Thalberg - Fantasy on Robert le Diable op.6

[zippi]

Hey,

does anyone has a recording of this piece ?

[thalbergmad]

Indeed I have as this was recorded by Michael Ponti on the old Vox label. Still available cheaply  under Naxos and is well worth the money.

Somehow i knew that you would answer :p   THX

I seem to recall that the Ponti recording is quite heavily cut. It is a very demanding fantasy.

Lesley Howard must have done it as part of his "everything" effort.

Thalberg.. not Liszt.

Ooops. Clearly my coffee hasn't worked this morning.

Hopefully, Howard will keep away from Thalberg.

I've heard a couple of his recordings. Hmm. Not without interest, but a bit impetuous/eccentric and sloppy, plus a tendency to curious tempo changes.

Hey ronde_des_sylphes ,
did you think about playing this fantasy ? I love your recordings

Briefly. Then I looked at the score..

For me, this composer is more 'thal' than 'berg'..
