One Out Of 99's Not Bad ?

Liszt, The Early Beethoven Transcriptions.

Performer : Leslie Howard piano.

Leslie Howard achieved a monumental feat with his traversal of the entire output of Liszt for piano, amounting I think to 99 discs. This is volume 44, a three CD set comprising transcriptions of Beethoven's 5th, 6th and 7th symphonies and the funeral march from symphony no 3. There are other snippets such as Adelaide transcriptions and Berlioz's march to the scaffold.
