LISZT (THE VERY BEST OF)
Franz Liszt epitomizes the nineteenth-century virtuoso-composer of Romantic ideals and aspirations. He redefined artistic and technical possibilities of the modern piano as an instrument and as a centrepiece of the concert stage. This 2-CD collection showcases all-time favourites, including Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and Liebesträume, as well as symphonic poems such as Les Préludes and the Faust Symphony.
