Title: VERY MINOR LISZT
Review: I must say I never heard of of Liszt's Dante Symphony even though I admire him and have owned at least one version of nearly all his works. It was therefore with great excitement that I listened to this "discovery" -- only to find out rather quickly why it is the most neglected Liszt work. I hate to say it but it is utterly boring, lacking any of the fire and rhythmic magnificence that characterize most of his compositions. I had to struggle mightily to get through the 50-odd minutes of tedium -- and to make sure it was not just my non-receptive mood, I listened again the next day. Unfortunately, the result was the same. 2 stars is charitable, and mostly to acknowledge the valiant effort of James Conlon and the Rotterdam Symmphony to breathe life into thismusical corpse.
