Rome 1839, Palazzo Poli: one of Liszts Roman concerts has gained significance in the history of music. A prominent audience of high ecclesiastical and secular dignitaries listened to Liszts performances. Strangely enough, it was at this concert that Liszt took the risk of introducing a new type of program, as he decided for the first time to dispense with the participation of other artists and to conduct the evening entirely on his own. This was the first solo piano recital or, as Liszt jokingly put it: The first of my boring musical monologues, which I now want to give everywhere in future. Le Concert cest moi! This album by Kateryna Titova presents live recordings as well as recordings made as part of an eponymous exhibition at the museum at Liszts birthplace Raiding, featuring, among others, the so-called Dante Sonata, Liebestrume Nos. 2 & 3, two Paganini tudes as well as the first Mephisto Waltz.
