Product Description Franz Liszt's most familiar works -- six of his Hungarian Rhapsodies -- are best known in their original solo piano versions and Liszt's orchestrations. Pianists Georgia & Louise Mangos, two "first-rate Lisztians" (Fanfare), perform Liszt's rarely heard duet versions (one piano, four-hands), possible the only CD ever of the duets. To those who sniff at piano transcriptions as "reductions," recording producer Jim Ginsburg points out that these Rhapsodies are actually "enlargements" of Liszt's original solo piano versions. To round out the program, the Mangos sisters chose Liszt's Mephisto Waltz for Two Pianos, rather than Liszt's four-hand arrangement. The Mangos sisters felt the duo-piano version provided "a more glorious score, a more explosive presentation of the musical idea," making it a better companion for the Rhapsodies. Review These performances will knock your socks off. -- The Audio Critic This is more than fun. It shows a side of Liszt not usually encountered. -- American Record Guide [They] not only surmount the technical challenges, they also make musical statements that caputre the pride, glitter, and sheer compositional frenzy of Liszt's achievements. -- Cleveland Plain Dealer About the Artist Duo-pianists Georgia & Louise Mangos have concertized throughout Europe and the United States, including recitals for the International Chopin Society and performances with the Inter-national Chamber Music Festival in Germany and Austria. In 1987, the Mangos sisters were one of the twelve out of 129 contestant teams selected to compete in the first Murray Dranoff International Duo-Piano Competition in Miami. The MangosÃs many broadcast performances on radio and television have included live performances for Chicago fine arts radio station WFMT-FM and an appearance as the selected artist for a television special on duo-pianism for Continental Cablevision. Chicago-area natives, the Mangos have appeared on numerous local recital series including the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series, the Chopin Foundation Concert Series, and the concert series of the Art Institute of Chicago. Georgia and Louise have won grants from the Illinois Arts Council, and were chosen to participate in the Illinois Artstour program, a select group of artists that tour the state. The Mangos sisters have earned individual degrees from the New England Conservatory, Boston University, and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. As a two-piano team they continued their studies with Paul Badura-Skoda and Jorg Demus at the Hochschule fur Musik in Munich and have coached with Adele Marcus of the Juilliard School, Dr. Bela Nagy of Catholic University, and Earl Wild at the University of Ohio, Columbus.
