6 Hungarian Rhapsodies

Album by Franz Liszt & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Kurt Masur

Six Hungarian Rhapsodies is a set of piano pieces by Franz Liszt, published in 1853. The pieces draw on Hungarian folk and Romani musical idioms and feature virtuosic piano writing that alternates between lyrical passages and rhapsodic, rhythmically driven episodes, representing a clear example of Liszt's exploration of nationalistic and virtuoso showpiece repertoire in his middle period.
First released: June 1986
