12 Etudes d’exécution transcendante, Op.11
Here is buried treasure indeed: Louis Kentner's legendary and pioneering 1949 recording of Lyapunov's 12 Etudes d'execution transcendante... This disc reminds us not only of Lyapunov's ardent and luxurious tribute to Liszt - Liszt seen through a rich and virtuoso Russian perspective - but of Kentner's magnanimity, his free-wheeling, generous-hearted style, sumptuous tone and aplomb.
