Moriz Rosenthal was also one of the more important Liszt pupils, therefore his legacy is of the utmost importance as representative of 19th-century style. He was renowned as one of the supreme technicians and, although he began to record only in old age, this can still be heard in his own two Strauss paraphrases recorded here. However, it is for his Chopin above all that Rosenthal should be remembered.
