The most popular orchestral work of all time, magnificently transcribed
for two pianos by Franz Liszt, can be heard once again in the
Contiguglias’ new recording for Gemini CD Classics.
"I enjoy
transcriptions as much or more than most, and this is a great one, of
the greatest piece, with a masterly performance, excellent recorded
sound, and perceptive notes."
