Watts's youthful passion and skill take on Liszt's monumental structures
Andre Watts renders the B minor Sonata, considered one of the most difficult pieces of music, on an astounding scale.
The contrast between powerful keystrokes and delicate soft notes emphasizes Liszt's distinctive dramatic worldview. Even in the Paganini Etudes, his earnest approach to delving into the musical essence without flaunting his technique is moving.
