Liszt: The Two Piano Concertos; The Piano Sonata

Composer
Recorded
Released

This is the rich and creamy stuff, Liszt at his most dramatic and dynamic. Kondrashin gets the LSO to strap in and move through this very purple landscape while Sviatoslav Richter makes the butterflies come to life with his piano. The true red velvet curtain stuff, the most epicurean of the top shelf Euro-stepping. Bluebird and sleigh bells all the way here.
