Hungarian Rhapsodies

Album by Franz Liszt & Philharmonia Hungarica & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Willi Boskovsky

Hungarian Rhapsodies is a set of 19 piano compositions by Franz Liszt, composed between 1846 and 1853. The pieces draw on Hungarian folk melodies and contemporary 'gypsy' performance practices, featuring virtuosic piano writing, dramatic contrasts and orchestral colour that reflect a nationalist‑inflected phase of Liszt's Romantic output.
First released: 1992
