Description of Liszt for Two

Franz Liszt's most familiar works -- six of his Hungarian Rhapsodies -- are best known in their original solo piano versions and Liszt's orchestrations. Pianists Georgia & Louise Mangos, two "first-rate Lisztians" (Fanfare), perform Liszt's rarely heard duet versions (one piano, four-hands), possible the only CD ever of the duets. To those who sniff at piano transcriptions as "reductions," recording producer Jim Ginsburg points out that these Rhapsodies are actually "enlargements" of Liszt's original solo piano versions. To round out the program, the Mangos sisters chose Liszt's Mephisto Waltz for Two Pianos, rather than Liszt's four-hand arrangement. The Mangos sisters felt the duo-piano version provided "a more glorious score, a more explosive presentation of the musical idea," making it a better companion for the Rhapsodies.
