British pianist Mark Viner's début recording presents the operatic paraphrases of the neglected pianist-composer, Sigismond Thalberg, aristocratic rival of Liszt and innovator of the so-called 'three-hand effect'. These are some of the very finest of Thalberg’s works; a music of opulent grandeur which draws upon all the heady romantic rhetoric and dramatic narrative of the opera house whilst being sumptuously conceived for the piano.
