Franz Liszt embodies the type of master virtuoso like no other composer. He was celebrated as a pianist, even worshipped. His musical works at first were overshadowed by his artistic career.The world of music only gradually began to recognise him as an important composer, too. This set of 5 CDs contains his most famous creations such as the Hungarian Rhapsodies, the piano concertos, the Dante Symphony and many more.
