Liszt (1811-1886)

Description:

Franz Liszt has had a tumultuous and eventful life from his early years, but it was around the middle of his life that he began to devote himself to religion. Franz Liszt led a tumultuous and eventful life from his early years, but it was around the middle of his life that he began to gravitate toward religion, and along with this, his works gradually took on a more profound atmosphere, and a departure from tonality was also apparent. The two oratorios on this album are both "religious works" composed in the 1860s, when Liszt was over 50 years old. Christ" (1866) is a magnificent oratorio that depicts the birth, suffering, and resurrection of Christ. Both works are rarely performed in their entirety and rarely heard. Liszt has extracted beautiful passages from each work and prepared the scores for solo piano performance. This is a beautiful collection of music with a much more relaxed atmosphere than the works of his youth. Naxos Japan
