Description
Liszt's Czech student August Stradal (1860-1930) transcribed his thirteen Symphonic Poems for solo piano in versions which demand almost superhuman virtuosity. Stradal's transcriptions transform these revolutionary orchestral compositions into viable and effective piano works, faithfully preserving their masterly musical substance. This series will present not only Stradal's transcriptions of the Symphonic Poems but also a number of grandiose paraphrases, almost all in their first recordings.
