Sigismond Thalberg was one of the best-known pianists of the middle 19th century. He was gored by Liszt in a famous critical essay but remained popular, especially in the U.S., where he toured almost incessantly for a time. Thalberg offered not just keyboard-spanning heroics but a singing tone that was one of his trademarks. The pieces here, sympathetically treated by pianist Paul Wee, illustrate this aspect of his work: they are arrangements, by the composer himself, of opera arias and other vocal pieces, wherein the tune is put in the foreground through various ingenious devices. They are not virtuoso paraphrases of the Liszt type but straight presentations of the melodies, with accompaniments that sometimes grow into intricacy but not into fireworks. Wee has specialized in virtuoso repertory by the likes of Alkan, but he has an equally strong presence in this repertory, which is certainly worth rediscovery. Some of the tunes by Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert are well known; others, by the likes of Saverio Mercadante, much less so. There are also unexpected vernacular materials: a Welsh folk song and a Neapolitan tune. With hefty notes by Wee himself, the listener gets a good introduction to the tunes that would have been in the minds of Thalberg's listeners between 1853 and 1863, when these pieces were published. Thalberg wouldn't have played these sequentially but would have interspersed them among virtuoso pieces, and two CDs worth of essentially similar material may be a bit much, but this is material of considerable interest, beautifully played and nicely recorded at the Wyastone Estate hall in the UK.
