He was born in Doborján, Sopron County, Hungary. His father, Ádám Liszt, clerk to Duke Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to develop it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art patrons, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He presented himself in Vienna on December 1, 1822
In 1920/1921, a strip of Hungarian territory was transferred to Austria and Doborján was renamed to Raiding, in the district of Oberpullendorf. Around that period, the strip of transferred land became known as Burgenland.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some twentieth-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

It's not only blasphemous it is absolutely misguided and misinformed ...
Arrau wouldn't be able to play this piece without Liszt having written this piece with the explicit intent of making it sound the way it does ...
Arrau would also not be able to interpret the piece without the explicit guidance as set forth in the sheet music by Liszt himself, it would probably sound very different without those hints.
You could state you find Arrau's interpretation to be your favorite, but thats about the extend to which you can accredit Arrau with this piece!
My guess would be Phil is not a musician or composer.

I remember when my teacher played this for mom and me during his lesson. It was the first and the only time I would see him play a full piece and I remember having tears flow down uncontrollably. One of the most beautiful sounds I got to hear. He was a student of Claudio Arrau, who was a pupil of Krause who was taught by Liszt himself.. though I don't deserve to be part of such tutelage lineage, all I can say is it was high grace to be taught by such masterful teacher .. music is eternal!

Who was your Professor?!
I am studying with one of Maestro Arrau’s student.
His name is Aquiles Delle Vigne. It would be curious to find another student of maestro Delle Vigne here :)
And I feel the same as you. It is a kind of honour be part of the lineage of the masters of the past decades. It is above us to keep it up!
Greetings from Brazil!

My mother, Rosalina G.Sackstein, studied with Arrau in her early years in New York. I heard this piece throughout my childhood. She was a professor at the University Miami for around 50 years! Whenever Arrau came to Miami, he’d come to our home! What a thrill it was to hear him play and teach!
I associate this piece with both of them. 💖💖

I love the high notes in the arpeggios. They remind me of little crystal droplets of water bubbling from a fountain.

Wow, what a touch on the instrument!
The slightly rolled left hand chords at 7:35 sound almost exactly like a harp.

Liszt truly had something.I think this,the sonata,the benediction,st.Paul on the rocks shows he was more than just an ambitiuos virtuoso .He was the true Blakean Romantic who wanted to ascend to the highest realm of whatever discipline he learned .There was a divine element in him.Imagine if he had found the eastern mythos instead of catholicism.His period of religiosity makes so much sense .He was always the seeker.Paganini for him something alien,otherworldy not cheap virtuosity.Misunderstood
