"... a totally convincing collection, technically superb ... everything has a sense of dramatic purpose, power and tonal beauty; the colours WiIliams creates from the keyboard are radiant and entrancing. "
-The Guardian
Pianist Llyr Williams explores Wagner’s rich and evocative sound world from a different perspective, featuring insightful arrangements of Wagner’s operas by Franz Liszt and Glenn Gould, as well as Williams’s own arrangement of music from Parsifal. At the heart of the programme is a selection of Wagner’s own piano pieces, many of which were written earlier in his compositional career, hinting at the grand operatic masterworks which were yet to come.
