Ravel, Liszt & Grieg. The Orchestra for Piano Four Hands | Dezsö Ránki and Edit Klukon · MarchVivo
The vast expressive range of music for four-hand piano—the focus of this series—is perfectly reflected in this program: from the narrative delicacy of Ravel’s Ma mère l’oye to Grieg’s nostalgic lyricism. But it was Liszt who reached the pinnacle of virtuosity with the piano arrangements of his symphonic poems, originally conceived for orchestra and transcribed by the composer himself.
