Les Cloches de Geneve - Recordings?
on: November 23, 2005, 04:44:14 PM
Looks like I finally found a Liszt piece I don't have on CD.  Anyone happen to have a good recording of this charming little work or know where one might be available?

Jorge Bolet has a pretty good recording of it.  I was lucky and burned a copy of it from my local library :)  of course, there's always leslie howard, but who likes leslie howard?? (cue tumbleweed)

Brendel (Philips) and Leslie Howard (Hyperion) are the best IMO
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Check out  Alfred Brendel (Phillips)
                  Lazar Berman (he recorded complete cycle-one of the best recording of it!)

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

He recorded the complete set, there's a 4disc set of the hungarian rhapsodies and the years of pilgrimage.
