Cédric Tiberghien shows masterful sensitivity in Liszt's later works

‘Tiberghien’s quasi-improvisatory approach works marvellously with works which would otherwise risk sounding directionless and self-indulgent. His range is breathtaking, carefully terraced even in the thickest of textures, never harsh, abrupt, metronomic or bombastic, even when rumbling in the murkiest depths of the piano’s range.’

 

Liszt

Années de pèlerinage, 3ème année; Bagatelle sans tonalité; Wiegenlied (Chant du berceau); Vierter Mephisto-Waltzer; La Lugubre Gondola II, etc
