Liszt: Complete Piano Music: Konzertsolo & Odes Funebres (Incls Fantasia and Fugue on BACH)

This third release in the series of Liszt's complete piano music contains a mixture of the known and the unknown, and comprises some of Liszt's forays into larger forms (others are the Sonata, the Scherzo and March and the transcriptions). The first obvious feature is that Liszt never repeated a formal structure-and this applies equally well to the shorter piano works, and certainly to the orchestral, choral and chamber music. His search for new forms was constant and, while the Sonata and the 'Faust' Symphony may be his finest resolutions of the quest, his solutions are always of interest for their very variety of invention.
