Released on January 1, 1992, under the prestigious Warner Classics label, this album is a testament to Liszt's genius and his enduring influence on classical music.
The centerpiece of the album is Liszt's monumental Piano Sonata in B Minor, S. 178, a work that showcases his virtuosic technique and deep emotional depth. The sonata is divided into six movements, each offering a unique exploration of musical expression, from the intense and dramatic first movement to the reflective and introspective final movement.
In addition to the sonata, the album features a selection of pieces from Liszt's "Années de pèlerinage" (Years of Pilgrimage), specifically the second year, Italy. These works are inspired by the poet Dante and the sonnets of Petrarch, and they transport the listener to the romantic landscapes and literary heritage of Italy. "Après une lecture du Dante" is a fantastical sonata that captures the essence of Dante's divine comedy, while the three Petrarch sonnets are intimate and lyrical, showcasing Liszt's ability to translate poetry into music.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes, this album is a comprehensive journey through Liszt's piano repertoire, offering both technical brilliance and emotional resonance.
