Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

Album by Franz Liszt & Sviatoslav Richter & London Symphony Orchestra & Kirill Kondrashin

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are a pair of piano concertos by Franz Liszt, completed in 1855 and 1861 respectively. They exemplify Liszt's Romantic virtuosity and a move towards a more symphonic approach to concerto writing, characterised by expansive piano writing, rich orchestral colour and the use of cyclic thematic transformation that influenced later Romantic concerto composition.
