“Ben Schoeman gets through the [Liszt] sonata in slightly less time and, aided by a deeply resonant Bösendorfer, gives greater weight to the contrasts between its sections. Although he takes the fugal section at a more deliberate pace, it builds effectively ... Schoeman also includes three selections from the Années de Pelerinage—one of them is the ‘Dante Sonata’, given a powerful presentation with much of the Lisztian rhetoric placed in proper perspective ... The other two pieces are given in spectacular lyrical and colorful splashes of sound that captivate and thrill.”
