Reviews

‘A distinguished addition to one of the most important recording projects of the CD era’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Gorgeous stuff!’ (CDReview)
The musical material of the Petite valse favorite provided the basis for the longer Valse-Impromptu (volume 1 of the present series), and was something of a financial success, published by five different companies. However, the revised version of June 1843 remained unpublished until the Neue Liszt-Ausgabe issued it in 1985.

La Petite Valse favorite servit de base à l’écriture de la Valse-Impromptu, œuvre plus conséquente (Volume 1 de cette collection) et fut un réel succès financier dans le sens où elle fut publiée par cinq maisons d’édition différentes. Pourtant, la version révisée de juin 1843 resta inédite jusqu’en 1985, date à laquelle elle fut publiée dans le Neue Liszt-Ausgabe.

Der musikalische Stoff des Petite Valse favorite diente als Grundlage für das längere Valse-Impromptu (Teil 1 der vorliegenden Serie), wurde von fünf verschiedenen Verlagen gedruckt und stellte für Liszt einen finanziellen Erfolg dar. Die revidierte Fassung vom Juni 1843 blieb jedoch bis zu ihrer Aufnahme in die Neue Liszt-Ausgabe im Jahre 1985 unveröffentlicht.
