LPs batch 24: Liszt

Quite a lot of piano and chamber music remain to be done, and I tackled some of it in this batch. Beginning with two discs of quartets from Eastern Europe: a Supraphon of the Smetana Quartet playing Janáček’s and the Novak Quartet playing Bartók’s 5th and 6th. I finished our Schubert piano music with Stephen Bishop Kovacevich playing D960 and Claudio Arrau playing D959. More piano music: Martha Argerich playing Kinderszenen and Kriesleriana. I stayed with Schumann for Evelyn Lear and Roger Vignoles performing Op. 39 and Frauenliebe und -leben. Finally a chunk of Liszt: Jorge Bolet playing the B minor sonata and other pieces, and Daniel Barenboim with the Années de pèlerinage Switzerland.
