It’s been a while I didn’t make a post about classical music. Having amazed by Arcadi Volodos‘ version on Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (S.244), I searched youtube and found Marc-André Hamelin’s version. I can’t say more. This is what I called perfect.
Phew, it seems that I’ll have quite a long way to master this artwork.
Since Michael’s death, I am so much interested on listening his songs and have heard his voice on several genres of songs. He has a wonderful falsetto voice, no doubt about it. Personally, one of my favorite is Billie Jean. I like the beat, the voice and most of all – the dance. Although it’s quite common these days, I still find his original moonwalk dance is unbelievable. I wonder how on earth he could do that! Listening to the song is great, but watching the video clip is even greater.

One of the Best Moonwalk
If any has said that he’s the King of Pop, I am strongly agree with that 
Kalo post-post sebelumnya gw pake Inggris, kali ini gw lagi pengen pake bahasa nasional kita buat ngeblog. Berawal dari ketidaksengajaan gw mengkopi mp3 yang ditaruh di sharefolder di server kantor, coba dengerin lagunya satu per satu, tanpa sengaja gw ketemu satu lagu yang bikin gw jatuh hati.
Lagunya berjudul Eien No Ai yang artinya Cinta Abadi (Forever Love). Meski liriknya bahasa Jepang, tapi dibawakan oleh grup band Ten to Five yang sudah berusaha sangat baik untuk mencoba melafalkan tiap liriknya meski katanya ada beberapa yang meleset. Nada lagunya yang buat gw sangat tertarik, sebelum akhirnya gw cari lirik itu lagu sebenernya apa.
Gw dapet terjemahannya setelah googling. Utk menghormati hasil karya sang penulis blog, gw lampirkan link blognya disini.
Ini bagi yang mau liat video klipnya (meski rada ga nyambung menurut gw):
Ternyata ini lagu udah cukup lama beredar, tapi dasarnya gwnya yg ketinggalan info, jadi baru tau setelah nyomot mp3 orang. Kalau ada yang punya tipe lagu sejenis (slow), di-comment ya. Buat share yang lain juga. Thx.
I just founded an amazing video (on youtube) presenting Silvije Vidovic plays the famous Liszt’s Trois Études de Concert Un Sospiro. This is the first time I have ever seen someone could play Un Sospiro so smooth and flawless, like Arcadi Volodos do.
As you might already know, Liszt’s music artworks are considered to be one of the most difficult to play in piano because of its necessity to play fast but smooth. That is the main reason why artworks made by Liszt and Beethoven have always been the most common requirement for contestants to perform in the most major piano competitions in the world.
I embedded the video below. Inform me if you find a better play on video in Un Sospiro.
