The present recording clearly stands out from the many
publications during the Liszt Year.
It offers little-known music for strings by Franz
Liszt that, in its string sound, gives special form to
the visionary dimension of the Liszt phenomenon.
Two central works of the CD are the great Duo
Sonata (1832–35) and the piano trio Carnival in Pest
(1847–50) as a special form of the early version of
Liszt’s later Ninth Hungarian Rhapsody for piano. An
outstanding chamber ensemble led by Ingolf Turban
and Wen-Sinn Yang is brought together for the recording.
