The Piano Concertos

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

The Piano Concertos are a set of piano concertos by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, composed and revised across the mid-19th century, primarily between 1830 and 1861. They combine virtuosic solo piano writing with symphonic orchestration and advanced harmonic language, reflecting Liszt's experiments with thematic transformation and the expansion of concerto form that influenced later Romantic piano and orchestral repertoire.
First released: 1984
