Apparently Bolet was due to record enough for a multi-LP issue, which never saw the light of day, until Samuels discovered the rejected tracks last year.
He seems almost to narrate the long, lyrical lines (whichever register the theme happens to occur in), simultaneously being possessed of a complete grasp of the structural shape, so that the tremendously large sonorities of the climax are almost overbearing in their impact.
Bolet treats this often-abused piece with the greatest respect and as a result his reading has real integrity.

 jorge-bolet Mp3 Albums Review
Bolet's superior tonal colouring - beautiful, but not too far-driven, for the risk it would almost be too intimidating - and his peaceful nature lift this music to the greatest heights.
Bolet always refused to subordinate his lyric gifts to mere technical facility, so even pieces other virtuosos turn into barn-burners, like Funandeacute;railes and Rhapsodie espagnole, are more measured here, with each note given its full value and the flashier aspects present but secondary to the total picture.
Bolet's performances with the Nuremburgers, under Ainslee Cox, attest to this by being more akin to chamber concertos, very much stylistically classical in their stunning simplicity and directness, with the piano always the prominent speaker, the orchestra scaled back, the give-and-take dialogue between the two uniquely intimate.

Bolet's playig is magnificent throughout, who would have guessed he recorded this series well into his sixties?
For me, Bolet is the only pianist whose interpretations of Liszt present us with the best possible view of the music - a view of the music in which Liszt literally stands revealed as a composer of the highest possible distinction.
The tremendous virtuosity required by the music is always in the background on Bolet's recordings, since the difficulties are always subordinated to the musical thought in question.

 jorge-bolet Mp3 Albums Review
Jorge Bolet's repertoire was limited - roughly, Beethoven through Liszt, plus some Rachmaninov and Prokofiev; hardly any Bach (except for the Bach-Busoni Chaconne) or Mozart, no moderns - but within that range he was one of 20th century's greatest pianists.
Bolet was, in his time, one of the world's greatest Liszt players, and this release catches him at his best.
The reasons behind Bolet's transformation from a stunning virtuoso in the grand romantic tradition into what the critic Bryce Morrison once referred to as "the tired old man of Decca fame" (the label which released the pianist's late efforts) are moot, but there is no gainsaying the change.

Although Bolet released several CDs of Liszt music; most prominently the double CD on Decca in the mid 1980's, I believe this one to be his finest.
Bolet's performance of the Tannhauser on this CD as well as on his live recording at Carnegie Hall are both superb, and should be heard by every Liszt enthusiast.
Bolet did it in one take at the end of a recording session that was actually done for the day, and the engineers practically weren't ready for it (a miracle that they managed to get it all on 2 tapes and present it here edited together), and it's the perfect conclusion to this CD.

 Bolet Rediscovered 82876 53310-2 [CH]: Classical CD Reviews- Jan 2005 MusicWeb-International   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Tannhäuser Overture was a one-off which Bolet offered spontaneously at the end of a session taping works by Rachmaninov, and again was set aside (in all truth it’s not always technically clean so Bolet himself may have vetoed it).
These performances therefore stand midway between those sometimes staid and unexciting performances of Bolet’s late Decca period, which are what most people know him by, and those of the firebrand cult-figure of his earlier years spent away from the limelight and only tenuously documented.
Meditating on why I was left so unmoved, I think Bolet (and maybe the recording engineers too) is neglecting the instructions Richard Strauss once gave to an orchestra: “Gentlemen, you are giving me all the notes; give me an impression of my music”.

 classical music - andante - a rediscovered liszt recital by jorge bolet
Bolet was one of the great Liszt players, but not a showman like Horowitz or Cziffra.
And when Bolet does play a showpiece, such as the Grand galop chromatique, he attempts to emphasize its musical values, though this is a mistake because it doesn't have any.
It is the singing quality of the famous Liebestraum No. 3, the grandeur of Funérailles, and the surprising exposure of musical values in the famous Rhapsodie espagnole that make this a recital very much worth hearing, especially for listeners who want to take Liszt seriously as a composer.
