Liszt: Wilde plays Liszt - Mephisto Waltz No.1, Liebesträume, Tre Sonetti di Petrarca, Funérailles

Fifty years after his victory in the International Liszt- Bartók Piano Competition, pianist and composer David Wilde – student of Solomon and of Nadia Boulanger – brings to the studio a lifetime’s experience with the music of Franz Liszt. The diabolically difficult Mephisto Waltz No 1 is dispatched in a reading which overflows with personality and conviction, while Funérailles, too, is compellingly reimagined by an artist who cleaves to an earlier generation’s ideals of recreating both the self and the music in every inspired performance.
