Before Schnabel there was Lamond!!!! (pic)

I've just acquired this, Rare Recorded Editions RRE161




Frederic Lamond, Liszt's last pupil, talking about meeting Liszt for the first time and life as his student. IIRC the recording was made for the BBC in 1944 when Lamond was around 80 years old.

The record is one of a series produced by Michael G. Thomas and to the best of my knowledge is the only LP transfer of Lamond, who had to wait until the 1990s for his work to be re-issued after many years.

Lamond's playing is vastly different to Schnabel, but as there is a direct link through Liszt to Beethoven, whom he heard play as a young man, Lamond could well be closer to Beethoven.

This LP gives us a glimpse of Liszt as a man from someone who knew him well.
