“Idil Biret’s new Liszt album prompts a reappraisal of her extraordinary talent… In her Liszt Sonata… you will hear playing of a formidable power and assurance… There is no mistaking her lightning refl exes in the second of the Paganini Etudes and her vivo in the imitation sautillé bowing of No. 4 would make even Heifetz envious. Biret’s brilliant, iron-clad Steinway is well recorded and… in her Liszt, there is stunning profi ciency and a forbidding manner very much her own.” Gramophone, 2011 “Biret sweeps through the set [of Etudes] with unfaltering assurance and in No. 9, the prototype for 'La ricordanza'...she is as affectionate as she is dextrous. Elsewhere there are suspicions of a 'play the notes and the rest will look after itself' philosophy...Biret rides [Il Lamento's] storms with an thunder-and-lightening virtuosity.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2011 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Liszt Complete Music for Solo Piano 38: Les Préludes
Six of Liszt's important contributions to the literature of the pianoforte étude occupy the centre of this programme. They are flanked by two works unfamiliar in their present guise: the solo piano versions of Les Préludes and Der nächtlige Zug (the first of the Episodes from Lenau's Faust). The Faust legend preoccupied Liszt for much of his life, Goethe's rendering of it inspiring the orchestral masterpiece, the Faust Symphony. Among the works inspired by Lenau's poem we find the Episodes here presented. Der nächtlige Zug is clearly one of his finest works and its neglect in all of its guises is inexplicable; the second of the episodes is an early version of the phenomenally successful First Mephisto Waltz. “A rewarding collection, very well played and recorded” Penguin Guide | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

The cornerstone of our Liszt 200 celebration is a 34-CD limited edition superbudget box in the style of our Brahms and Schumann boxes of previous years: a bold cube with flip lid adorned with three striking images of the composer. Divided into six musical-genre sections, the box covers the range of Liszt’s vast oeuvre like no other box on the market. The pianists range from Krystian Zimerman, Daniel Barenboim, Claudio Arrau, Nikita Magaloff, Wilhelm Kempff , Robert Szidon, Lazar Berman, Jorge Bolet (“compelling” Concert Studies, Schubert transcriptions), to Alice Sara Ott (with her acclaimed 12 Transcendental Studies). In the Orchestral Works, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti and Iván Fischer maintain the highest standards. The singers include Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, in his classic recordings with Daniel Barenboim, as well as Hildegard Behrens and Brigitte Fassbaender. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
