 | from Liszt: The complete music for solo piano, Vol. 22 - The Beethoven Symphonies (CDA66671/5) 1 Poco sostenuto – Vivace [14'46] 42 minutes 46 seconds 4 tracks2 Allegretto [9'55] 3 Presto – Assai meno presto – Da capo [tutto] – Presto – Assai meno presto – Presto [9'08] 4 Allegro con brio [8'57] ‘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) |
