Liszt: Opera Fantasies - Complete (Double-CD)

Choice:

Many years of research and preparation preceded the recording of all of Franz Liszt's two-piano and piano duet opera fantasias. The album which consists of two CDs was published in 1998 by Hungaroton Classic and was awarded the International Liszt Record Grand Prix, given for the year's best Liszt recording. This issue was the opening of the cooperation between the Egri & Pertis Duo and Hungaroton Classic which remains active.

"This is a magnificent recording from absolutely every point of view. .... the Duo Egri and Pertis are in superb form, with playing ranging from the hushed and intimate, where you would think that only one person was playing, to sonorities that transform the two players into nothing short of a full symphony orchestra."

(Piano Journal - London, No.56 Vol.19)
