In Reply to: RE: "so cray-cray, isn't it?" - Well, some would have us believe that it IS cray-cray to appreciate Liszt! [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on July 18, 2017 at 17:37:52
So little appreciation for the finer things.

And what of yourself? Are you piszt about Liszt?
I buy many recordings of composers who I admire, and also of composers who are problematic to me. So I have many Liszt records. I've tried to see the greatness in him, and at one time, thought that Cziffra might be the key to Liszt. In a way he was, but his playing was unalloyed bombast!
I've also sampled Liszt's excursions into high seriousness like "Années de Pèlerinage", but the emotion in these pieces usually strikes me as play-acting. I don't listen to him much any more. Occaisionally I go back to the well, but I generally only hear empty virtuosity.
