About This Item
This is the 49th volume in the Naxos series of the complete works of Franz Liszt. Volume 49 features a wide-ranging selection of dance pieces. The Valses oubliées reveal a compound of wistful nostalgia and advanced harmonies while the remarkable Csárdás macabre, a characteristic Hungarian folk-dance, is full of innovative features. The effervescent Mazurka brillante is a very rare example of Liszt making original use of this Polish form, whilst simultaneously transforming it. The Grand Galop cromatique, heard here in two versions, is a bravura encore piece that the young Liszt often played in his virtuoso recitals. The works are presented on this by Goran Filipec, recent laureate of the Granc Prix du Disque of the Ferenc Liszt Society of Budapest. Album Tracks 1. CSÁRDÁS, S225 2. CSÁRDÁS Macabre, S224 3.
