LISZT, F.: Fantaisie romantique sur deux mélodies suisses / Fantaisie symphonique (Liszt Complete Piano Music, Vol. 64) (S. Gallo)

Franz Liszt’s prolific output as a composer was maintained during a stormy life and performing career. As a result, many works were revised before they became the popular pieces we know and love today. This wonderful selection of earlier and lesser-known versions of Liszt’s masterpieces includes the majestic Paralipomènes à la Divina Commedia, alongside other pieces that shed light on spiritual aspects of the final version of Années de pèlerinage. The relatively unfamiliar Fantasie romantique, with its evocations of the Swiss Alps, is also featured.
