kjpepperI hate orchestral arrangements of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody." (forget which number it is). Especially ones with no trace of the original piano piece. Like the arrangement from Tom and Jerry is more or less ok, cause it's the piano piece with a bit of backup from an orchestra. But the arrangement they were just playing on NPR? Utterly dreadful. It sounds like a bad scoring to a even worse movie from the 1960s about Roman chariot races dubbed into English from the original Swedish that really bear no historical resemblance to actual Roman times because the women are all sporting very Classical period accurate beehives and blue glitter eye makeup.
Leave the damn piece alone, people, Lizst knew what he was doing when he wrote it the first time.
