GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the world's largest recording series by a solo artist
'Leslie Howard's Herculean Liszt cycle ... [His] performances ... are exemplary, with all the commitment you would expect from a Lisztian of such tireless industry' (Gramophone) 'So we learn more about this extraordinary composer, thanks to that rare combination of Howard's scholarly musicianship ... and fearless keyboard technique, allied to the ongoing commitment of Hyperion Records - without which the entire musical world would be so much the poorer' (International Record Review) 'Howard is, by general consensus, the finest living exponent of Liszt, and his traversals afford all-enveloping verve and charisma, tremendous daring and a formidable intellectual grasp of the music ... his vastly superior performances will continue to carry the day' (BBC Music Magazine) 'The most adventurous, most consistently realised, and grandest project in recording history' (Fanfare, USA)
