This review is from: Liszt: The Piano Concertos: Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Flat and Piano Concerto No. 2 in A (Audio CD)

This is simply the best rendition of these two concertos you will ever hear. The recorded sound on this Phillips CD is simply amazing. You can hear the reverberations of the piano strings on some cords, something that I have rarely if ever heard on ANY concerto.
