Composer: Franz Liszt
Artist: Leonardo Pierdomenico (piano)
While Liszt’s version of 12 songs from Winterreise is the crowning glory of his Schubert transcriptions, there are surprisingly few recordings of the complete set. Only two are presently available (one on fortepiano), making this new recording by Leonardo Pierdomenico a notable event, and coupled uniquely with two versions of Liszt’s own music.
The young Italian pianist has already established himself as a Lisztian of renown and distinction through the Piano Classics album (PCL10151) including the Ballades, Legendes and Csardas macabre. The album won widespread critical admiration: ‘Would that half the seasoned Lisztians I know had Pierdomenico’s keen ear for stylistic differentiation within this half-century of repertory. His highly developed technique and cultivated sound, both adaptable to a variety of affects, are wedded to those twin essentials for artistic Liszt-playing: imagination combined with thoroughgoing, scrupulous musicality.’ (Gramophone, September 2018)
Leonardo Pierdomenico now brings these Lisztian virtues to the songs from Winterreise which Liszt selected and arranged according to his own ordering, beginning like the original with ‘Gute Nacht’ but ending with the grim tavern scene of ‘Im Dorfe’. Along the journey, Liszt exercises all his powers of pianistic invention not merely to incorporate the song line within the piano part but to enrich Schubert’s music with his own sympathetic interpretation. In Der Lindenbaum, Liszt he deploys all manner of flourishes to conjure up the tree’s rustling
leaves. In a surprising twist, he follows it with the cycle’s otherwordly song evoking Der Leiermann, the hurdy-gurdy man.
The recital’s still central point of reflection is supplied by Liszt’s transcription of Gretchen from his Faust Symphony: a loving but complex portrait of the object of Faust’s affections, a cantabile meditation magnificently sustained over almost 20 minutes. By contrast, Totentanz in its solo-piano version is a feat of pianistic imagination, based on the Dies Irae plainchant, to test the most technically assured performers.

Thanks for the well written program notes and, of course, for these Liszt transcriptions that I’ve never heard.
I love schubert ❤, its great to listen to when your driving😊
A lovely recording, sometimes ethereal , sometimes all too tangible, a beautiful experience. The cover picture is just right as well. Thank you so much for this beautiful post.
I love the serene feeling this music evokes like memories, but gently changes mood. The picture is a perfect representation of this remarkable piece. Thank you for this pleasurable experience! Ear candy!

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
There are actually three (not two) other recordings of the complete Liszt/Schubert mini-cycle on CD: Leslie Howard (in Vol. 32 of his complete survey), Els Biesemans (on fortepiano) and Antony Peebles: kzread.info/head/OLAK5uy_mnDI0xxMDT0dPeQ5THIftDxrmG-9oLlx0 Also worth hearing is the sensitively abridged (eight songs) version by Avan Yu, coupled with a similarly shortened Schwanengesang (Naxos). Thank you.
Erano necessarie?
I don't understand why nobody has done transcription for ALL the songs so there can be full cycle

The original publisher announced all 24, but in the event Liszt only did these 12 transcriptions.
The order of the songs is so weird

Certainly it seems so to many modern listeners, when the original song cycle is so insistently imprinted in our musical heritage. In Liszt's time, with Schubert only recently deceased and much of his music not at all well known, Liszt's thoughtful selection and careful re-ordering would not have been such a shock, but would have been accepted on its own terms. Also, it's worth remembering that Schubert issued his original songs in two successive sets of 12, drawn from different parts of the original cycle of poems; some people have suggested "integrating" the two halves by putting the songs in the poet's original order.
I don't like Liszt. Thank you BC for reminding me of that.
