Composed by Franz Liszt. Sacred vocal music. Geistliche Chormusik / Lustig. Sacred vocal music. Compact Disc. Carus Verlag #CV 83.465/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.8346500).

Franz Liszt was one of those composers who permanently altered the musical culture of the 19th century. However, his sacred vocal works are still overshadowed by his piano music. Pioneering elements - which Liszt always knew how to combine with a simple tonal language which was appropriate - are, however, to be found particularly in his smaller sacred works. Hans-Joachim Lustig and the chamber choir I Vocalisti present a selection of this music that is well worth listening to and, in so doing, give us comprehensive view of Liszt's choral oeuvre.

The catalogues list under the title 'Resignazione' a short work for organ consisting merely of 29 bars. The investigation of sources carried out by the editors in connection with the New Complete Edition of Liszt's Works revealed that this is, in fact a work for piano the final version of which was worked out later. Liszt never published this manuscript and this late masterpiece has remained unknown for scholars as well. The present edition publishes the work for the first time. The publication includes the first version of the work too.

Piano

SKU: ST.Y346

Composed by John Ireland and Roderick Williams. Piano & keyboard music. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #Y346. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.Y346).

ISBN 9790220225321.

Amon g the most famous of twentieth-century art songs, Sea Fever has been imaginatively recreated for solo piano by Roderick Williams, whose accomplishments as a master of English lieder are matched by a composer's ear for the latent potential of an existing work. In this case, the inspiration was the playing of the dedicatee, the notable British pianist Maria Marchant, and the suggestion of Bruce Phillips of the John Ireland Trust for a 'free arrangement' in the manner of Liszt. In fact, the new version remains true to the original while offering the performer a degree of poetical bravura by no means superfluous or transcendental. It could well be programmed with other piano music by John Ireland, or stand alone as a highly effective and instantly recognised encore.

A recording by Maria Marchant is now available from SOMM Recordings (SOMMCD 0174).
