Demonic technique and poetry, played with fingers of steel.
The pinnacle of romanticism. A sound sculpture where technique and spirit collide.
Franz Liszt's "Etudes Transcendentalis" is one of the most difficult pieces in piano music. Lazar Berman played all of them perfectly, establishing his reputation as one of the best Liszt players of the 20th century. Explosive power, steely precision, and romantic passion and lyricism. This is a masterpiece that is not just a "mastery of difficult pieces," but a drama of the soul.
