A considerable portion of Liszt's oeuvre is made up of compositions for male choir, which have to date not truly gained their rightful place in the choral repertoire. Of the more than 60 varied male choruses, composed a cappella or accompanied by piano, organ, a few instruments, or orchestra, often extant in various complete, printed versions, a great number have not been recorded even once. The Saint Ephraim Male Choir, led by conductor Tamás Bubnó, has set itself the task of programming in concerts, recording and releasing on CD all Liszt's works for male choir and ensembles of male voices, both the sacred and the secular. In unearthing the sources, laying the scholarly groundwork and writing the commentaries, assistance is provided by the staff of the Budapest Liszt Memorial Museum and Research Centre.

Press Quotes
Technically the recording is irreproachable (...) the interpretation of the Saint Ephraim Male Choir is excellent because of its implication, its colour and its ductility (...). In short, a work with a program almost unknown, (...) that announces on the right foot the bicentenary of the birth of Liszt
—Juan Carlos Moreno, Scherzo, december 2010
Besides the pleasure these recordings give, they will surely stimulate other choirs to investigate this little known region of the Lisztian continent.
—Paul Griffiths, Hungarian Quarterly, 2011/4
