Info zu Liszt: Symphonic Poems, Vol. 3

This recording is Vol. 3 in Noseda's survey of Liszt's Symphonic Poems, covering Mazeppa, Heroïde funèbre, Prometheus and Festklänge. In The Times Geoff Brown writes, 'the Italian temperament of Gianandrea Noseda is ideal for Liszt' Certainly the clarity and energy that Noseda brings to this music coupled with the wonderful transparency of colours created by the BBC Philharmonic make this a winning series. Indeed, both previous volumes have been very well received, the second being named 'Disc of the Month' by BBC Music Magazine. Volume 4 will be recorded in early 2008 and plans are in hand to record the Dante Symphony too.

"Mazeppa is the most familiar of these works, and Noseda gives it a rousing performance – it’s that sort of piece with a lot of overblown bombast and driving rhythms. The recording is what we’ve come to expect from this orchestra and label, with good separation, and a real sense of space." (BBC Music Magazine)

"No one could ever accuse Liszt of a lack or largesse. And listening to Vol 3 in Chandos’s recordings of the symphonic poems you are made more aware that ever of his role as an over-reacher, a towering figure who sought to loosen all formal constraints and allow the river of Romanticism to rush by in full spate… it says much for the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda that they once more temper drama with discretion. They achieve a special sense of exultance rather than bombast in Festklänge… and they are no less successful in the vast spans of the Héroïde funèbre… Fluent and eloquent as ever, Noseda and his orchestra have once more been superbly recorded." (Gramophone)

"The highlight here is Mazeppa...Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra give it plenty of life and vividly re-create the evocation of the horse galloping across the countryside with the eponymous hero strapped to its back." (Penguin Guide)

In August 2014 Gianandrea Noseda brought the Teatro Regio Torino to the Edinburgh Festival for its United Kingdom debut.
