SHM-SACD

A wild ride through Sonata and Mephisto territory.  The BWV 543 Prelude and Fugue in A minor after Bach is just fantastic.  Liszt set six of Bach's P & F's for organ on the piano and they are such a gift along with the myriad other transcriptions he gave us pianists along with his own original works.  Then the La lugubre gondola which is a fantastic work representing the late Liszt period.  

 

One of the most important musical figures of the 19th century yet many still hang on to old, unjustified, negative stereotypes.  His music can be roughly grouped into three periods through his lifetime.  His piano music alone totals around 16,000 pages of music with an estimated 9-10 million notes.  Franz Liszt's complete oeuvre looks back with reverence to Bach and Beethoven and those before him but also paved the way into the future.

 

Like all great musicians, Liszt asked questions and challenged us but I think he also understood human emotion.
