Reviews

‘As a guide to this cornucopia Leslie Howard could hardly be bettered’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘All kinds of fascinating morsels … there is much here to interest any admirer of this remarkable and prolific composer’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Fascinating trouvailles’ (Classic CD)
Tireless Lisztian William Wright was kind enough to supply a fragment (of an operatic fantasy?) held in Glasgow. So far, it has proved impossible to find the rest of the piece, or to identify the work upon which it is based.

L’infatigable lisztien William Wright eut la gentillesse de nous fournir un fragment (d’une fantaisie opératique?) contenu dans Glasgow. Jusqu’à présent, il s’est révélé impossible de trouver le reste de la pièce, ou d’identifier l’œuvre sur laquelle elle repose.

Français: Hypérion

Der unermüdliche Lisztianer William Wright war so freundlich, ein Fragment (einer Opern-Fantasie?) zur Verfügung zu stellen, das in Glasgow verwahrt wird. Bislang hat es sich als unmöglich erwiesen, den Rest des Stücks zu finden oder das Werk zu identifizieren, auf dem es basierte.
