Liszt: Complete Piano Music Vol. 65

Williams, Christopher

8.574614

For almost five decades, Franz Liszt wrote music that incorporated Hungarian elements and celebrated his country’s musical idioms. One of the most famous of these pieces was the Rákóczi March, two different versions of which can be heard in this album, the first in full sonata form, and the second in a more concise version. Liszt often utilised the verbunkos tradition as he does in Magyar dallok along with infectious dulcimer evocations, folk scales, drama and melancholy. Two ontrasting versions of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 – Magyar tempo and Célèbre mélodie hongroise – round out this evocative Hungarian selection.
