Liszt's Concertante music!! No other collection like it!!.......2002-12-23

Leslie Howard--What would we do without him??? He's a music giant! He serves us both as a musician and a Liszt-historian, tracking down some long-lost scores of Liszt's music and bringing them to life and to the public for the first time, in some cases since the debut of the works' performance, in some cases the first time ever.
This, plus Vol. 2 of this series-within-a-series is some of the greatest music ever written combining the forces of a piano virtuoso with a symphony orchestra (Right up there with Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov), and not only top-notch performances of the classic Concerto #1 (#2 is on Vol 2) and the Totentanz, there's also the beautiful Fantasy on Berlioz's Lelio, the long-abandoned Concerto in E-Flat (believed to be #3 for many years), a Concerto arranged for strings-only with piano, a Fantasy on Beethoven's "Ruins of Athens" culminating in the great "March of the Turks", and a version of Carl Maria von Weber's "Grand Polonaise Brilliante" that Liszt re-arranged for piano and orchestra (He does this same feat with Schubert's "Wanderer Fantasie" on the next vol.) showing Liszt's impeccable talent for working well with other composers' music.
The sound of this all-digital collection is fabulous--Perhaps a little on the compressed side, but I certainly could let that slide in favor of the material! And did I mention Leslie Howard can play?? Boy can he!! If you really like Liszt, this is a MUST-HAVE!!

Lots of music well-played a bargain buy it.......2000-12-09

Run on sentence, but it's true. There's a volume II which covers the gamut of Liszt's writing for piano & orchestra. I'm familiar with a few other performances of the piano concerti and these compare favorably, believe me. The other unfamiliar pieces are very entertaining and as we expect from Liszt go from great highs to a few questionable passages but there's so much good music on these two long discs I'd say snatch this one right up along with the next volume.

Striking and richly played.......2006-09-07

Leslie Howard's 5th Volume in his "Complete Music for Solo Piano" enterprise is certainly one of the best recordings in the series. Some of these have never been recorded and most of them are hardly played at all. I must praise Mr. Howard enthusiastically for bringing such neglected but superior works to our ears.

Liszt's piano transcription of Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre" is a superlative effort, demonstrating not just Saint-Saens compositional genius, but Liszt's transcribing abilities of the highest degree. This piece played on piano evokes the same images from the orchestral symphonic poem: dancing skeletons, cold winds, and an almost impish atmosphere like something from a Mephisto Waltz. I actually prefer Arnaldo Cohen's superbly chilling interpretation on the Naxos label, but Howard is no slacker either.

Chopin's Op. 74, the seventeen polish songs are not well known at all. Liszt's "Six Chants Polonais" are therefore a blessing. I'm glad Liszt transcribed them to perhaps popularize them as individual piano pieces without voice. All of these are delightful pieces, typical of Chopin's lyricism. They sound remarkable on piano and I feel they translate even better through Liszt's fingers; I listened to the actual original songs and for some reason I always miss Liszt's transcriptions. For those unfamiliar with these, "The Maiden's Wish," "Spring," "My Joys" and of course the phenomenal "Homeward" are the musical rubies here. Howard plays with the perfect combination of refined touch, graceful tempo, and the flare of Chopin's fury when needed. Just listen to the "Homeward" piece: short and tempestuous, but it speaks volumes with Liszt's transcription and under Howard's fingers.

Half of this disc consists of Berlioz transcriptions and they were my main reason for buying this. I also think they out-class the Saint-Saens and Chopin transcriptions preceeding them. The "L'Idee Fixe" is a heart-wrenching repose of serenity, a piece actually *composed* by Liszt based off of Berlioz' 'Symphonie Fantastique.' The rest of the works featured on this disc are transcriptions of the highest caliber. Take the Overture from "Les Francs-Juges." What an incredible and colossal work of tremendous music. Under Liszt's pianistic achievement, you can some of the richest harmonies and sounds from the piano. Strap yourself in for an engrossing and heaven-storming 13 minutes. Following this is the Beethoven-like "Marche des Pelerins" from Berlioz' 'Harold en Italie.' Liszt's sensible transcription is a splendid showcase of the dynamics and tension that can be suspended in the midst of a relatively quiet piece. The entire work floats with a mysterious tranquillity and is certainly original music from Berlioz. "Valse des Sylphes" from the 'La Damnation de Faust' is an exquisite transcription with a more calm and nocturnal inspiration.

