Anyone have this? Might be a nice alternative to the Liszt transcription.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

An alternative, but not one of his best.

So not too effective in performance by comparison?

It probably lacks a decent recording to do it justice.

The Dennis Hennig recording is uneventfully boring. It is longer than the Liszt and is not really a good performance piece.

I would not spend time on it myself, but then again i would stand no chance of playing it.
