Liszt - Paraphrase on Handel's Sarabande from Almira

Paraphrase on a Sarabande (and Chaconne) from Handel's Almira S. 181 (1879)
This work is listed in Humphrey Searle's authoritative catalogue as a piano transcription. But many Liszt scholars and analysts are unsure about labeling it a piano transcription. First of all, the Sarabande is actually a Chaconne, and the Chaconne (absent from this video) has no ground bass at all. Liszt does indeed faithfully transcribe the Sarabande from Handel's Almira, but only as a springboard for his own set of variations. Searle admittedly believes this work must be considered an original composition from Liszt's late period.

Alessio Bax plays this so much better

Wow this sounds so nice. Just wish it was slightly more varied in the dynamics and on certain parts.

@Dihelson that's hard to say..one man's taste is another man's avoidance

Leslie Howard is the only pianist in the world to transform all Liszt work into garbage. He only plays notes. We need kind of Volodos to play all Liszt work as it should be played.

Wow a piece so beautiful that even Leslie Howard can't make it sound boring.

It was rumored that Liszt could play so softly hardly anyone could hear him. If Liszt originally had such a dynamical range, and assuming pianists play what is written (with tolerance to their interpretation of the piece), why is it I hardly hear any difference between Leslie Howard's piano and forte?
Irrespective, this truly is a beautiful and mesmerizing piece.
