Liszt regarded his compositions as living entities, never definitive, and susceptible to being modified or transformed completely. He held that the multiple versions of many of his own works, often for new mediums or ensembles, were a result of his tendency towards such an artistic ideal. The programme featured in this album can be seen as an illustration of these musical practices that powerfully illustrate the phenomenon of the arrangement.
Franz Liszt had an overwhelming impact on the musical life of his time through revolutionary innovations in harmony, form and pianistic technique. Both Liszt and his brilliant musical heir Ferruccio Busoni regarded their compositions as living entities, always suitable for recycling and reshaping to create new works. This programme is an illustration of this practice, with Goran Filipec freely extending and varying the cadenzas in the Hungarian Fantasy, while Busoni enhances the emotional states of horror, grotesque comedy and sublime serenity in the Totentanz.
