[soliloquy]

Would love sheets OR recording.  Only have midi =/

sent via AIM. im tracking down the recording.

I have a recording of this, will look it out. Is this not the piece that Raymond Lewenthal refused to record, saying he could not record music that he did not love?

[thalbergmad]

I have 4 recordings of this (2 on cd and 2 on vinyl), none of which are very satisfying.

The best is the CD by Mayer where he recreates the piano battle between Liszt and Thalberg.

The Leslie howard CD did not impress me and my old records (Ponti I think) are even worse.

This forgotten piece desperately needs a new recording by someone who can inject some much needed fury.

Yes, I have the Mayer recording also - my memory is that I found his playing a bit dry, but that his Niobe was preferable to his Thalberg, where I definitely prefer Francesco Nicolosi and Roberto Cappello's recordings. Always struck me as a curious decision to recreate the duel between Liszt and Thalberg, and then stick on a "serious" piece like Benediction de Dieu as a filler..

I agree old chap.

His Liszt is better than his Thalberg.

For anyone who is remotely interested in what we are rattling on about, here are the sheets.

I did try to do a cleaner scan myself, but Editio Musica books are too thick.

[thalbergmad]

I know you don't mean the Rhapsody, i think you mean this.
