KronosCodename Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - My words cannot express the talent of this insane. The magnitude of the way he plays a very simbolic and historic piece as the Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 from a very renomated erudite composer Franz Liszt, is completely unimaginable and unbelievable. Although looks - maybe can be - insane, he is - no doubt about that - a perfect pianist, that certainly has successfuly reached the excelence.
bbtoob Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - Come on KronosCodename, take a stand and say what you really think! Just kidding, and he's definitely not too bad.

Mar 7, 2010 - @btboob There you are holding court on Hamelin's clip! but you are the court jester, the proverbial pagliacco :-)))why don't you leave people alone! you are not posting opinions, you insult other artists. I also see you have a bias against Americans and American pianists!!! and you ARE the moron who harassed and insulted Jung Lin - an extraordinary artist!
bbtoob Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - Oooh. That almost looks like hate mail...
malibubmb Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - BBtoob why don't you stop bullying others here - remove your comment to KronosCodename, stop posting insults on other artists clips, and have someone edit your comment before you post (better chance you will make sense)The more you post, the more you prove to be a self-appointed expert-bully-moron! have multiple problems? SBD? SDS? off the meds? girlie man in real life?
bbtoob Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - hmmm....more hate mail....You claim I bully and then you try to bully me into removing a comment that is none of your business since it's not directed at you, and you're not even bright enough to actually READ - I said "just kidding.." at the end, sheep person. Then at the end of your rant you hurl multiple inappropriate remarks because of your apparent frustration due to your complete lack of mental acuity. You really don't have a clue, do you?

Mar 7, 2010 - @malibubmb I am with you all the way bro! why is this guy posting nasty comments? any idea? I can't find any sane reasons.
johnnyblue34 Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - @isayiwillLooks like we both like MAH :-) and then there is this guy bbtoob here :-((((
bbtoob Says:
Mar 7, 2010 - ...who likes M.A. Hamelin too.

Mar 7, 2010 - Many comments here & elsewhere expose vanity, hate, conceit, egos, & ignorance. (Seems to fill a need for attention.) Self serving comments are found in other music, the cartoons, moon landing, science lectures, the LHC at Cern & many other videos. Let them rant. You can see MAH enjoyed this performance. Enjoy it with him.
Isayiwill Says:
Mar 8, 2010 - Yeah, you're complicating things, time travel is a piece of cake, really. Just make sure to check some old newspaper microfiche archives for the weather report before you go. Those already fallen rain drops are said to be killers...
bbtoob Says:
Mar 8, 2010 - @scienceandmusiclover: okey-dokey!
bbtoob Says:
Mar 8, 2010 - @IsayiwillSage advise, nothing but sage advise...
johnnyblue34 Says:
Mar 8, 2010 - Things are getting more complicated by the minute :-))The "exposition" is incomplete - it misses "like, admire, love" all the positive emotions, all the happy feelings one may have - and we all have them, I assume :-))
Isayiwill Says:
Mar 9, 2010 - @johnnyblueI'm with scienceandmusiclover, this is no place for bad vibes. Let's just enjoy M.A.H's HR2. And Jung Lin's, of course. Or whichever version is your favourite of the day. Good night, and God bless Hungary, wherever you are.
bbtoob Says:
Mar 9, 2010 - ...or trying to pick a fight with someone...up with music!!!
johnnyblue34 Says:
Mar 9, 2010 - @Isayiwill Hi, I'm with you for good vibes :-)I believe in Rach's never to be matched creative genius, Horowitz as the great Rach interpreter, and Jung Lin's perfection in blending extraordinary technique with sensitivity and affinity to Rach (and Chopin, Liszt...) And it was a revelation to hear Rach playing the HR2 on youtube after I heard Jung Lin's: what an extraordinary similarity :-)Cziffra brings more of Hungary into his HR2 - nothing but good vibes for me in Hungary, loved it :-)

Mar 10, 2010 - I'm 30 and about to start learning the piano. can i learn this?? obviously not as good as this but... still... if I put my 10,000 hours in. pianists please let me know..
bbtoob Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - Wow! Might as well shoot high! Best of luck.
gerdokurt Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - @jimbozaifyi dont want to disapoint you,but i dont think that u will handle it.u have to learn the easy and elementary things and sorry,i think 30 is a little bit too late to start with that.but i always say: impossible is nothing.but i have done the experience that it doesnt make fun to try something where the elementary things are missing...that could take your the fun of playing piano.greets
gerdokurt Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - the point is that,that hamelins playing look sooo easy and you underrate .when i playing this piece here,i cant believe that that hamelin and I are playing the same piece..i have the feeling that i have to work 1000 times more with my hands than hamelin...he is a god of technic,i cant subscribe that with my "bad" english :)
advisorC101 Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - It's never too late to learn. But as gerdokurt says, you have to start out easy, otherwise technique and musicianship will be compromised.
bbtoob Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - @gerdokurtYou're English is far better than my attempt at your first language, ha ha. You're message comes through very clearly, no worries.
