About
Franz Liszt had an overwhelming impact on the musical life of his time through revolutionary innovations in harmony, form and pianistic technique. Both Liszt and his brilliant musical heir Ferruccio Busoni regarded their compositions as living entities, always suitable for recycling and reshaping to create new works. This programme is an illustration of this practice, with Goran Filipec freely extending and varying the cadenzas in the Hungarian Fantasy, while Busoni enhances the emotional states of horror, grotesque comedy and sublime serenity in the Totentanz.

Filipec is both a thoughtful musician and a fine player who largely steers clear of excess. He also brings a welcome sense of playfulness and fun to his project. Given the unbroken tradition of Liszt’s orchestral music in Hungary, Kollár and the Debrecen musicians are ideal companions for this repertoire...Filipec’s precise and imaginative realisation of the demanding solo part makes this Totentanz alone well worth hearing.
