LISZT: COMPLETE PIANO MUSIC, Vol. 69
Released on June 12, 2026 on Naxos.
The Naxos series of Liszt's complete piano music has reached Vols 69 and 70. Vol 69, played by Michael Kaykov, is described as "Choral Transcriptions”, though it's a little more complicated than that. There are many rarities ranging from the grandeur of the Marche héroïque (S510) and the vastly entertaining Humoresque on Gaudeamus igitur (S509, 1869-70), to the tender poetry of the Trois Chansons (S510a, 1852). Fragments and short works include a fanfare for the dedication of a monument to Grand Duke Karl August of Weimar in 1875. Perhaps only of specialist interest, but Kaykov plays these rarities well (Naxos 8 574714).
