Franz Liszt's transcriptions of other composers' music are as highly regarded as his original piano works. First acquainted with Bach through his piano studies Liszt further explored the earlier composer's works in his career as a virtuoso performer. His piano interpretations of Bach's Organ Music are executed in a simple and straightforward manner and they rapidly became the classic models for all future works in this genre. This compilation features Six Organ Preludes and Fugues (BWV 543-548) and the Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor (BWV 542).

Bach's mastery of rhythm and harmony inventiveness and genius for composition produced some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time. Those qualities are strikingly evident in his early concerti which are among the most recorded and performed works in the Baroque repertoire. This volume reprints complete and unabridged seven complete concerti for solo keyboard and orchestra from the renowned Bach-Gesellschaft edition still considered the primary source for Bach's music.

Taking its title from the well-known and much-loved orchestral work Danse Macabre this collection is one that pianists and all students of music will cherish.

A phenomenal Piano virtuoso and noteworthy member of 19th century Parisian society Charles Valentin-Alkan was among Liszt's contemporaries and one of Chopin's close friends. Unlike his legendary companions Alkan gradually slipped into obscurity in his own day because of his eccentric ways.Twenty years later - epitomising the near-theatrical lives of the great Romantics - the composer emerged to present his mature works to an astonished public including some of the most extraordinary most challenging compositions ever written.This collection includes three monumental works from Alkan's 'Twelve Studies In All Minor Keys'Op. 39. as well as three smaller works which complete the edition. Pianists of advanced skills - and student's of music's great revolutionary masters - will welcome this new treasury of hard to find pieces selected and with commentary by Marc-Andre Hamelin the Piano virtuoso who has performed Alkan's music worldwide and recorded the composer's major works.

Despite having already assumed the costs for a monument to Beethoven in Bonn Liszt's spiritual affinity for Beethoven also moved this greatest piano virtuoso of the nineteenth century to pay an even finer tribute: a superlative set of piano transcriptions of the master's nine symphonies. Liszt's brilliant and sensitive transcriptions enabled 19th century audiences and amateur pianists to become acquainted with Beethoven's works even when no orchestras were available. Indeed the great pianist's capacity for translating orchestral effects into pianistic terms was nothing short of astonishing. This volume contains the first five of the nine works reproduced from the originalplates authorised by Liszt himself. A memorable tribute from one musical genius to another these compositions will delight pianists and music lovers alike.
