Great Reference for a Great Tradition

"Sauer once gave a list of Liszt's worthy pupils. Many of them are here; but among them, Hofmann said only Sauer was "a real great virtuoso", and he went on to say, "Friedheim was so-so and Lammond didn't impress me..."etc.Sauer is impressing indeed and in terms of musicality and interpretaion, he compared favourably even with Hofmann. Equally interesting was Rosenthal. Unlike Sauer, he lost his power to thunder in his old age, but he made it up in all the nuances and colours whihc are quite well captured here. D'albert was probably the greatest of all Lizst pupils, something we don't want to miss, same for de Greef and indeed all others here.But the transfer here leaves much to be desired, even for those who are not new to (mono) archive records: surface noise is too heavy for general enjoyment. But it is definitely better than Busoni's recording for sure. We don't have much choice, do we?"
