Top 10 Liszt Albums
Kevin N
however, hope to supplement my collection with about 10 new discs for
the upcoming bicentenary, and such lists will be greatly helpful in
making the choices. I probably already have a couple that might show
up, such as Cziffra's 50s recording of the Hungarian Rhapsodies and
Bolet's recording of the Transcendental Etudes. Many Thanks!
SPAM- @xs4all.nl HvT
My personal favourites at this moment, and in no particular order:
1. Lise de la Salle's most recent recording, simply called Liszt - best
recent Liszt recording by far
2. Brendel's Liszt 2CD set on Vox
3. Hamelin's recent Liszt CD
4. Ginzburg's Live Recordings Vol. II, CD1 with a selection from the Années
and Schubert transcriptions
5. Kempff's Liszt on DG (also in the GPOC)
6. Volodos' complete Liszt CD, it took me some time before I could
appreciate it (following the music with the score helped immensely) - only
then it becomes clear what he can do with the piano
7. Bavouzet's MDG recording of Liszt
8. Chamayou's live recording of Liszt's transcendental etudes - a
fascinating but far from perfect recording by a brilliant young pianist
9. Groh's Liszt recording because of his classical approach (without
becoming too obsessed by it like Dichter in some of his performances of the
rhapsodies)
10. Lazaridis' Liszt CD with the Paganini etudes - a brilliant pianist and
victim of the love of showmanship these days
I didn't mention Cziffra because you already mentioned him. I didn't mention
Lortie because I believe that I'm his only admirer on RMCR. I didn't mention
Korstick because I'm waiting for his last Années. The quality of his
performances tend to be uneven.

Was about Leslie Howard, the guy who recorded every last note, in
every version?

You’re not alone ... definitely not! I joined this exclusive
club when I came across his magnificent reading of Stravinsky’s
»Trois movements de Petrouchka«.

I would say that all Liszt by Leslie Howard is forgettable.... I'd
rather settle for less Liszt (i.e not every version of every work he
has written) than for all Liszt by Howard.... France Clidat, the
French pianist, recorded all original Liszt (that means that it
doesn't include the transcriptions) in the 60's/70's and they have
been recently reissued by Decca. That would be my choice if you really
want "a lot of " Liszt. If not, anthologies by Arrau (very cheap on
Eloquence now!) or Bolet are self-commanding!

These 2 new ones, to be released in Sept. and Oct., may be on a "top
10" list some day, and the Aimard is an interesting concept :
Aimard :
Lang Lang :
I would also mention the Pogorelich 1991 DGG cd of the Liszt Sonata ,
the Richter/Kondrashin concertos originally on Phillips 35mm, Berman's
"L'Annees", and the old "Horowitz Plays Liszt " ( title ?) originally
on RCA with the 2nd,6th,15th Rhapsodies,Valse Ouiblees,Au bord. Some
early Fiorentino, on APR, should be considered,too.
Good hunting !

Au contraire – there are many hidden (and not so hidden)
gems, and none of them forgettable.

What *is* it about DGG? "The Liszt Legacy," interesting as it appears, is
mostly music of other composers; and this one, with the even stupider title
"The Liszt Project" (wow, like nobody has ever done anything before that
could be considered a "Liszt Project"!), is only about half Liszt. Is DGG
embarrassed by Liszt's music or something?

So glad you have discovered this marvelous disc, Henk.

Doesn't anyone want to include the Mephisto Waltz CD with Hatto,
produced my William Barrington-Coupe, certainly one of the most
memorable Liszt CDs ever?
mandryka
I've been exploring the late vocal music. I've known Reinbert de
Leeuw's Via Crucis for years and highly recommend it. The requiem is
in a similar style and I've been enjoying Janos Ferencsik's CD with
the Hungarian Army. Also the record by Arpad Joo of the Legend of St
Elizabeth is also well worth having.
I've also been playing Nikolai Gedda's song recordings on spotify and
I like them a lot. In my pre-spotify days Thomas Hampson was my
stalwart for Liszt but now I think I prefer Gedda.
As far as piano is concerned, one thing I liked a lot is Mykola Suk's
recordings of Hungarian Rhapsodies.
I'm interested in transcriptions and I've enjoyed a couple of
recordings recently: Roger Woodwards Beethoven/Liszt Eroica, which has
been transferred on symphonyshare. And Nikolai Petrov's Berlioz /Liszt
Symphony Fantastique. I prefer both of these to Jando or Howard. Also
Padrone's Schubert/Liszt.
I like the dark side, and Sunt Lacrymae Rerum played by Nyiregyhazi
continues to fascinate me. The whole LP, which is transferred on
demonoid, is a curate's egg.
For the big sonatas, there's an early recording by Kemal Gekic of the
Dante Sonata which I have played with pleasure three or four times
over the past
few months.
So my List of 10 is
1. Reinbert de Leeuw's Via Crucis
2 Janos Ferencsik's Requiem
3. Arpad Joo's St Elizabeth
4. Nikolai Gedda Lieder (3 vols)
5. Nyiregyhazi's LP with the threnodies
6 Mykola Suk's Hungarian Rhapsodies
7. Roger Woodwards Beethoven/Liszt Eroica
8. Padrone's Schubert/Liszt
9. Nikolai Petrov's Berlioz /Liszt Symphony Fantastique
10.Kemal Gekic Dante Sonata
There -- hopefully that has less typos

What a silly, ignorant dismissal of a man's life's work! Would that
you had ever done (or said?) anything even 1/100th as interesting.
Just unbelievable. And bitchy.
You may find him less like Martha Argerich, your heroine in all
matters, but that does not mean his work is "forgettablE" The problem
may, in fact, be your attention span, which would seem to resemble
that of a gnat!!! No wonder you can't remember anything.

How would I find and download this? (Sheesh, I'm sounding like Paul Haebler,
except for the fact that I actually bought the LPs new and still own them,

Thanks - I must have missed that thread with all these Google Groups
outages. Also thanks to Henk, whose list is exactly the sort of thing
I was looking for, to Mandryka, whose list was not exactly what I was
looking for, but opened up a whole new and exciting vista of Liszts
work for me (I had been under the impression that he was primarily a
keyboard composer who dabbled in some orchestral music), and everyone
else who has been helpful.

That reminds me of a personal favorite: Cyprien Katsaris' recording of
the Beethoven symphonies in the Liszt transcriptions. That guy has

This may very well belong to *any* list of great live piano recordings. I personally attended a similar concert (not in Milan but in nearby Bergamo) at the time, same program, same combination of virtuoso playing and musical sensitivity, same avalanche of wrong notes, same stamina (just listen to Orage, that was one of the encores *after* all the 6 Moments Musicaux and all the 12 Transcendental Etudes!!).

This is from an old thread, but I only now have had the great pleasure of hearing France Clidat's Liszt, via the 14-CD Decca France box.
I do have one problem, though, even though I've only listened to one disc all the way through, the one with the Sonata. The audio is claustrophobic. It sounds as if it were NoNoised to death.
Does anyone know if the original LPs or any other CD issues also have the top end and the air missing? If there are better-sounding releases, I might spend some bucks on them.
Thanks,
Steve

Very interesting talk by Leeuw. Leeuw is on Spotify playing Via Crusis solo as well as with a choir. I am listening as I am typing :-)
