The last changes by an anonymous user seem to be copied from official promotional websites of Leslie Howard and Hyperion Records. Due to copyright violation, and the weak text quality, I'll revert this page to the version by Dr. Friendly, unless there are objections posted here the firstcoming days.-- Dr. Friendly 19:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
This page makes a lot of gigantic claims with nothing to back them up. It seems like, if no evidence is forthcoming, it might be best to start over as a stub...-- MatthewLiberal 00:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
To my knowledge, only one other person has attempted this massive feat, the French pianiste France Clidat. She still turns up on Google with misleading claims to have completed the project – [1]. However, she only completed 26 CDs (actually, this was done back in the LP days of the late 60s or early 70s, before CDs were invented – I still have 6 boxed sets of LPs of Clidat’s performances that I bought in the early 70s), as against Howard’s 90-odd, and Howard certainly made many premiere recordings of various works.
However Clidat has a fantastic technique and I still get great enjoyment from her playing, so although she’s on the jury of the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition [2], I’m surprised she’s not better known to the public at large - as judged by not only Wikipedia having no article on her, but also her name appearing only twice in Wikipedia at all – [3]. I’ll add her to my list of articles to create. Is there anyone else who has ever set out on a complete survey of Liszt’s piano works? -- JackofOz ( talk) 23:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Dr. Friendly removed a paragraph because of references. ( diff). I was wondering if this ( [4]) would count as a reference. Joshua Issac ( talk) 19:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
There. It couldn't fail. Someone attached a tag thus: (He himself was only able to span a 6th at the time.)[citation needed] The previous sentence made it clear that Howard was only two years old at that time. So, just what kind of citation do you need? A reference to the anatomy of toddlers perhaps, including limb and finger measurements? -- AVM ( talk) 01:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I have a little problem with:
If he excluded the entire sub-genre of fantasies and transcriptions, then can he really be said to have "represented the entire solo piano oeuvre" of Liszt? The fantasies and transcriptions accounted for a very sizable chunk of the 98 CDs he later recorded – probably a number of dozen of them. -- JackofOz ( talk) 07:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
The bit about Steinway Artist has been brought back in. I think it is an empty factoid unless there is some further expansion of what being a Steinway Artist means to Howard. Binksternet ( talk) 15:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know what lead up to this? -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 01:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
The reason for him being stripped of his AM is not officially known, but these two articles may connect the dots. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/social-leaders-stripped-of-honours-after-falling-from-grace/story-fni0fit3-1226658920443
