Liszt’s transcription of Beethoven’s Nine Symphonies represents one of the pinnacles of transcription. Relying on his own transcendental skills, Liszt goes beyond simple piano reduction and throws down the gauntlet to the pianist: is it possible to be an orchestra at the piano? Maurizio Baglini, who has been an expert on the Beethoven/Liszt symphonies for years, tries his hand at the famous “Pastorale”, amid storms and bucolic scenes immersed in nature.
