Liszt - Piano Concerto N. 2 - Complete

The second piano concerto by Franz Liszt - one of the most beautiful and stunning concertos of all time, full of emotion, virtuosity and passion. Franz Liszt wrote drafts for his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 in A major, during his virtuoso period, in 1839 to 1840. He then put away the manuscript for a decade. When he returned to the concerto, he revised and scrutinized it repeatedly. The fourth and final period of revision ended in 1861. Liszt dedicated the work to his student Hans von Bronsart, who gave the first performance, with Liszt conducting, in Weimar on January 7, 1857.
