  1. On 16 April 1854: #FranzLiszt's symphonic poem "Mazeppa" premieres at the Court Theatre in Weimar.

  2. A Hungarian Rhapsody

    Back home to the news that Viktor Orbán has been ousted in today’s election in Hungary I thought I’d share something celebratory. Here is a classic recording of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor by Franz Liszt played by György Cziffra. The second is by far the most famous of the 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies Liszt wrote, although it is based on Romanian rather than Hungarian tunes. Many recordings are available – I have three on CD – and this is my favourite. Cziffra was a very talented jazz musician too (here is his take on Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Lady); Liszt himself was no mean improviser.

    I’m not sure of the recording date, but was made in Hungary (when it was still behind the Iron Curtain) so it would have to be before 1956, as Cziffra escaped to Vienna then and eventually took up French citizenship.

  3. "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" is a song written and composed by #MackDavid, #AlHoffman and #JerryLivingston for the #WaltDisney film #Cinderella (1950). In the song, Cinderella (voiced by #IleneWoods) encourages her animal friends never to stop #dreaming, and that theme continues throughout the entire story. The song was inspired by #FranzLiszt’s #TranscendentalEtudeNo9Ricordanza.

  7. Aktuell in der HörBar: Liszt / Mark Viner

    Eine Sammlung von zwölf Klavierstücken, die man nicht ohne weiteres mit Franz Liszt in Verbindung bringt. Dabei hat es sich der Tasten-Virtuose mit der Komposition von Weihnachtsbaum nicht gerade leicht gemacht – zwischen 1873/74 und 1882 entstanden insgesamt vier Fassungen für zwei Hände und weitere für zwei Klaviere. Nicht alle se

  8. Oh! quand je dors, viens auprès de ma couche,
    comme à Pétrarque apparaissait Laura,
    Et qu'en passant ton haleine me touche...
    Soudain ma bouche
    S'entrouvrira!

    Sur mon front morne où peut-être s'achève
    Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
    Que ton regard comme un astre se lève...
    Et soudain mon rêve
    Rayonnera!

  9. Both “Totentanz” by Thomas Adès and “Totentanz…” by Liszt take inspiration from the late middle age artistic genre known as the Danse Macabre AKA The Dance of Death, which is centered around the concept of Momento Mori AKA “ remember you must die”

  10. Our final piece is Franz Liszt’s “Totentanz: Paraphrase on Dies Irae,S.126” (youtu.be/DS-ppx_HtiI?si=DEPNYI) which is noted for combining the theme of the “Totentanz” with the Gregorian chant melody “Dies irae” which loosely translates to “The Day of Wrath”. Also, like basically all Liszt pieces there’s A LOT of versions. This is the version as edited by German composer Emil von Sauer (Source:random picture of a program that I think might have been for this performance)

  11. The new exhibition "Saint Petersburg as Franz Liszt Saw It" pulls Russian lithographs from our collection to show what the capital city would have looked like during the years the great composer and pianist was touring or living there.

    Here's an image of the Theater of Empress Alexandra at the time. Carlo Rossi (1775 – 1849) designed all the neoclassical structures in this view of Saint Petersburg.
