I did a search, and a few of the obvious recordings came up , but can folks here contribute to a list of Liszt ?(vinyl is my only medium, but if it's also available on other media, that's fine too). I have a few of the usual suspects, e.g. Nojima, a few old Mercurys, the odd Everest and just finished listing to an old demo pressing on Columbia of Philippe Entremont which wasn't half bad, although a tad noisy.
I realized I'm a little light in the Liszt department and find some of the work stirring, even if it may be 'warhorse' material as far as serious classical piano devotees are concerned.
Thanks in advance.

My preferred Liszt masterpiece is "Années de pèlerinage" (Years of Pilgrimage) played by Lazar Berman.

But the "12 Etudes d'exécution transcendante" recordings performed by Claudio Arrau receive almost the same listening time!

How do you mean, Micro? They have the same recording length?

No - the first recording is a three CD album and the second one just one CD.

But I play the "12 Études" more frequently.
