With this issue - No 42 in Leslie Howard's marathon traversal of Liszt's solo piano music - we join Liszt on his fourth 2-CD trip to the opera house to hear music familiar and unfamiliar by Mozart, Meyerbeer, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Auber, Raff and Wagner. Over half of the music (93 minutes of the total 152) has never been recorded before

"This new two-CD set is as fascinating as any and contains many recordings which are thought to be first, and which are probably the first performances at all for more than 100 years. A pair of discs to which I shall often return, marvelling at the brio that Leslie Howard unfailingly brings to this taxing music" Classic CD

"A major revelation of nineteenth-century ideas and techniques. There is musical nourishment here as well as entertainment" Gramophone Magazine
