"Wayward, expansive, luridly colourful, [Liszt] still needs his advocates. Leslie Howard is one of his most devoted: long-serving, skilful, eloquent in his interpretations of the vast piano output." The Observer

"The collection opens with a real find in the three-movement, 20-minute-long Romancero espagnol...The music is quite extrovert, dramatic and harmonically adventurous...Clearly tackling Liszt anew in the studio has revitalised Howard's pianism." Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice - March 2011

"Wayward, expansive, luridly colourful, [Liszt] still needs his advocates. Leslie Howard is one of his most devoted: long-serving, skilful, eloquent in his interpretations of the vast piano output." The Observer, 16th January 2011

"These CDs...amount to something more than the latest necessary purchase for completists: indeed this latest batch of previously unknown or long-forgotten items assembles into a pleasingly comprehensive musical portrait...As ever, [Howard] allows the composer's spontaneous, improvisatory streak to speak as naturally as it likes, and needs to." BBC Music Magazine, February 2011 ****

"All of this intriguing new material is presented with the discernment and sympathy which have become the hallmark of Howard's Liszt series." International Record Review, January 2011
