Meisterwerke

~ Release by Franz Liszt (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

This release is kind of nuts.

Liszt wrote 19 Hungarian rhapsodies for piano, numbered 1 to 19. He arranged 6 of these for piano and orchestra, but it wasn't the first 6 only - the numbers between the piano arrangement and orchestral arrangement do not correspond. Here's the details from the CD booklet:

* Track number 1 is the orchestra version of piano piece no. 14.
* Track 2, arranged by Gabor Darvas, is no. 4 in the original orchestra cycle and is based on piano no. 2.
* Track 3 is the piano piece no. 6.
* Track 4 (originally no. 2) is based on piano no. 12 (NB. this slightly ambiguous phrasing is how the booklet describes it.)
* Track 5 titled 'Héroide-élégiaque' is identical in both versions.
* Track 6, 'Carnival in Pest', is based on the piano version no. 9.

Now, that's what the liner notes say - note the confusion around the tracks 2 and 4. Compare this to the list at Wikipedia's details and it seems that this confusion disappears - Wikipedia's list of piano → orchestra mappings lines up with that described above.

I note this information and leave it to someone more familiar with Liszt's works to unravel.

Disc 1: 49 451 / 4006408494515
Disc 2: 49 452 / 4006408494522
Disc 3: 49 453 / 4006408494539
Disc 4: 49 454 / 4006408494546
Disc 5: 49 455 / 4006408494553
