"The 2 audio CDs that accompany this book contain music played on Éard pianos and harps. They follow the life of Liszt from the first piano work dedicated to Sébastian Érard himself, right up until the last composition, entitled Im Traum. The pieces recorded re-enact those delightful soirées musicales, the moments full of subtle humour of Liszt's transcriptions of themes by Chopin, the inner turmoil behind the creation of the Psalms, pages dense with religious pathos."--C.f. Pref.
