Pianist: Yundi Li plays Liszt's piano reduction of Verdi's "Rigoletto" Opera Fantasy, an Oriental piece by composer Wang titled "Sunflower" and finally another Liszt, the 3rd Etude based on a variation of a theme of Paganini, "La Campanella" in B minor S. 141.
Composed 1838, revised 1851. Liszt was 27 when he composed this piece.
Pianist: Marc-Andre Hamelin playing Liszt's 2nd Hugarian Rhapsody in C-sharp minor, S. 244. a.k.a "the bugs bunny/tom & jerry song," with original Cadenza. Incredible interpretation.
Pianist Yun-Yang Lee playing the 3rd movement of Edward Grieg's Piano Concerto in A-minor, Op. 16 No. 1. Great interpretation.
Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the orchestra or the conductor. If you have that info, and care to share, please do :)

This is Massimiliano Ferrati playing Chopin's 1st Ballade in G-minor. This performance is kind of weak, in my humble opinion. It lacks the Gusto, the .. UMPH that other performances have had.

The genius is at it again! Here, Borge plays -some- of the Tchaikovsky concerto No. 1 with a few extra goodies added in. This video always makes me smile.
