This CD features music by composer Franz Liszt from the play "Tom & Jerry in the Garden of Earthly Delights." For this performance, pianist Martin Oei commissioned animations and videos to illustrate the life of Franz Liszt. Martin's goal is to introduce a younger audience to classical piano music and the remarkable role Liszt played in the 19th century.
The CD includes original works, the monumental "Sonata in B" (a very typical Liszt piece in which the musical themes characterize the figures of Mephisto, Gretchen and Faust), the eighth Transcendental Etude "Wild Hunt," Liebestraum, the Dante Sonata and several arrangements. With the arrangements Liszt contributed to the fame of other composers.
An original Erard grand piano from 1846 was used for the recording of this CD. Erard was the leading manufacturer of grand pianos in the 19th century and Liszt's favorite instrument.
