To get you out of the YW rabbit hole, try Danil Trifonov playing Bach/Liszt Fantasia and Fugue (BWV542). You can really hear the Liszt when the pedal comes out and one of the voices is played in octaves.

As one commenter said, "The fugue was quite simply amazing. Where the hell did this guy come from?"

Thanks! He's quite the wunderkind, isn't he? The video is 41 minutes long! I'll get back to you.

But, Wang is prettier than this guy.

ETA: Only a few minutes in...the videography is outstanding.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

OK - the fugue is at about 7:00.

What the hell?

Amazing.

About 10:55....wow.

I didn't know this was one of Bach's organ fugues (no wonder it sounded unfamiliar to me). What a fantastic piece. 300 years later, the man's genius towers.

Thought you'd like it!


It's 41 minutes but it includes the last Beethoven Sonata. The Bach is only 12 minutes. (I realize you know that, I write that in case anyone else is turned off by the length).
