Liszt Piano Works

François-René Duchable

Classical - Released July 3, 2006 | Warner Classics

If you want to make a splash as a virtuoso pianist, play Liszt. That's what young French pianist François-René Duchable did in this 1996 recital: he programmed the most intensely virtuosic, overtly emotional, and deliberately effusive works of Liszt and played end to end. From the opening Funérailles through the Méphisto Waltz and the Liebestraum No. 3 to the closing Un sospiro and La campanella, Duchable leaves none of the Hungarian Romantic greatest hits unplayed. And, boy, Duchable sure can play! His technique is incredibly athletic, his tone is amazingly luxurious, his control of phrasing, dynamics, and tempo is absolutely complete. What's more, Duchable has heart. The endless longing of Liebestraum, the ineffable beauty of Jeux d'eau a la Villa d'Este, the palpable sensuality of Un sospiro: all the emotional power of Liszt's Romantic music is manifest in Duchable's performance. If one could fault these performances, it might be for being too French and not enough Hungarian, that is, Duchable's lithe and luminous Liszt could seem too much the pianistic godfather of Debussy and Ravel rather than the compositional father Bartók. But for listeners who prefer their Liszt with a French accent and are looking for a single-disc collection of his best-known piano works in clean, direct digital sound, Duchable's recital will be just the thing.© TiVo

Liszt: Piano Sonata in B Minor & Grandes études de Paganini

Cécile Ousset

Classical - Released March 1, 2005 | Warner Classics

Even though EMI has reissued some interesting old recordings in its "encore" series, there are some that seem to have been brought out of storage a bit past their prime and that may be disappointing because of their weak audio reproduction. Cécile Ousset's flashy readings of Franz Liszt's Sonata in B minor, S. 178, and the Paganini Studies, S. 141, date from 1984, and as one might expect, they sound like early digital recordings in their lack of presence, chilly ambience, and shallow dimensions. Something of a rarity, Ousset's animated and energetic interpretations may rescue this CD for fans who have never heard her play Liszt before; or the budget price may at least make it acceptable for others. But listeners accustomed to terrific-sounding, state-of-the-art recordings will still find it hard to sit through, chiefly because of the piano's hollow sound and the overly echoic acoustics. These recordings have not been remastered for this 2003 reissue.© TiVo

Liszt: Harmonies poétiques et religieuses

Saskia Giorgini

Solo Piano - Released December 11, 2021 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Introspective music of ravishing beauty. After two song albums together with Ian Bostridge, pianist Saskia Giorgini presents Franz Liszt’s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses. Liszt is often seen as a showman, but much of his music reveals his introspective, searching nature. This is demonstrated above all in Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, one of his most ambitious, contemplative and enigmatic compositions, inspired by Lamartine’s eponymous poetry, Liszt’s Roman Catholic faith as well as the 1848-1849 revolutions. To Giorgini, “this music is deeply humane and sincere, tender, but also full of the most sorrowful, violent, painful moments that Liszt ever put into music”. Its ten movements constitute a quest for the deeper meaning of human existence, clothed in music of ravishing beauty. Saskia Giorgini is one of the most promising pianists of her generation, who has won several competitions and is hailed for her technical command and the beauty and poetry of her sound. © Pentatone

Liszt - Années de pèlerinage

Suzana Bartal

Classical - Released March 6, 2020 | naïve classique

Hi-Res Booklet
These Années de pèlerinage by Franz Liszt (1811-1856) – the monumental piano work in three books that he composed over four decades – invites us on a threefold voyage: a journey through the thought and the art of a composer who gifted all his visionary genius to the piano; here he transcribes an actual physical geography, and transcends it with some of the most accomplished piano writing ever crafted. Our radiant guide on this great adventure is French-Hungarian pianist Suzana Bartal. From the bucolic Swiss scenes of nature to the evanescent mysticism of the final book, via the sudden flashes of the well-known Orage (Storm) and Après une lecture du Dante (After reading Dante), the pianist – one of the rare performers to present a complete recording of this dense, demandingly virtuosic masterwork – opens up astounding perspectives of sound and vision. ‘What I wanted was to translate this mixture of inspiration and technical brilliance so as to highlight the poetic aspect of these pieces,’ she says. ‘My core aim is to guide the listener through this poetic journey in all its incredible variety, by clearly defining the character of each piece so as to recreate their different worlds.’ © naive classique

Sviatoslav Richter plays Liszt & Chopin

Sviatoslav Richter

Classical - Released August 17, 2018 | Profil

Booklet
Here is a new touchstone piece in the discography of the great Soviet pianist, after several albums already released by the same label. Recorded in concert in Moscow, Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and London between 1948 and 1963, this new, important corpus of recordings contains 29 never-before-heard pieces of the hundred-odd pieces presented here. Just two composers, Liszt and Chopin, received invitations to this musical party, with several works in several versions, the fruit of numerous recordings. Not a single crumb is neglected: this is an opportunity to enjoy the thousand and one facets that set apart an exceptional musical talent with all the fantasies and variations that one would expect of a great pianist. First of all, we have two different versions of two concertos (with Kondrashin and Ančerl), the Années de pèlerinage, and a selection of Études including the mind-bending Feux follets. Next up, a substantial selection of fourteen Études, the four Ballads, the Barcarolle and compilations of Waltzes, Nocturnes, Mazurkas, Polonaises and Scherzos which provides an overview of this artist with a volcanic temperament, often lofty, and inspired by a great breath of romanticism. As a bonus, we have the complex 2e Sonata by Szymanowski, a composer for whom Sviatoslav Richter spent his life as a prominent advocate, most of all here in this monumental sonata, which he brought to his many audiences over fifty years. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Liszt : Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, Sonate en si mineur

François-Frédéric Guy

Classical - Released March 17, 2011 | Zig-Zag Territoires

For the 200th anniversary of the birth of Franz Liszt, pianist François-Frédéric Guy has recorded an impressive album of the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses and the Sonata in B minor, a presentation that covers two CDs and demonstrates both the composer's inexhaustible imagination and the performer's commitment to the music. Because Harmonies poétiques et religieuses is predominantly defined by its meditative quality and serene moods, it contains some of Liszt's most sustained and shimmering music, and the expressive control required to play at a soft level for most of the work is fully evident in Guy's rapt and gentle performance. The sonata, on the other hand, is a dramatic counterweight to the soothing lyricism of Harmonies, and it's dynamic energy is compressed in its half-hour duration, in contrast to the nearly 100 minutes it takes to play the first work. After hearing Guy's quiet interpretation of Harmonies, his performance of the sonata is almost startling in its power and passion. Guy unleashes the kinetic energy that had been held in reserve and rises to the demands of this tempestuous work. The reproduction is clear and quite resonant, which is fine in the sonata, but tends toward blurred textures in Harmonies without some careful volume adjustment.© TiVo
