This collection features paraphrases Liszt created based on themes and motifs from Verdi, Bellini, and Wagner. From the “Grand Fantasia” based on Auber’s *The Fiancée* (1829) to *Reminiscences of Boccanegra* (1882), Liszt “paraphrased” works by some 30 composers for solo piano, paying tribute to them. It can be described as an act of love—both for the composers and for audiences who loved opera, the most popular art form of the time. The collection comprises some 60 pieces. At its core are works by Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Mozart, and, in particular, Verdi (9 works) and Wagner (14 works). Here, Gasparyan has selected the very finest pieces from Liszt’s collection of paraphrases. The keyboard sparkles like a dazzling flash of light, his fingertips flit about like mischievous little fairies, and their afterimages are vividly etched into the listener’s heart. In addition to these magnificent works by Liszt, the album also includes the serene “Casta Diva” by Thalberg, a pianist who lived during the same era as Liszt (and Chopin) and was a master of equal stature. This piece further impresses upon the listener that Gasparyan possesses a rich, song-like voice. Though still in his thirties, his interpretive style is passionate and deeply romantic, masterfully blending dazzling virtuosity with poetic depth.\nNAIVE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53255626326305,"sku":"3700187690274","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/3700187690274.jpg?v=1786765420","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-th\/products\/3700187690274","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
