PUPILS OF LISZT. George Liebling, the brother of another Liszt pupil Saul Liebling, was born in Berlin in 1865 three years after the birth of Moriz Rosenthal. Both died in 1946 and both studied with Liszt but not during the same period. That is where the comparison ends, Whereas, Rosenthal maintained his technique over the years, Liebling devoted most of his time composing a vast number of compositions including operas, concertos and sonatas for piano a great mass and many songs. By 1920 when these recordings were made, his technique had so deteriorated that he was no longer able to negotiate the difficulties of Liszt's "La Campanella." In September of 1929, Liebling opened a studio at the St. Francis Apartment Hotel in Hollywood. He and his wife Alice, evidently enjoyed successful careers in Los Angeles, he as a pianist, composer and teacher and she as a novelist and playwright. Alice Liebling died in Hollywood in1934 at the age of 64. . An article published January 1942 in the Los Angeles Times regarding his studio reads," Dr. George Liebling, pianist, composer and teacher, studied with Franz Liszt and also with Rubinstein, Leschetizky and Kullak. His pupils come from many States. Students are often presented in recitals to accustom them to audiences." I can not locate any further information about Liebling after this date.

Is the thumbnail pic of Saul from the picture of Liszt and several pupils also on YT under a Reisenauer clip?

Et al. For over half a century I'd never heard Liebling's one disc, only reports from others as to how bad it was, and to not bother. Now that I have, thanks to Beckmesser2, I can say that here was in my ears a grand technique and musical outlook that at one time likely was a thing extraordinary. That it had come to some grief as can be heard here, I'll not hold against maitre Liebling but rather only time and oddified circumstance. I perceive in these three grandeur-still. In the actual cut, so-to-speak, it may have been that he just had an off-day before the recorder. Now, Liebling's Welte-Mignon (Licensee) record rolls are a very differing matter from the foregoing. Unfailingly, these are delights when auditioned, being mostly of the above-mentioned compositions of Liebling's, all as well crafted and played splendidly. Also, as I recall from long ago, too there was a very fine 4th Hungarian Rhapsody that he'd done, for that extraordinary punched-paper reenacting format. What is needed as a boost for George Liebling, is a audio survey of a number of those record-rolls. They did sell rather well for W-M (Licensee) and are therefore not all that hard to locate by their dedicated collectors. Thanks much Beckmesser2, for making your rare shellac sides available for our consideration. . : .

Amazing

Yes Jim, I'm ten years late to the party. I had read long ago of the Liebling disc but had never heard of an LP or CD transfer, and I don't think Harry had it in his collection. Yes, he's clearly out of condition here, almost sunk to the level of the notorious Josef Weiss disc (which I copied at Harry's). I'm using this pseudonym now on RU-vid.

@@pianomaly9859 'Just now found your nice comment! Sorry. (Old Y-T seems not very interested in notifying me of such response anymore.) Well, surely better late than never! I too am sure Harry did not, or we would have requested it's auditioning. I've checked a fair amount and found that Liebling got very good (glowing even!) reviews, from his performances of earlier years. He made a fine clutch of early Mignon "T-100" record-rolls, as well as even more Licensees later-on. These all played remarkably well, so I noted. (An improvisation of his in Thirds on some Chopin waltz or other, was most creative and ticklingly delightful.) Yes! I like your pseudonym "Pianomaly"! Most clever! . : .

@@jamesmiller4184 Yes, Liebling certainly must have been a better artist than what is present on this disc. Harry would have been agog at the amount of historical pianism available today. Fifty years ago, anyone suggesting a complete de Pachmann or Koczalski set would have been laughed out of an office. There are even a few Paderewski selections available that I doubt he was aware of. He had one of P's Schumann Nachstuck in F recordings, and wouldn't let me copy it. Now BOTH of them are available. Is there any hope of finding the fabled STAVENHAGEN disc now??