However, the subsequent and final transcription is an epic and grand finale to the wonderful CD. Music of the sublime, the dramatic, and the most pleasing harmonies can be found here. At times it whirls and speaks like the triumphant heroism and undeniable tension found in Beethoven's music. The first 4 or so minutes engage in the most beautiful music I've heard from Berlioz. Obviously Liszt does the music justice on the piano. Progressing into new worlds, the work clashes and drives itself through some rich harmonies and incredible virtuosic displays. At 16 minutes, the piece packs a punch (how's that alliteration?). Berlioz is truly a genius and a master with melodic music material (wow I'm on a roll). And I'm once again in awe at Liszt's astounding abilities. The way he transfers the orchestral effects, the layers of sound and the tones of the instruments to piano is mystifying and ultimately amazing. Also, I think his promotion of such music through his transcriptions is clear testament to how much he understood and could distinguish the masterpieces of his time.

Bottom line: With 59 or more recordings in Leslie Howard's Hyperion series of Liszt's music, this is surely ranking in the top 10. Berlioz' unbelievably original and captivating music is only enhanced and enthroned to a higher status with Liszt's outstanding transcriptions. Additionally, you also get a great interpretation (with so few out there) of the Chopin and Saint-Saens transcription(s). Highly Recommended!

Berlioz-Liszt and Howard: We couldn't wish for more.......2003-02-24

This fifth volume of 95-CD traversal featuring the complete piano music of Liszt finds Howard at his very best. A truly spectacular album, rightly awarded (1991) with the most prestigious Liszt Academy Grand Prix and a superb triumph for Howard's magisterial, incomparable pianism. What else: just go out and buy it !

Don't read if you want a review on this album "Walking in the Air"

The cd mentioned in the title of my review comes with a small book attached to the cd case and has an added bonus- Music with or WITHOUT the narraration! Tracks include:
1 The Story of the Snowman (15:30)
2 Walking in the Air (3:30)
3 The Story of the Snowman (Continued) (6:40)
4 The Snowman Soundtrack (15:30)
5 Walking in the Air (3:30)
6 The Snowman Soundtrack (Continued) (6:40)

Both tracks of Walking in the Air are sung by Peter Auty (I believe the only difference is you get the tail end of the Narrarator's "Flyyyyy....." at the beginning of track 2)
This cd is one of my favorites in my massive collection and I only wish
Blakes soundtrack to "The Bear" was available in this same format.
Hope this helps the other reviewer here and anyone who is looking for the soundtrack to "The Snowman"

Still not really The Snowman theme.......2005-05-21

The first track is not the theme of The Snowman as heard on the movie and sung by Aled Jones. If you want that version, and you should, then I'm afraid you need to keep looking.

I listened to the samples and theya re OK, I really don't have a review of the whole album so don't pay much attention if you are interested in the overall effect.

A fantastic quadripartie recital by lisztian Leslie Howard.......2004-07-04

If you're a fan of this series, then you will be interested in hearing these first drafts and fragments. It is intriguing to see how several of the Album-Leaves' tunes were to later become the main themes of some of Liszt's popular works.
In this volume, I especially value the solo piano transcriptions of some of Liszt's symphonic poems (Mazeppa being my favorite, although as Mr. Howard explains, all these transcriptions were actually done by Liszt's pupils, with the master reviewing each transcription and then giving his approval).
My most favorite piece, of sheer delight, is on disc 4, the Pasztor Lakodalmas. Many thanks to Leslie Howard for discovering this utterly charming piece and making it available for us to hear!

Liszt you won't hear anywhere else.......2001-07-12

Four CDs of unpublished or recently discovered Liszt piano music, much of it very very nice indeed. Some first drafts, fragments, discarded pieces...a hodgepodge! But if you're a Liszt completist like me you won't want to be without it. Many thanks to Leslie Howard for his scholarship (and playing, of course) in this volume.

Bargain-priced invitation into Liszt's Musical World.......2003-07-19

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.

The best of Howard's Liszt.......2002-11-11

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.
