Liszt Consolation D flat major No.3 () Valentina Lisitsa

Recorded in November 2012 at medieval church in Blumenstein, Switzerland . Learned in less than an hour at the same church :-) What you see and hear is basically my first performance, LOL! Piano is Boesendorfer Imperial owned by Free sheet music download is available, as always, at IMSLP library: This little piece is the best answer to all those “music critics“, self-proclaimed experts and other snobs who throughout the years and years belittled, ignored or attacked Liszt music as primitive kitsch designed to pander to primitive tastes of gullible public. What can be closer to perfection than these few pages sparsely “populated“ with few notes , easy enough for any amateur to tackle - yet profound and comforting to turn to in the moment of quiet happiness and contemplation - or in the moment of utter hopelessness and despair?
