Two of the Harmonies Poetiques et Religieuses, Funerailles and Benediction
de Dieu dans la solitude, are quite well known and often performed in
isolation.  The complete set was volume 7 in Leslie Howard's traversal
of the complete piano works of Liszt on Hyperion (CDA66421/2), and an
earlier version was on volume 47, "Litanies de Marie" (CDA67187).

The Benediction is one of my favorite pieces by Liszt.
