I hope the Naxos recordings are better than the Leslie Howard
snoozers on Hyperion. I bought three - 3 cd sets of the Lizst Schubert
transcriptions and found them so boring I resolved to not buy any more
of Howard's series unless I could first hear some cuts from the CD. It
was a stiff price to pay to be disappointed. I heard Howard's version
of the b minor sonata. I was similarly unimpressed.
I have the Naxos of the Lizst/Beethovan symphonies and I like them better
than the Katsiris on Teldec.
