Liszt published 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies and we are presenting 3 three of them here as part of our Liszt MP3 Collection. The musical form which Liszt adopted for these Rhapsodies is one that had been preserved and promoted by the Gypsy musicians of his home land - Hungary and there are several strong Gypsy themes evident in the pieces we have selected. They were composed for the piano where Liszt demonstrated his extraordinary virtuosity and it may seem like sacrilege to some that we have had the audacity to use synthesizers to render them for these Franz Liszt MP3 recordings. For Rhapsody No 2 steel drums were contrasted with Mega Moog and augmented with a Flying Sine synthesizer and Vibraphone, for No 12 steel drums, Vibraphone and Flying Sine did the trick while for No 15 a Celtic harp partnered the steel drums to give some extraordinary effects in the low registers.

Other composers

Why not compare these remixes with some by Debussy, Faure, Gounod, Offenbach and Saint Saens - the impact of this approach on music of particular composers can be quite distinctive.
