This is some great music played very well early in Brendel's career. While not the most soaring and sublime performances Brendel brings out much of the beauty and is not "bangy". In addition to the concerti and sonata, this includes some less well known material that is definitely worth hearing like the wild Totentanz and the "Lugubre Gondola". The other smash bargain Liszt recording to buy is Cohen's selection of mostly later works in the Naxos series of Liszt piano music. If you want to pay a little more, for about 10-12 bucks you can get Richter playing both concerti and the sonata on Philips. That's the place to start a collection of Liszt playing. And pick up Ginsburg's CD in the Russian Piano School series.
