  • Description

    Pianist pianist Julia Hermanski presents in an exciting debut for MDG with this recording on SACD of Liszt's Piano Works.

    Featuring the Tannhauser-Ouverture, O du mein holder Abendstern and Consolations – Six pensees poetiques and Ballade No. 2, she is able to show Liszt's transformation as a composer. From disappointed love and pious wishes, abysmal grief and redeeming hope - all are present in this cycle.

    Liszt was also great at inventing his own stories, such as the Ballad in B minor, which retells the ancient legend of Hero and Leander. The story of the two royal children, separated by the deep waters of the Hellespont, is dramatically condensed until the tragic finale - a roaring feast of sound for
    Julia Hermanski, who is able to elicit grandiose sound effects from the Steinway concert grand "Manfred Burki" from 1901.
