Liszt / Brownridge - Piano Works - Music CD

Not that every item here can be said to be fully familiar, even to the regular concert-goer, but taken as a whole this programme affords a conspectus of Liszt in various guises: the master of original large-scale form alongside smaller, transcribed gems; the arch-Romantic who understood the music of his great predecessors better than any of his contemporaries, one whose own original music - for all it's powerful empfindsamkeit - was initially firmly rooted in the precepts of the classical masters.
