 | Liszt: The Two Piano Concertos; The Piano Sonata
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.58 An AWESOME performance, and a superb recording! Even if you have other recordings of the concertos or the B Minor Sonata, Richter's rapid-fire performance is still worth hearing frequently.
|
 | Van Cliburn: My Favorite Liszt
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $6.99 Maybe THIS is the finest Sonata in B Minor?! Cliburn is AWESOME! Beautiful "Un Sospiro" here.
|
 | Liszt: Complete Organ Works
This is a MUST for Liszt lovers!! Excellent overview of the compostions for Liszt's OTHER instrument, the sacred organ. Bleicher is great on these.
|
 | Liszt: Organ Works
Buy new: $83.98 / Used from: $59.36 Yet another overview of Liszt's organ oeuvre, and a bit different--Turns out neither of these is "complete", but they're good to have. This has a very clean, crisp sound to it.
|
 | Liszt: Organ Works
Nicholas Kynaston did a marvelous job with this posthumus transcription for organ of "Funerailles"! Liszt would have loved it, I'm sure! The other stuff's good, too.
|
 | Liszt at the Opera II
Buy new: $45.98 / Used from: $24.99 Features the piano version (4-hands only, though) of the organ work "Ad nos, ad salutarem undam". Monumental piece, to say the least!!
|
 | Liszt: The Complete Etudes
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $45.71 Claudio Arrau's well-regarded performance of the Transcendental Etudes (I think Bolet's performance is better, but I like this as well).
|
 | Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsodies
Buy new: $45.98 / Used from: $14.94 Leslie Howard! I wish I could list all of his recordings here, but I haven't even heard them all yet! This is a superb recording of the piano rhapsodies, and a complete one too (All 19 of them here).
|
 | Liszt & Enesco Rhapsodies No. 1
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.94 A great CD of the 6 orchestrated rhapsodies. Great sound! Dorati and Mercury Liv. Pres.--A great combo nontheless.
|
 | Liszt: Music For Piano And Orchestra 1 / Howard (The Complete Music For Solo Piano) by Karl Anton Rickenbacher
Buy new: $45.98 / Used from: $14.95 Part one of an incredible task undertaken by Leslie Howard and the other parties involved in tracking down the long-lost concertante pieces by Liszt that have not seen daylight for quite some time.
|
 | Liszt: Music For Piano And Orchestra 2 / Howard (The Complete Music For Solo Piano) by Karl Anton Rickenbacher
Buy new: $45.98 / Used from: $28.95 Features the original draft of the Totentanz (which I prefer over the final one), and the "Concerto in Hungarian Style" that involves orchestration by Tchaikovsky, of all people.
|
 | Liszt:Dante Symphony
Buy used from: $3.54 The symphony's finale features only the Magnificat (without the livelier coda) on this recording. Barenboim plays a great Dante Sonata on piano here too.
|
 | Liszt: Complete Paganini Etudes
Buy new: $21.98 / Used from: $12.99 Great recording of the 6 final etudes and the original set as well as a couple of intermediate versions and the intermediate "Mazeppa".
|
 | Liszt: Complete Tone Poems Volume One
Buy used from: $4.26 Great recordings, which is good since some of these pieces are rarely played now! Essential for scoping out the themes Liszt would use again.
|
 | Franz Liszt: Complete Tone Poems, Vol. 2
Buy used from: $3.99 Volume 2 of the tone poems. The awesome "Hunnenschlact" is, I'm convinced, the blueprint for Saint-Saens "Organ Symphony". Good "Mephisto Waltz" on here, too.

Listmania!
