Description: | This latest album in the Complete Piano Music series of Franz Liszt is devoted to memorialising the dead. Historical Hungarian Portraits dates largely from 1885 and commemorates significant figures in the countryâ??s recent past, including politicians, a poet and a musician. The mood is powerfully sombre. Liszt marked his son-in law
Wagnerâ??s death with Am Grabe R. Wagner (â??At the Grave of Richard Wagnerâ??) using a theme from Parsifal. But the most intense and forward-looking of these pieces is Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, a foretaste of the experimental piano writing to come.
The Hungarian pianist JenoÌ? Jandó is one of the top pianists in the Naxos catalogue. JenoÌ? Jandó is a professor of the Liszt Academy in Budapest. - JENO JANDOBorn at Raiding in Hungary in 1811, the son of Adam Liszt, a steward in the service of Haydn's former patrons, the Esterházy princes, Franz Liszt had early encouragement from members of the Hungarian nobility, allowing him in 1822 to go to Vienna, for lessons with Czerny and a famous meeting with Beethoven. From there he moved to Paris, where Cherubini refused him admission to the Conservatoire, as a foreigner. Nevertheless, he was able to impress audiences by his performance, now supported by the Erard family, piano manufacturers whose wares he was able to advertise in the concert tours on which he embarked. Liszt is perhaps best known for his invention of the symphonic poem. The works on this release are performed by Hungarian pianist Jeno Jandó.? &© 2020 Naxos Rights (Europe) Ltd. Made in Germany.
