Liszt Concerto No2 In A Majors125 Hungarian Fantasia S123 Book And CD Piano

(Music Minus One). Performed by Neill Eisenstein, piano Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn Liszt transformed the whole concept of the concerto when he cast his A-major concerto in one single movement using the idea of thematic transformation. A poetical masterpiece, both serene and glitteringly exciting, which stands at the very pinnacle of Romantic piano literature. Liszt used his own Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14 as the basis for the Hungarian Fantasia, the second piece featured on this MMO release. With its triumphal themes, sparkling cadenzas, and breathtaking finale, this single-movement mini-concerto is a sparkling musical gem! A wonderful, eminently accessible piece due to its relatively short length. Includes a high-quality printed music score and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist.

Just opened and listened to it now. I bought this for the Concerto not the Fantasy so I can't comment on that. While overall the recording's not bad, the company should've picked a better one.The orchestra is sometimes out of synch and the soloist is sloppy and erratic in tempo which makes it hard to get familiar with when you play along eventually. I guess I'm spoiled with my Zimerman recordings, perhaps MMO should listen to him and see how this concerto should really be played. I'm also sure this isn't the original scoring.Again, biggest gripe is the erratic tempo at times. This is a learning tool after all! It's okay if it's a bit boring and strict tempo-wise. I dont know if they performers knew they were recording for MMO; but we need a re-release of this piece.
