Liszt: Piano Concertos... - Yoav Levanon,luzerner Sinfonieorchester,michael Sanderling - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

“Liszt’s first piano concerto is a tour de force of virtuosity and drama, while the second offers a more nuanced, introspective exploration,” says Yoav Levanon. “Together, they capture Liszt’s artistic vision, combining technical brilliance with deep emotional resonance.”

Now 20 years old, Levanon has recorded both concertos with the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester and its chief conductor Michael Sanderling. There are further works by Liszt on the album: the spine-tingling Totentanz for piano and orchestra, and two pieces for solo piano, the soaring Romance ‘O pourquoi donc’ and a transcription of Schumann’s rapturous song ‘Frühlingsnacht’. A further transcription, by Yoav Levanon himself, completes the programme: a Lisztian take on Hugo Wolf’s song ‘Verschwiegene Liebe’.
