Info for Grosses Konzertsolo

Few experiences transformed my performances like my relationship with Zoltán Kocsis. The opportunity to play together encouraged me to more fully execute technical skills, and his immeasurable knowledge of music provided inspiration for a lifetime. His unique genius and charisma unleashed energies I never knew. Often considered Zoltan Kocsis’ legendary pieces, this publication includes the Liszt works. Another notable reason to include the Liszt works was our decade long collaboration beginning with the Réminiscences de Norma. Kocsis' live recordings of the Grosses Konzertsolo, S.176. and Réminiscences de Norma stand out among interpretations of the works to date, and among all recordings of piano literature ever made. Kocsis demonstrates impressive technical confidence, almost perfection, with unique drifting and captivating musicality may have been the preserve of Ferenc Liszt. The purpose of this publication is to pay tribute to a great man of our time who became a role model for his contemporaries and many generations that followed, through his genius, character, unrelenting perfectionism, and his obsession. I am not trying to surpass the perfection or standard of excellence that has appeared in almost all of Kocsis' interpretations. (Dávid Báll)
