'There is not the slightest point in producing yet another recorded
version of the Beethoven symphonies. Far cheaper and rather more
entertaining to hire a lone pianist and see what he can make of the
standard fare. With his versions of the Beethoven nine Liszt hoped to
spread knowledge of the originals. Now we are simply enthralled to
hear how successfully a crack pianist can pretend to be both Liszt and
an orchestra.'
