Piano works from the oeuvre of Ferenc Liszt
The concert titled "Liszt: Poetry and Religion" juxtaposes two defining pillars of the composer's oeuvre: secular adoration and sacred contemplation.
The program explores Liszt’s virtuoso and spiritual duality through the dichotomy of earthly love and transcendent faith.
The Petrarch Sonnets, inspired by Renaissance poetry, evoke platonic yearning and spiritual anguish with singing melodies.
In contrast, Ave Maria introduces the listener to the meditative realm of religious devotion and inner silence.
Pensées des morts presents a philosophical reflection on transience and hope beyond death with dramatic force.
The B minor Ballade tells a grand, demonic, and heroic story while pushing the technical boundaries of the piano.
The F minor Transcendental Étude provides the perfect synthesis of poetic fire and supreme virtuosity.
This selection sheds light on Liszt's complex inner world, where stormy passion and deep humility coexist harmoniously.
Sixty years in the service of music.
