4.0 out of 5 starsLiszt program music
By VonStupp on November 12, 2005
Format: Audio CD
On this disk are three separate orchestras under various conductors, all of famous symphonic works by Franz Liszt. The Faust Symphony from 1986, the symphonic poems from 1978 (analogue), and the Dante Symphony from 1982.

Liszt's Faust Symphony is really three character studies, from Goethe's drama of the same name, rather than a traditional symphony. The story is about Johann Faustus, a man who makes a pact with the devil in order to have all his desires satisfied, at the expense of his soul. Eventually Faust falls in love with Gretchen and their love saves his soul. The movements of the symphony portray the three characters mentioned: I. Faust, II. Gretchen, and III. Mephistopheles, with a coda adding organ, solo tenor, and men's chorus to the orchestra. The Faust movement could be a work in and of itself, totaling approximately 30 minutes, and encompassing a wide range of motives and emotions. One critic labeled the 5 motives as "passion, pride, longing, triumph, and love. The first theme is a craggy one with odd intervals (often called the first 12-note tone row) and the other themes are evocative of their titles. The music is an easy view of the influence of Liszt upon Richard Strauss; the imaginative thematic material and the dramatic program music and orchestrations are all very suggestive of what will become R. Strauss. The Gretchen movement shows Liszt as a master orchestrator and forward-looking composer. While the second movement is lyrical in nature, Liszt creates various chamber ensembles and keeps changing the instrumentation of those groupings. The best example is after the brief woodwind introduction, a solo viola and solo oboe have a duet with a sort of peasant dance feel, then in comes the solo clarinet, flute, and violin, and a new chamber ensemble take over.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsFine 'Faust', decent 'Dante', and two great bonuses
By Alexander Arsov on May 3, 2011
Format: Audio CD
One cannot but love DOUBLE DECCA. If there ever was a material equivalent of the immortal phrase 'Double action - satisfaction!', this is it.

To begin with the philosophical question, it is a really fine idea to fill a double CD with Liszt's two most ambitious symphonic works. May we hope that BOTH the 'Faust' and the 'Dante' symphonies receive one day their true recognition; though the latter has a rather longer way until that happen, it is hardly inferior to the much more highly regarded 'Faust'. Certainly both works - politely called symphonies; actually multipart symphonic poems - are among Liszt's masterpieces. I can think, unfortunately, of only one such coupling more. This is the double disc from Brilliant which is almost on the same level of DECCA's attempt; it includes Inbal's 'Faust' and Haenchen's 'Dante', coupled with the extremely rarely performed (and virtually never recorded) 'A la Chapelle Sixtine' as a bonus track (also under Haenchen's baton).

The 'Faust' Symphony included here was recorded in 1986 by Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra whose boss for many years he was. It is a legendary collaboration with quite a recording catalogue behind it, mostly for DECCA; both the legendary status and the recording legacy are probably second only to Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Such close collaboration between great musicians and great label is bound to produce memorable results. As it might be expected from DECCA, the digital sound is excellent, with impeccable clarity and dynamic range beyond reproach; but without that annoying flatness, or glassy artificiality, or call it what you like, that often affects digital recordings - or at least it used to do so in the early days of the digital era.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSolti, the Master
By jpbooklover on December 20, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Recently went to a 100 year anniversary concert of Sir Georg Solti's birth. I was reminded of how much I miss him. The CSO has had several fine conductors in my life, but Solti stands out. This is one of many great recordings that he made.

5.0 out of 5 starsMarvellous Recording

This was done during Solti's award-winning streak days. The celebrated Solti-CSO partnership at its best. The orchestra is thrilling in Liszt masterpiece. You haven't heard Faust Symphony if you haven't heard Solti.
