Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

Franz Liszt

Sviatoslav Richter / Kirill Kondrashin / London Symphony

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 c. 1960

Nos. 1 & 2. A 'slam dunk' and 'famous for good reason.' Very good sound. The playing is 'lights out'—absolutely powerful, dramatic, with wonderful imagination and artistry.

Apple Music

Martha Argerich / Claudio Abbado / London Symphony

Piano Concerto No. 1 1968

No. 1 only. Fantastic sound. Argerich mixes powerful virtuosity with a 'wonderful touch to the quieter moments'.

Apple Music — Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 only, on an album with Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

Simon Barere / David Brockman

Piano Concerto No. 1 Live recording, Carnegie Hall

No. 1 only. A historic, dim recording, but 'worth seeking out.' Barere was an 'amazing virtuoso, amazingly inventive artist' who 'knock[s] it out of the park'.
