Liszt. Piano Sonata In B Minor. Lewis

Paul Lewis (piano)

Liszt: Piano Sonata in B Minor, Four Little Piano Pieces, La lugubre gondola, Trübe Wolken, Richard Wagner - Venezia, Unstern! Sinistre, disastro, Schlafos! Frage und Antwort, En rêve

This CD featuring Paul Lewis presents the two faces of Franz Liszt. The Sonata in B minor shows us a forty-year-old virtuoso, overflowing with enthusiasm – an exuberance much more evident in the work's form than in its character. Thirty years later, it is an entirely different man who opens his heart in La lugubre gondola, Unstern and Schlaflos. In the interim, the old man has lost his lovers and friends, and confesses to an irreparable ‘bitterness of heart.'
