The present discography focuses on the recordings of Liszt’s works played by Italian performers between 1997-2003.
This selection comes from the need to investigate both the attention reserved to Liszt’s works by Italian musicians and the influence of the renaissance movement of Liszt as composer, promoted by musicologists in the last years. A first glimpse underlines the egemonic rule of piano works in the recordings but at the same time the rising of interest for unknown works as the transcriptions for 4 hands of sacred music and compositions for violin and piano.
The works are listed on the basis of numbers of Searle’s catalogue revised and expanded by Leslie Howard and Michael Short. The Searle’s catalogue is nowadays a reference for musicologists and performers.
