Marin - Franz Liszt: Complete Symphonic Poems, transcribed for Solo Piano by August Stradal, Vol. 4

Although Liszt�s thirteen symphonic poems exist in two-piano transcriptions prepared by the composer himself, it was his Czech student August Stradal (1860�1930) who transcribed twelve of them for solo piano � versions which demand almost superhuman virtuosity. Stradal died before he could tackle the last of the symphonic poems, Von der Wiege bis zum Grabe; Risto-Matti Marin has made good that lacuna with his own virtuoso transcription, and adds six of Stradal�s transcriptions of Liszt songs for good measure.
