Liszt

An appreciation

Highly enjoyable playing by two pioneers of American pianism [RCh]

The complete recorded legacy of a great Golden Age pianist, ideally transferred to CD [RWe]

A recording of the Transcendental Études which compares with the very best [RBe]

(Déjà Review) Highly dynamic and powerful performances, extremely well-recorded in stunning sound [PSh]

The protean but short-lived Wilhelm Grosz in popular fare from Weimar Berlin [JW]

Liszt’s reworkings of Schubert are well worth considering [SB]

Some poetic moments but little sparkle or brilliance [MB]

Lots to enjoy from this pianist who died too young [RCh]

Uncontrived, yet revelatory, interpretations from a neglected podium auteur [NC]

This splendid twofer just shouldn’t be missed [SG]

A fine starter pack for exploring top-notch live ballet on film [RWe]

A consistently engaging anthology of ‘romantic’ music for solo harp, all perceptively played [GPu]

A welcome addition to the Egorov discography [SG]

Another outstanding recital from Levit, with a superb version of the big Busoni work [SB]

(Déjà Review) No Arrau admirer would want to be without it [JW]

More than just a souvenir of a fine recital [DC]

An opportunity to savour Cherkassy’s seductive magic [SG]

The soloists are in fine form in this collection of Liszt’s orchestral songs in engaging period performances [MC]

A wonderful completion of APR’s series exploring Backhaus’ exciting early recording career [RCh]

If you haven’t yet caught up with Hamilton’s Liszt then what are you waiting for? [DMD]

These are striking performances of Tchaikovsky’s renowned Fifth Symphony and Liszt’s Mazeppa [MC]

Backhaus’s earliest recordings reappear, in largely pre-existing restorations, to renewed triumph [JW]

Astonishing playing from a giant of the piano world [RCh]
