[jaabbberrwokk]

Very nice piece, thanks for posting! It's such a discovery!

[tomekkobialka]

Damn, I was expecting some upbeat African tribe music...>:(

[jeef290]

Dear Howard, rests are there for a reason.



[MrFullyawesome]

Jesus that was awesome....

[liszt141]

That climax at 5:33 is absolutely astonishing!

[mkeysou812]

The worst part of this piece is when it ended, I want more!!

[madlovba2]

I usually don't like Howard, but that's an astonishing performance. Amazing piece.

[kasyapa]

i used to think leslie howard had a small sound. not so small!

[OriginalBasaliskos]

Who is the pianist?

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@OriginalBasaliskos howard

[OriginalBasaliskos]

Liszt has so many works that are unknown to many who play the piano that far outstrip his most popular works in term of musicality.

now I feel staying alive worths something

[GaryPansey]

@ron1245 That's right! VERY MUCH WORTH IT!

[d60944]

What a goregous load of fountains-and-birds-impression­ism there is in the first part of the second half!

[broadwood1830]

great performance, a great pianist, you feel the spirit of liszts divine playing but

the poetry of the piece remains a riddle to me, what did they feel about africa?

[kasyapa]

who was the pianist? :)

[Angel94angel94]

@kasyapa Leslie Howard, wich recorded all of  Liszt's works.

[Angel94angel94]

Might this be my favourite piano piece?
