This Classical Pianist Performance is…Insane

December 30, 2016 Alan Cross 0 Comments

Franz Lizst (1811-1886) was something of a classical music rock star in his day. In fact, he’s considered by some to be the first rock star, period. He wrote some incredibly complex pieces that brought the house down whenever they were performed.

His Campanella is considered to one of the most difficult pieces ever written for piano. Gaze in awe at Danill Trifonov as he burns through it. (Via ClassicFM.com)
