‘Howard brings his customary technical wizardry to bear on this outrageously difficult music in an arresting virtuoso display’ (Gramophone)

'Muy interesantes, indispensables para lisztianos' (Ritmo, Spain)

‘A most enjoyable collection’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Even if it contained nothing but the [early version of the] Consolations, this volume would be one of the most revelatory in the series … a major contribution to the catalogue. Enthusiastically endorsed’ (Fanfare, USA)

'Muy interesantes, indispensables para lisztianos' (Ritmo, Spain)

‘Leslie Howard's survey of the whole of Liszt's piano music is disclosing marvels, played with magisterial perception and unfaltering virtuosity; his notes to each record are an enlightenment in themselves … Vol 37 is a record not only to which lovers of Liszt can return, but which should give pleasure to those who may never have heard of some of the composers transcribed but enjoy the minor, overgrown paths of the nineteenth century’ (Gramophone)

«On sera étonné par la suprême droiture du compositeur, traitant des mélodies de Herbeck ou Lassen avec la même science que celles de Schubert» (Diapason, France)
