Capsule Summary

This final volume of Liszt opera transcriptions is derived primarily from Endre Hegedüs’s Hungaroton recordings of the operatic paraphrases. Just the final track, which already appeared on Opera Transcriptions, Volume 1, is by Giovanni Bellucci.

All of the Hegedüs performances have been slightly slowed down or sped up.
