Interesting Facts

• Franz Liszt (1811–1886), known primarily for his virtuoso piano works, also created deeply introspective late compositions reflecting spiritual and philosophical themes.
• The Consolations (1844–1849) included here are among Liszt’s most intimate piano works, adapted beautifully for cello and piano.
• The transcription work of Harro Ruijsenaars gives a new timbral dimension to rarely performed Liszt miniatures such as Nuages Gris and Resignazione.
• Pianist Rian de Waal (1958–2011) was celebrated for his refined interpretations of Romantic repertoire. This recording captures his artistry in one of his last projects.
