Liszt: Annees de Pelerinage / Deux Legends

In the early days of LP Kempff made a famous record of Liszt piano music for Decca. He plays much the same program here and he has lost none of his magic and sense of poetry in the intervening years. Few listeners will fail to respond to these evocative and masterly performances. The recording is excellent. Penguin Guide* I found this an incredibly gripping record, embodying a degree of playing and interpretation and a recorded sound that is beyond criticism. We are indeed fortunate that Kempff has made this record so late in life. It is not too soon to call it legendary. Records and Recording, November 1975 I haven't heard Liszt played like this before. I'd walk many miles to hear it played like this again. Gramophone, November 1975.
