Title: Review of Liszt: The Artist As Romantic Hero by Eleanor Perenyi
Product review: This book is simply superb! As a reader of books for over 60 years, I can't think of one better written with its lively style, brilliant insight, and impeccable wit. Eleanor Perenyi more than does justice to Liszt the man, she makes him come alive in all his many-sided, musical genius, and in his generosity of soul. That he was a towering figure of 19th century music is abundantly clear from her book. Alan Walker has more detail, is more scholarly, which is to be expected from a three-volume work. But Ms. Perenyi clearly is the more evocative writer, and brings Liszt to life in a way that I have not found in any other biography. If you can find her book, get it, for it is a gem of writing, and of biography.
