Opis albumu:
An original contribution to the Verdi and Wagner celebrations of 2013: the complete Verdi and Wagner transcriptions by Liszt! Incredible One is only one of dozens of adulatory salutations to be found in Liszts letters to Wagner, and Liszts devotion to Wagner and his music caused him to devote his purse and his art to Wagners cause. The Wagner transcriptions are the largest group of Liszts piano works on operatic themes. Most of them are straightforward transcriptions, but it is the very essence of Liszts homage that we see in the introductions and codas, where he is able to offer a most personal reflection. The transcriptions and then reminiscences of Verdis music are (by and large) much more free both with their originals and with his own reputation, dating as they do from a maturity when he no longer felt the need to gratify any expectations of virtuoso brilliance. This is certainly the case of the Danza sacra e Duetto finale from Aida, which Michele Campenella considers even more remarkable than the original. Its not easy to come by this music except either in vast intégrales or as part of more mixed recitals, which makes Campanellas collection all the more welcome. He is a player of vast experience in this music, whose recordings of the composer in time for his anniversary in 2011 were critically acclaimed, including the distinct rarity of a recital on Liszts own Bechstein (94148): Campanella generally opts for spacious tempos, giving the music room to speak, and excels in capturing its sequence of moods and sounds. BBC Music Magazine Other information: - Recordings made between 2000 and 2012. - Extensive liner notes and biography in English and Italian. - Features performances on an 1892 Steinway & Sons piano. - In a time when there was no recorded sound it was customary to promote the works of a composer by playing transcriptions for solo piano of well known works or excerpts. Super virtuoso Franz Liszt was a champion in this genre, his transcriptions are an art form in themselves, his complex and highly virtuosic piano writing enhanced rather than diminished the impact of the original work.Muzyka „The Complete Wagner and Verdi Transcriptions” - oprawa CD - Wytwórnia: Brilliant Classics.
