About

Franz Liszt’s prolific output as a composer was maintained during a stormy life and performing career. As a result, many works were revised before they became the popular pieces we know and love today. This wonderful selection of earlier and lesser-known versions of Liszt’s masterpieces includes the majestic Paralipomènes à la Divina Commedia, alongside other pieces that shed light on spiritual aspects of the final version of Années de pèlerinage. The relatively unfamiliar Fantaisie romantique, with its evocations of the Swiss Alps, is also featured.

This recording is a fine addition to our already extensive catalogue of Liszt’s solo piano music, presenting as it does some of the less frequently heard versions of parts of the fabulous and justly popular Années de pèlerinage. Fans of this work and of Liszt in general will want to supplement their collections with this gem of a recital, with its discoveries of beautiful music that the composer left out of the final score of the Dante Sonata and the powerful Suisse themes in the comparatively rarely heard Fantaisie romantique.

Sergio Gallo’s recording of Beethoven’s Piano Pieces and Fragments (Naxos 8574131) is included in the Beethoven Complete Edition, a 90-disc boxed set that was nominated for the International Classical Music Award. Fanfare wrote of this album that ‘Gallo is a master at voicing, and there are informative relationships to hear in every phrase if one can get used to dramatic subtlety. This is a worthy supplement to the collection of anyone keen on investigating Beethoven’s piano output’.
