Description:

Amlan's superb album! Rivalry between Liszt and Thalberg! Marc-André Amrand, the greatest super virtuoso pianist of our time. Here comes the long-awaited and fan-favorite album of his superb virtuosity! This is a collection of brilliant operatic transcriptions and fantasies by Franz Liszt (1811-1886) and Sigismond Thalberg (1812-1871), two leading composers and pianists of the early Romantic period, who were also rivals. Hexameron", known for the anecdote of their "piano duel", is a collection of variations on a theme by Bellini, which Liszt compiled including works by eminent virtuosos of the time such as Thalberg, Chopin, Ertz, Cherny, and Pyxis. The contemporary virtuoso Marc-André Amrand will express the rivalry of the time by alternating transcriptions of Liszt's and Thalberg's works. Tokyo M-Plus
