There are also a few more pieces you could showcase. The middle section of Mephisto Waltz No. 2, reaching its climax with tremolo and suspense. Aux Cyprès de la Villa d'Este, with its otherworldly harmonies that keep you on edge-just when you think it reaches its climax, the tension continues. Les Harmonies du Soir, with its ecstatic climax, which I love, along with its calm section, where the composer writes quasi arpa. The Piano Concerto No. 2 has incredible harmonies. In general, all of his late works are worthy of mention.
Yeah you really should include the benediction ! Petrarch 104 is also one of his most enriching works. Mignon’s Lied (there is a transcription) is one of his most beautiful melodies
In the rhapsody espagnole, I would have chosen the La Folia theme at about 3min in, when the octave sessions begins. The same theme played 4 times, but each time more powerfull and intense than the last. One of my favorite moment in all classical repertoire
I'm so glad somebody had finally remembered "Il Lamento" (No.1 of 3 Concert Etudes). But calling it for the technically less able players is sacrilegious. It is way more difficult than it sounds. The wild double leap section immediately before the emotions finally subside is truly horrendous for even the most professional pianists. Perhaps it is for this very reason that it is so much under-played and under-recorded. Missing out "Harmonies du Soir" and "Vallee d’Obermann" is such a pity for a list of strikingly beautiful moments from Liszt.

I like how the two sonatas got kinda linked together at 17:04
This is an awesome video. Thank you so much!
Liszt's Le Cloches de geneve is also a marvelous piece in all aspects.. very good listen

Sonoto Del Petrarca 104 being left of out this list is wild
True
Gem of a video, thank you
9:33
Golden choice
8:40 whenever i listen to this section a "crying or agony" comes to my mind, especially with kissin's performance
btw i recommend to listen the climax from la sonnambula

Do Rachmaninov!
19:46 This is not in Liszt's score!
Yes it is.
It actually is, but the way it's played is different from other pianists.
But I love that approach she has to that part, it's refreshing rubato.
I'm reporting the video, because you dare disregard Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude and Vallée d'Obermann
Benediction de dieu dans la solitude WHERE LOL??????
