{"product_id":"complete-symphonies-transcribe","title":"COMPLETE SYMPHONIES TRANSCRIBE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis box set assembles the complete Beethoven symphonies, patiently transcribed for piano over a quarter of a century and recorded for harmonia mundi by a glittering array of soloists in the late 1980s. Liszt’s assiduity in this task reminds us of his spiritual, well-nigh religious admiration for the older composer, a genius ‘consecrated in art’ whose ‘conscientious translator’ he wished to be, thanks to the latest pianistic advances. Traduttore or traditore? Judge for yourself: Liszt does not make simple reductions or arrangements, but totally rewrites the works, as if they had been originally conceived for the piano.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HBDirect","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49704291533080,"sku":"3149020941782","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/51LmP_jtizL.jpg?v=1770162479","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/complete-symphonies-transcribe","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
