About

Liszt’s solitary Sonata for piano (1851-3) is perhaps the summit of keyboard writing in the romantic period. Taking Beethoven's development of the piano sonata to its logical conclusion, and marrying it with the structure of Schubert’s ‘Wanderer’ Fantasy, Liszt created a towering masterpiece that consists of six sections, divided into sixteen, played without a break. These are interlinked with leitmotivs that develop, fuse together, clash with each other, and disintegrate over the course of the sonata’s half-hour span. It is an architectural masterpiece, and one of the most exciting works in the repertoire.

The Petrarch Sonnets date from 1838, and were originally for voice and piano. In the versions for solo piano they become songs without words, Liszt vividly capturing the sentiments of the original poem.

Liszt composed two Legends in 1863, both dedicated to his daughter Cosima. Although originally for orchestra, it is the piano versions that have become the most popular. The one on this CD depicts St Francis’s sermon to the birds. It is a delicate and solemn piece, a world away from the turbulent sonata.

Yingdi Sun won the prestigious International Franz Liszt Piano Competition in 2005, held in Utrecht. Since then, he has toured extensively in the Netherlands, Europe, America, South Africa, China and Indonesia and has performed with many of the world’s major orchestras, including the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra.
