Louis Kentner plays Liszt Scherzo and March S.177 (2/2)

Fascinating, that a pianist who could often be unexciting finds a piece that obviously captures his imagination, and pulls from him a first class performance. Just goes to show you... Thanks for this.

I didn't hear Kentner all that often but I must say that I never found him unexciting - and I still have a high regard for his recording of the Transcendental Studies. Although this piece certainly finds Kentner on good form, I don't thnk the same can be said for Liszt!

Really? This is pretty unexciting after listening to the Horowitz rendition.

[camaysar222]

Well, demosj, as the years go by, I tend to loosen my youthful restrictive bias and become more accepting of a wider range of artists. I appreciate craft and musical commitment more and more, and this performance has both. No one can win or lose against Horowitz, as he is unique.
