>I have been a fan of the French pianist David Fray since I heard recordings of him playing Mozart and Bach. His 2006 recording of the Liszt Sonata on the ATMA label, when Fray was just 25, shows a remarkable maturity and integrity. The Andante sostenuto sections are especially beguiling, while his tone is bright and full. Again, like many of the great interpreters of this work, Fray nicely balances the lyrical and percussive elements and makes good judgments when it comes to pacing and dynamics. Fray possesses a uniquely noble and elegant tone, as well as the technical chops needed for Liszt. The ATMA recording quality is near perfection to my ears.

I feel like exploring a large array of recordings of Liszt's piano sonata, using

as a guide. It's got enough suggestions for a lifetime. If anyone has any specific recommendations, I'd be glad to give them a listen! Or anything they wanna say about the work itself.
