Les préludes

Franz Liszt

Recordings

Top Choice

Herbert von Karajan / Berlin Philharmonic

1967

Recommended to hear it done powerfully, dramatically, and beautifully. Brilliant playing from the Berlin Philharmonic, and Karajan's dramatic pacing is perfect.

Also Worth Hearing

Raphael Kubelik / Berlin Radio Symphony

late 1950s

A little more grounded than Karajan, not as overtly dramatic, but very beautifully played. One of the strongest Les préludes.
