A fascinating compendium of first thoughts, alternative versions and lost works: the fruits of Leslie Howard’s assiduous fossickings in the Lisztian workshop, and all believed to be first recordings.
This is the fifth CD of ‘new discoveries’ (the third volume having contained two discs): these works were not available to be included in the Liszt boxed-set issued in 2011, and so this release constitutes a supplement to that edition.
