专辑简介

Volume 49 features a wide-ranging selection of dance pieces. The Valses oubliees reveal a compound of wistful nostalgia and advanced harmonies while the remarkable Csardas macabre, a characteristic Hungarian folk-dance, is full of innovative features. The effervescent Mazurka brillante is a very rare example of Liszt making original use of this Polish form, whilst simultaneously transforming it. The Grand Galop cromatique, heard here in two versions, is a bravura encore piece that the young Liszt often played in his virtuoso recitals.
