from Liszt: The complete music for solo piano, Vol. 22 - The Beethoven Symphonies (CDA66671/5) 1 Adagio – Allegro vivace [10'24] 31 minutes 44 seconds 4 tracks2 Adagio [9'00] 3 Menuetto: Allegro vivace – Trio: Un poco meno allegro – Tempo I – Un poco meno Allegro – Tempo I [5'21] 4 Allegro ma non troppo [6'59] ‘This really is a pretty phenomenal achievement. I urge Lisztians to hear it, and even those who collect the proper versions of the Beethoven Symphonies—it is a marvellous way of hearing them afresh’ ... ‘The combination of devotion and diligence which both [Leslie Howard] and Liszt had lavished on getting to the heart of these inexhaustible works is staggering’ (Classic CD) ‘Howard's performances are, like nearly all in this series, consistently distinguished’ (Fanfare, USA) |
