With characteristic panache, Dimitris Sgouros unveils the rarely heard Liszt Fantasia on Beethoven's "Ruins of Athens" for piano and orchestra (October 1991, Melbourne Symphony/Verbitsky, Melbourne Concert Hall)

Dimitris Sgouros is regarded as one of the foremost Lisztians of the present-day:-
"... he maintained his pianistic composure with an astonishing degree of control throughout a program that would have tested the mettle of a Horowitz or Serkin.... it is difficult to imagine anyone, Liszt included, capturing the wild diablerie - also the vulgarity - of the Mephisto Waltz with greater panache..." - The Chicago Tribune [review of Ravinia debut - read it here:- http://www.sgourosmp3.com/debut.html#RAVINIADEBUT ]
