Beethoven (1770-1827) - (Liszt)sym, 5, 7, : Frederic Chiu(P) - Import CD

Jonas Kaufmann & Ludovic Tézie

Description:

Frederic Chiu plays the Beethoven-Liszt symphonies with pride! The complete Beethoven symphonies, one of the masterpieces of Liszt's transcription works. This disc includes No. 5 and No. 7 from the Beethoven-Liszt Symphony Collection. Frederic Chiu, a pianist born in New York in 1964, made headlines in the media at the 1993 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition when he failed to advance to the final round. Chiu does not unnecessarily waver in tempo, but rather confronts this masterpiece head-on with an imposing approach, as if an orchestra were playing it. Tokyo M-Plus
