Details

The album opens with Liszt's transcriptions of two passionate and romantic works: Schumann's Widmung from the song cycle Myrthen and Isoldes Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, followed by the charming and magical Spinnerlied from Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollnder. Several transcriptions of Schubert's lied are featured here: the sombre Der Doppelgnger from Schwanengesang and Der Mller und der Bach (the inspiration for the album) from Die Schne Mllerin; the soothing Frhlingsglaube and the delightful and imaginative Stndchen von Shakespeare (Horch, hoch! Die Lerch!); finally, a piece (No. 6) from Liszt's own Soires de Vienne cycle - arrangements of Schubert's tremendous 12 Valses Nobles, D. 969.The album has a "coda": the Valse from Gounod's opera Faust, the subject of several works by Liszt. This famous virtuoso piano transcription is full of drama and excitement, with "diabolic" sections but also gentle and lyrical, at times even transcendent.Indre Petrauskaite says, "It is delightful to take the example from Liszt himself and continue to 'practise' the love for the original music while 'revisiting' these famous transcriptions.'
