This is a historic recording.......2005-03-13

Philip Thomson, who is a graduate of Juilliard, winner of their Franz Liszt Piano Concerto Competition, studied with Swiss legend Pierre Souvairan and then with the inimitable and incredible Abbey Simon, two of the top 10 pianists of the 20th Century, is a credit to his teachers and emulates their masterful and emotional performances with his own unique blend of technical mastery and emotional wizardry. He is a Lizst specialist who becomes one with the insturment, they are an inseperable unit, and the mesmerizing energy experienced when witnessing his live performance is lessened, but not in any real sense lost in his recordings.

This particular recording is the culmination of the discovery by Thomson, that De Profudis was a fully realized 40 minute piano concerto which Lizst had penned minus a few bars. It escaped attention for 150 years in the Goethe-Schiller archives in Weimar until its 1991 performance by Thomson and the Hugarian State Orchestra. It received worldwide critical acclaim in music journals and by review. Enjoy one of the best kept secrets of the pianistic world. Listen to all of Thomson's recordings on Ivory Classics, Naxos and Hungaroton.
