5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain-priced invitation into Liszt's Musical World July 18 2003
By Gontroppo
Format:Audio CD
Leslie Howard's complete recording of Liszt's Piano Music is surely one of the great musical feats of all time, but not many people would have the desire or time to listen to the whole set. So it is a great thrill that Hyperion has made a 2 disk sampler set available for the rest of us!
It is beautifully packaged, competitively priced and includes interesting notes about Liszt and the works included by the performer himself.

Mr Howard has recorded 145 solo piano CDs, which includes the 95 CDs which make up the complete Liszt piano CDs.

The set includes many well-known pieces, as well as some interesting ones you may not be familiar with.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Howard's Liszt Nov 10 2002
By Daniel Brown
Format:Audio CD
This CD, while fulfilling the intent of covering every aspect of Liszt's piano music, also covers all of Leslie Howard's Liszt interpretations and pianistic style. Howard is one of my favorite pianists, and his best playing by far is on his recordings of the Liszt transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies, which are not included here. However, anyone who wants to get into Liszt should buy this CD before they do anything else. It really is all-encompassing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction Mar 10 2013
By G. Charles Steiner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It took two or three listenings of both CDs before Liszt's piano music captured me completely. Hitting the piano keys cold with my ears -- without any orchestral arrangements in the background was not enticing. However, I soon discovered that some of the compositions did have orchestral backgrounds which made listening more enjoyable and then I discovered that the compositions without orchestral arrangements were exquisite by themselves -- as solo piano pieces, but not at first, like I said.

My personal favorites are all six variations of the "Totentanz" along with "Douze Grands Etudes, No. 2" and "Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth" a deliciously quiet and thoughtful piece.

Titles are very important, I discovered, in Liszt's music. Titles are key in helping to understand the purpose or goal of the composition.

All the compositions on this album are very listenable either as background music or as serious pieces worthy of dedicated attention.
