This piece is sometimes considered Liszt's most difficult work for the piano - excepting perhaps only his hour-long symphony transcriptions. And with good reason - it abounds in stunt-work that is Herculean even for a Liszt arrangement. This master-work is rarely recorded, though Mikhail Pletnev once performed segments of it in concert. Fortunately, an excellent recording by Alberto Cobo thrives, and this performance undoubtedly soars past the piece's brutal technical demands and into the heart of its Spanish character. >>
