Liszt Grand Solo de Concert/Grosses Konzertsolo

[in_love_with_liszt]

What is the difference between the Solo de Concert (S175a) and Grosses Konzertsolo (S176)? Has any pianist recorded either of these pieces on CD?

I have never heard of "Solo de Concert", but I have heard of Grosses Konzertsolo, Grand Concert Solo, Solo Concerto..

The only recording I have of it is Leslie Howard.

Howard tried to record everything Liszt. I do not know if he succeded, he recorded about 50 CDs in total if I remember corretly.

I want to hear more obscure Liszt too.

The grosses Konzertsolo isnt all that obscure- It is a lot like The B minor Sonata, like an earlier draft in a way.

I consider works like Ungarisch and Galop de Bal to be less known Liszt.

I believe he has completed recording the Liszt piano works, and it's on 95 CD's if I'm not mistaken.

For the most part, I dispise Leslie Howard's recordings because when he plays, it almost feels like he is just a machine that spits out all kinds of music without any deep interpretation or special phrase development.  I also find his touch too abraisive and aggresive, even in the most sensitive works.  Some of his better recordings are the Norma fantasy or the Fantasy and Fugue on the theme BACH.

The rest is barely better than a MIDI, and that exaggeration isnt all too extreme.
