Liszt: My Piano Hero features the composer‟s Piano Concerto No.1, which Lang Lang recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Vienna Philharmonic. The disc also includes some of Liszt‟s most poetic and virtuosic solo piano works and transcriptions such as the Hungarian Rhapsodies Nos.6and 15, Liebestraum, Grand galopchromatique, the Liszt/Schubert Ave Mariaand the famous “La campanella”from GrandesÉtudesde Paganini.Franz Liszt, who is regarded as the first “pop star” in music history, is Lang Lang‟s “piano hero”.
