Product Description
CD Description
“The hottest Classical artist on the classical music planet”, as described by The New York Times, is back with his second recording for Sony Classical, which is devoted to his very own piano hero - Franz Liszt.
On this album, together with the Vienna Philharmonic and Valery Gergiev, Lang Lang plays Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 as well as a selection of some of the most commercial, famous, virtuosic and beautiful solo pieces by Franz Liszt such as La Campanella, Liebestraum and Hungarian Rhapsody Nr 6, Consolation etc.
His 200th anniversary being October 22, 2011, Franz Liszt is commonly regarded as the first pop star in music history. A touring piano virtuoso himself, Franz Liszt composed some of the most famous and virtuosic pieces ever written for the instrument.

I heard one track of this album on Classic FM - namely the "Campanella" and I was so impressed by Lang Lang's interpretation that I was determined to purchase it. When it arrived, I sat down straight away and listened right through. What a joy to hear the clarity of the recording. It is so obvious that the artist has a great empathy and understanding of Franz Liszt. Would that all my albums sounded this way. Even the bonus DVD is a pleasure to watch and hear. Can't wait to hear more of Lang Lang.

Superb
The bonus DVD is fascinating. Lang Lang is such a great pianist and to see these glimpses of him in lighter mode is so enjoyable. The actual CD of Liszt is of superb quality. Read more
