Showcasing 14 pieces for solo piano, two for piano and orchestra, three for orchestra, and the triumphant final chorus from "A Faust Symphony," this 2-CD set gives the listener a remarkably honest overview of the work of Franz Liszt. Complete pieces are offered and can stand on their own; many will tempt the listener to explore further. For instance, Liszt's transcription of Schubert's "Die Forelle," handsomely played here by Valerie Tryon, can whet the appetite for his other transcriptions; similarly, Michael Halasz leads the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in a reading of "Les Préludes" that might make new listeners seek out the composer's other symphonic poems. The recordings cover Liszt's entire career, from the 1838 "La Campanella" to the 1881 "Valses Oubliées." If you love Liszt, want to get to know him better, or are just looking for a compendium, this set is a treasure. --Robert Levine

4 out of 5 stars An Unusually Low Price for This Mostly OK 2CD Compilation.......2006-11-10

Naxos has recycled this music not only from various of their Liszt CDs but also from an earlier 'Best of Liszt' compilation. But this time it is a 2CD set and the price is even lower than it was first time around.

As for the performances, some are very good and some are, uh, not. By and large the piano performances are excellent. Particular fine are Liszt's transcription of Schubert's 'Die Forelle' ('The Trout') played by Valerie Tryon, William Wolfram's performance of 'Un sospiro' ('A Sigh') and 'Gnomenreigen', and Jenö Jandó's 'Liebestraum No. 3' (that's the most familiar of the three). Jandó also gives us a fine 'Feux follets' and 'Au bord d'une source'. The two movements from the Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 (played by Joseph Banowetz) are excellent.

However, some of the orchestral recordings are poorly performed and recorded. I don't think I've ever heard as bad a performance of 'Les Préludes' (the offending orchestra is the Polish Radio Orchestra, the conductor Michael Halász, both of whom also appear in Liszt's admittedly lame orchestration of his popular Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and the 'Prometheus' tone poem).

Overall, I will give this a mild recommendation largely because for someone coming to Liszt's music for the first time, these piano performances are quite creditable and some of the orchestral performances are OK (like the accompaniments to the two concerto movements and for the choral finale of Liszt's Faust Symphony).

5 out of 5 stars The most fabulous one ever heard.......2004-10-24

As what the others said, Mr.Kong is a pianist whose playing is always entralling.That's always true for him.
Personally,I like him most,more than any other pianists nowadays.And I feel happy to own such a fabulous recording and his promising playing glamourizes those,as what a large multitude said, minor Tchaikovsky's works.After listening to his interpretation,I am sure you wil agree with me and find that he is not the kind of pianists who is always banging the piano,which is a common problem found in the playing of the pianists of his generation.
In this recording, you will be surprised by his meticulously thoughtful 'design' of each piece-fine pedalling,sincere,poetry as well as enthusiasm.
A rare talent indeed!!

      5 out of 5 stars Authentic.......2004-10-24

      The Chinese Pipa has a 2,000-year-old history. The modern pipa has four steel strings, tuned A D E A, and 26 frets. It's not unlike a banjo. A key difference, as liner notes explain, "The frets are very deeply cut, allowing for the player to bend notes by depressing the strings, as opposed to bending them sideways as in western guitar performance."

      I bought this album because I trust MA Recordings. I had never heard of Jiang Ting, and I've never seen a pipa. But every CD I've bought from Todd Garfinkle has proved extraordinary. He's a man with a passion for sound. He records every performance personally, usually in a church or concert hall. (This CD was recorded in a small church in the mountains outside Lucca, Italy.)

      Every MA project is recorded using custom-designed equipment. That's a measure of Garfinkle's devotion to sound. Existing equipment wasn't good enough, so he built his own. Think about that: He built his own microphones. This is a guy who's serious about his craft.

      This isn't a New Age recording. You can imagine some Los Angeles producer saying, "Let's take an exotic instrument and some ethnic scales, and we'll produce some pretty Asian music for PBS." That isn't the case here. Jiang Ting was born in Mongolia, and began learning pipa at age seven, from her mother. She graduated from Central State Conservatory in Beijing, and won first prize in a national pipa contest. Today she lives in Japan, where she performs with various orchestras throughout the country.

      Most of the pieces are Chinese works, including two ancient traditionals and a few modern Chinese compositions. There's also an improvisation, where "Jiang Ting holds her pipa and just plays what crosses her mind naturally." Sometimes soft and lulling, sometimes fierce and provocative -- the best word to describe this music is "authentic."

      This is real, genuine Chinese music. It isn't watered-down, and it hasn't been Americanized. It's a glimpse into another culture. And thanks to Jiang Ting's skill and Todd Garfinkle's expertise, this glimpse is clear and unobstructed. Listening to this CD, it's easy to close your eyes and imagine you're sitting in Beijing Concert Hall. It's worth a standing ovation.
