Review

In the profound and intricately woven "Liszt Complete Piano Music, Vol. 6," released in 1997, Joseph Banowetz breathes life into the magnificent transcriptions of Franz Liszt. This collection, an opulent homage to the genius of Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Robert and Clara Schumann, reveals the transformative prowess with which Liszt reimagined his contemporaries' works. Banowetz, with his virtuoso precision and emotive depth, magnificently captures the spirit of these 30 songs, rendering Liszt's masterful interpretations with both technical brilliance and sublime sensitivity.

Spanning over an hour, the album is a serene odyssey through 19th-century Romanticism. With every note, Banowetz deftly guides us through the tempestuous passions and tender nuances that Liszt so eloquently transcribed. Each performance is akin to a brushstroke on a sprawling canvas, conjuring vivid images reminiscent of Turner’s awe-inspiring seascapes or the intricate layers of a Tolstoy novel. Banowetz’s rendition is not merely a recital but a vivid reawakening of Liszt's genius, a journey as captivating and profound as the original compositions themselves. - Kate
