"This is the
Turkish-born pianist Zeynep Ucbasaran’s third recording
for Eroica – I have previously reviewed her first Liszt collection
(JDT3092) and her coupling of Schubert’s late A major Sonata with the
'Wanderer' Fantasy (JDT3108)... The present Liszt collection seems to
me her best yet. I immediately noticed many places in the 'Dante
Sonata' where melodic strands are separated from their accompaniments
with real pianistic mastery and there is certainly no lack of singing
tone.. this is certainly a very fine achievement. Anyone who picks up
this disc will be left in no doubt that Liszt was a composer of lofty
aims and noble inspiration, a fact which some still question,
including, alas, many who actually play his music."
