March 2014
If you had never heard Liszt's original, you would think this was it, for Ad nos seems tailor-made for Dupre's resourceful orchestration...There is one moment - I shan't spoil it for you - which will make you jump out of your skin...A super disc.
7th January 2014
This programme introduces work done on the music of Liszt by other composers, and is the tip of a rather substantial iceberg when it comes to the influential effect Liszt has had on music...All in all this is a disc to intrigue and invite further exploration rather than one which will blow your socks off into a new dimension.
