WAGNER / LISZT
Liszt: Les Préludes / Hungarian Fantasy / etc
Gabor Farkas (piano) / Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Zoltan Kocsis

[ Warner Classics / CD ]

Release Date: Sunday 1 September 2013

The second recording for Warner Classics by the critically acclaimed Hungarian pianist.

Farkas' first recording, 2008's 'An Evening With Liszt' was lauded throughout the European press, and won him the 2009 Franz Liszt International Grand Prix du Disque of the Hungarian Liszt Society.

"The opening minutes of Les Preludes are fuill of promise for an account that mixes grandeur, lyrical ardour and impetuousness well enough. The most dramatic passages are the most ear-catching...Kocsis really exaggerates some aspects of the orchestral writing; an earthy, rough-hewn approach to which Gabor Farkas responds in heroic and glittering style, the piano tone rather hard, not finding much subtlety."
