Title: Superb Performances
Review: This is the kind of thing Iván Fischer excels at. Here we get glorious performances of the orchestral versions of Liszt's Hungarian rhapsodies (Liszt's own for nos. 4-6, Doppler in no.2 and Liszt and Doppler in no.3 - the numberings are for the orchestral versions which don't universally correspond to the piano ones), with gipsy violins and cimbalom used to great effect. Fischer isn't stingy with rubato, and his view - as in the Brahms Hungarian Dances - is a rather free one, but he conjures up the colors and life imaginatively and vividly. It is all superbly played by the Budapest Festival Orchestra as well; charmingly, warmly, dynamically and enjoyably. For highlights, sample for instance the colorful no. 6 or the gnarly, powerful brass at the beginning of no. 4. A hugely enjoyable disc, then, and strongly recommended.
