Liszt - Totentanz (Michelangeli, piano) →
I saw this performed last night by Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. My girlfriend and two other friends, none of whom is particularly into classical music, were completely excited by it. It’s no secret that this is a “show piece” - but it’s still so full of soul. Hell - why shouldn’t classical music be “fun” at times?
Anyone interested in hearing Thibaudet on disc should check out his recording of Liszt opera transcriptions (on Decca).
