About this album
A thrilling Liszt showcase, this programme brings together symphonic poem, concert fantasy and two Hungarian rhapsodies in a performance shaped by Shura Cherkassky, Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Recorded in 1962, it highlights Liszt’s gift for colour, keyboard spectacle and orchestral drama, with Mazeppa’s narrative sweep set alongside the brilliant Hungarian Fantasy and the popular Rhapsodies No. 4 and No. 5. Karajan’s orchestral control and Cherkassky’s command of rapid passagework make the set both virtuosic and grandly theatrical, showing why Liszt remained central to the Romantic concert repertoire.
