Liszt - Piano Sonata & Transcendental Etudes
Francesco Piemontesi (piano)
Pianist Francesco Piemontesi presents Franz Liszt's Transcendental Etudes and Sonata in B Minor, two of the highest mountains to climb within the piano repertoire. The metaphor of climbing a mountain not only applies to the technical demands placed on the player, but also to the sublime nature of these works: colourful, poetic, lyrical, and bold in their construction. Piemontesi has taken his time before embarking on this epic journey, and the recording documents how his interpretation of these legendary works has matured over time. Unique to this album are the liner notes, written by Nike Wagner, the great-great-granddaughter of Liszt.
Francesco Piemontesi is among the most-cherished pianists of our age, and presents the fourth fruit of his exclusive collaboration with Pentatone, having released the acclaimed Schubert - Last Piano Sonatas (2019), Bach Nostalghia (2021) and Schoenberg, Messiaen & Ravel with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and Jonathan Nott (2022).

It’s been worth the wait. Each piece reflects absolute clarity of intention, even in the case of the longest and most episodic one, ‘Ricordanza’...The Sonata in B minor gets a noble reading here, with Piemontesi deploying all the weapons in his armoury to pin us in our seats for this wordless but eloquent story.
Jan/Feb 2024
Piemontesi’s Sonata in B Minor takes you to the heart of every mood and gesture in a way that captivates your attention without pause. If I seem to be making him the beau ideal of pianists, he nearly is.
