"The 'Miserere', based on a theme of Palestrina, is so free an arrangement that we have the right to call it a composition based on someone's theme. It was composed in 1847, at the end of Liszt's virtuoso career, and is part of the 'Harmonies poetiques et religieuses'. It's Liszt's very deep feeling and closeness to the Palestrina type of musical expression." -Ervin Nyiregyhazi

"The sounds of the harp or lyre in David's hands were unmistakable. As always, one lost consciousness of the piano and became immersed in what it created, in the interweaving of Renaissance and nineteenth-century rhetorics both harking back to something ancient and primeval. Only much later, in comparing this performance to a score, did I become aware that entire sections are repeated in this performance, that the score had served only as the basis for a monumental musing with sense and structure of its own." -Richard Kapp

"My approach is a combination of instinct and conscious morality. It is no sin to change a score, but you can't do it in a frivolous way. An artist has to impose a sense of responsibility on the music. He must never violate the faith of the composer. That is a matter of artistic honor."
