Leslie Howard is the finest lecturer/pianist OF ALL TIME. Great page turner, by the way.

Its so weird seeing the place completely empty, it should be full! The performances were wonderful, and not only that, Leslie Howard did an outstanding job going into depth with Liszt's repertoire

Get Leslie Howard's 99 CD set of Liszt's Complete Piano Music and you won't regret it! This is an impressive achievement that may never be attempted by any other artist. An Internet search for it will bring you many hours of music!

What an inspiring video! Anyone still clinging to the tired old stereotypes surrounding Liszt and his music would benefit from hearing Leslie Howard's extraordinarily thoughtful and knowledgeable remarks about the composer and his legacy. Great, unhackneyed selection of pieces, too, splendidly played. Thank you and God bless you, Mr. Howard, for all your services to music, and to that of Liszt in particular.

Another very interesting discussion of Franz Liszt is Leslie in the video called 'il Grande Virtuoso' which is mostly in Italian but is peppered with English dialog throughout the long video, accompanied with other musicians/conductors. Leslie Howard is brilliant while he speaks instructively in French. Thank you Leslie...carry on...

It's just amazing that he can sight reading such a complex work (Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, S.154) live!!

A remarkable piece for Liszt to have written at only 22...

I have never been as distracted by a bored page turner as when watching Howard giving such intelligent background information, here.

Howard ha contribuito alla diffusione e alla comprensione di Listz, negletto ai suoi tempi e apprezzato nel XXI secolo

bella versione per piano solo del concerto pathetique

Lo ho ascoltato dal vivo nel 1997; era camuffato da Elvis Presley
