Krystian Zimerman, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Seiji Ozawa Franz Liszt: Konzerte Für Klavier Und Orchester, Totentanz (1988)

This well recorded disc from 1987 delivers truly exciting performances of all three works in typically crisp manner by Zimerman. Ozawa and the Boston orchestra give excellent support. The emphasis here is on excitement largely created by fast speeds delivered with clarity. The more gentler parts of all three works are played with due regard to sensitivity but there is no denying that in these recordings these works are seen as primarily as virtuoso display works and that is what we are given.
