand Liszt with this supreme pianist which only Moravec and  Sofronitsky and few others rival ; by the way his biography is a stunning incredible book :

If you think i dont know what i talk about, you must read the letter of Arnold Schoenberg to the young Klemperer about Ervin Nyiregyházi playing... He litteraly melt like a glacier facing a volcano about this pianist asking Klemperer to cross Atlantic to hear him  ...

By the way what you will hear in this youtube video is a pianist who never played on a piano for 40 years without never practicing...He begun another world career at 70 again to gain money to cure his 10th wife of cancer ...Read his biography...

now listen when he is in another mood :

When he play Mephisto waltz of Liszt, it is Mephisto himself playing, it is not "beautiful" it is mesmerizing as Liszt certainly was:

If you want to know what Rachmaninoff is about listen him playing it not merely  beautifully but deeply moving us, he use  musical time as a master, he dont play virtuoso and perfectly at all as all others pianists  :

Music is about the way to create time anew...(Out of any measurable time ) Music is not about beautiful notes...It is about the heart becoming a volcano ...

I don't think Mary Coughlan writes her own music. But here she's covering a standard and I could imagine her in a dark, smokey jazz dive.

I'm trying to set up a new computer, so I was only able to listen to a few minutes of Moravec (I think) playing Liszt. I have Lazar Berman playing Liszt's Annees De Pelerenage and it sounds very different. I'll try to listen over the weekend, but I must spend my mornings and early afternoons writing. And you can't give me any more books until I finish The Everpresent Origin. That is a slow read because I must think about every paragraph and understand how it relates to what I'm writing. Is he supporting my thesis or shooting holes in it?

I was very fascinating by the playing of Liszt, however. I'll see if I can stream what you posted.

If I listened to all the music on this thread, I'd never get anything else done. But I'll try to listen to as much as I can. I am familiar with Marian Anderson. I've been listening to Maria Callas, however, and trying to understand her voice. It is relatively small, but extremely vulnerable.

i apologize to  audio-b-dog in throwing so much suggestions interrupting his works......

I had another book to suggest though which contain in it the mystery of music in relation to sound...

but i will wait your OK before speaking about it ... 

In the mean time for everybody a documentary about the greatest pianists... for everybody probably one of the best piano documentary ...

I don’t know how to classify Mary Coughlin, except to say, from my perspective, she’s not a Jazz singer., which is in no way intended as a criticism. It would be interesting to hear her with sparser accompaniment.
