Wagner-Transkriptionen

Album by Franz Liszt & Daniel Barenboim

Wagner-Transkriptionen is a set of piano transcriptions of Richard Wagner's operatic music by Franz Liszt, completed and published in the 1870s. They adapt Wagner's orchestral and vocal textures for solo piano, illustrating Liszt's virtuosic pianistic techniques and the 19th-century practice of translating large-scale operatic works into the piano repertoire.
