LISZTen IN RAIDING

Beside Franz Liszt also two masters of the classical period are part of the programme: Ludwig v. Beethoven, from whom Liszt received the famous 'Weihekuss' in his youth in Vienna and from whom he was very impressed during his whole life and Franz Schubert, from his songs Liszt got the inspiration for the famous transcriptions. A lot of other works are completing the programme: opera paraphrases about works by Mozart, Verdi, Tschaikowsky and Borodin as well as Russian‐Orthodox songs and virtuous pieces of the romantic period.
