Pourquoi écouter les 9 Symphonies de Beethoven au piano ? Tout d'abord pour l'exceptionnel travail scrupuleux et respectueux de Liszt qui dédia son travail à Ingres, en remerciement du beau portrait que le peintre avait réalisé du compositeur. Ensuite pour écouter la magie de la palette pianistique de Cyprien Katsaris qui réalisa ces enregistrements à la fin des années quatre-vingt pour TELDEC. Son imaginaire sonore est tel qu'il permet d'entendre ces oeuvres si connues d'une manière absolument nouvelle avec une foule de détails que l'on entend pas dans leur version orchestrale.
