This new Liszt recording presents a generous selection of the transcriptions that Franz Liszt made of orchestral works by Wagner.
Liszt, an ardent and devoted admirer of Wagner, supported him by performing his new operas in Weimar, and by making transcriptions to further popularise the music of his idol. Liszt, the pianistic wizard, transfers the orchestral sonorities to the piano, creating a new work of art, instead of a mere piano reduction of an orchestral score.
The famous Tannhäuser Overture doesn’t lose anything in grandeur and bombast on the piano, and Isolde’s Liebestod is an exquisite, moving pianistic masterwork on its own.
