Liszt ’s late works (1880-1886) / Adrienne Krausz

發跡於匈牙利而後赴法國接受蕾菲布指導的女鋼琴家Adrienne Krausz繼上一張高大宜鋼琴曲專輯(BMC-143)獲得唱片大獎後,這次選擇彈奏李斯特晚年的作品.Krausz對這些作品做了詳細的研究,並親自撰寫解說書.極具收藏價值的一份錄音.

The works of the latest creative period of Ferenc Liszt (1811-1886) were utterly misunderstood by his contemporaries, and even Richard Wagner declared them to be the product of a decrepit senile mind. The majority of them appeared in print long after the composer’s death. Only starting in the second half of the twentieth century, thanks to a few excellent British and Hungarian musicologists (mainly Humphrey Searle and Bence Szabolcsi), have they come to the focus of attention. These scholars have shown that these last compositions, pared down to the essentials as they are, have discarded all former Romantic impulse, rhetoric and glitter trappings and sensation-seeking externalities, to represent a new method of harmony and composition, a new way of thinking about music, and offer a multitude of possibilities for moving forward to the coming generation of composers. They are, in actual fact, the peak of Liszt’s creative work. Although some Liszt researchers question this fact, since Horowitz, Richter and Pollini, an increasing number of performers have programmed these ‘unflashy’ (and therefore all the more important) late Liszt pieces.
