Description:

This is a collection of orchestral works by Liszt, a composer who left an important mark on the development of thematic music as the founder of symphonic poetry. Included are the "Prelude," with the preface by the poet Lamartine, "Life as a series of preludes to death," three orchestral arrangements of the "Hungarian Rhapsody," based on a Hungarian folk dance, and the "Mephisto Waltz. Karajan's passion for bringing the best performances of his widely popular masterpieces to record is clearly demonstrated in this album. Universal Music
