[Vid] Saint-Saëns-Liszt Danse Macabre S. 555 from my all-Liszt album

I find this transcription to be far superior to the later 1942 Horowitz revision….

 

My 2021 album "Michael Kaykov plays Liszt: Two Episodes from Lenau's Faust and Other Piano Works" is now available on CD, streaming and download:

Listened to this one today, it's also totally fabulous! Pretty surprising to hear Saint-Saens write something macabre and dark.

Indeed. Liszt actually expanded that Saint-Saëns original considerably.... have you heard the original version for orchestra?

this was the album which started me on my all-Liszt recording journey.... 3rd volume coming out on Odradek records soon!
