Liszt's solo piano transcription of Beethoven's symphonies belongs to the most challenging works of the piano repertoire. The 5th, 6th and 7th of Beethoven's 9 symphonies were completed by Liszt in 1837. Liszt subsequently performed the transcriptions throughout Europe before going on a 23-year hiatus on the project until he finished it in 1863. The full set was eventually published in 1865 and dedicated to Hans von Bülow, Liszt's son-in-law.
00:00 - Allegro con brio.
17:35 - Marcia funebre - Adagio assai.
35:43 - Scherzo - Allegro vivace.
42:01 - Finale: Allegro molto - Poco andante - Presto.
Piano: Cyprien Katsaris
