Emil von Sauer (1862-1942): Liszt - Etude: “Ricordanza“

Emil von Sauer was a pupil of Liszt (1811-1886), who made probably the most successful recordings of any of the Liszt pupils. Sauer was noted for his aristocratic approach to music-making, with lashings of charm, elegance and style backed up by phenomenal technique. This etude is no.9 (in Ab) from Liszt’s set of Transcendental Etudes, and the performance was recorded in around 1941.
