The Petrarca Sonnets are known to all pianists from the Années de pèlerinage: Italie, - what is less known is that they started life as songs. Even allowing for Liszt's undoubted originality, these songs are so extraordinary that one doubts they have any precedent. In every aspect - the merging of lieder and operatic styles, virtuosic piano accompaniments, and a vocal range rising to a high C sharp! - Liszt's writing is at the margin of contemporary musical language. The remaining items on this CD include seldom-heard first settings of Victor Hugo and later popular songs including O lieb! and Es muss ein wunderbares sein.
