Programme Note
Having been fascinated for a long time by Liszt, this magician of the piano with his innate sense of drama, Jean Muller, presents his interpretation of the Liszt’s Transcendental Studies. Liszt’s repertoire is dear to Jean Muller who has already recorded twice the famous Sonata in B minor and a celebrated Liszt Recital CD; the Transcendence project is the culmination of 20 years’ work that began as a child with the dream of playing these masterpieces one day. Anxious to transcend the purely technical aspect of these studies, Jean Muller develops interpretations based on intensity and, in addition to the Ãtudes, presents Mephisto Waltz No. 1 in Vladimir Horowitz’s dazzling version.
