About

The second recording for Warner Classics by the critically acclaimed Hungarian pianist Gabor Farkas.

Farkas’ first recording, 2008’s ‘An Evening with Liszt’ was lauded throughout the European press, and won him the 2009 Franz Liszt International Grand Prix du Disque of the Hungarian Liszt Society:
Liszt’s technical challenges are met and surpassed in an impressive debut.  It is a pleasant task to welcome a new name on the block with a debut recording as impressive as any I have heard in the past few years. From the word go you know you are in a safe pair of hands – not that Farkas is inclined to play it safe when it comes to tempi and the music’s more perilous passages – with a warm, velvety sound throughout his wide dynamic range, and an innate grasp of Liszt’s idiom.” - Gramophone

"Where Franz Liszt’s piano music is concerned it is always good to have an exciting new kid on the block and Gábor Farkas fits the bill… Farkas earns his colours with a performance of considerable stature. I was struck by how, right from the first theme, he develops the material with forceful and dramatic power.” - Music Web International
