Wilhelm Kempff - Wilhelm Kempff plays Liszt (2014)

‘almost anything played by this keyboard titan is worth hearing’ International Piano

‘poetry in almost every phrase’ Gramophone

‘I was so thrilled and excited by Kempff’s truly magnificent performances of these pieces and by the fine recording of the piano … that I was afraid to play the record again… But I did hear it and I shall not easily forget it.’ Gramophone (solo Liszt)
