This solo recital of Cecile Licad was held at the Tedd Mann Hall in Minneapolis, MN, USA on May 23, 2003.
Her program consisted of:
1. Chopin - Scherzo no. 1 in B minor, Op. 20
2. Buencamino - "Larawan" (The Portrait")
3. Liszt - Two Legends
4. Chopin - 24 Preludes, Op 28
5. Two Encores:
Rachmaninov Prelude no.6 in E flat, Op. 23, and
Gottschalk - Manchega.
a very beautiful and elevated performance! in the spirit of Friedheim and the great interpreters of Liszt imo.

Love this piece. Reminds me a lot of the Mephisto waltz no.3. This is Liszt the prophet of the 1870's and 1880's. 50 years ahead of his time, predicting impressionism and atonality before the words were even invented. Supreme Genius!

I have a recording of this piece (as well as that of the other legend, "St. Francis Treading the Waves") by another excellent (Russian) pianist, Lilya Zilberstein, who incidentally is a bout the same age as CL. I would say LZ's rendition, although technically sound, is weaker, "too careful", and not nearly as musically eloquent as CL's.
