Liszt’s transcriptions and arrangements of Paganini’s Etudes occupy a towering position in the piano repertoire. A salute from Liszt to his great contemporary, these works make extraordinary technical demands. Liszt is clearly attempting here to become the Devil’s pianist, a counterpart to the Devil’s violinist, Niccolò Paganini, and this he clearly succeeds in doing. The 1851 version, held to be nearer to Liszt's intentions, is generally the more commonly performed edition today. This CD, however, offers an interesting, direct comparison with the earlier version from 1838, with its denser notation demanding transcendental technical skills.
