Franz Liszt: Historical Hungarian Portraits

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 country's recent past, including politicians, a poet and a musician. The mood is powerfully sombre. Liszt marked his son-in law Wagner's death with 'Am Grabe R. Wagner' (At the Grave of Richard Wagner) 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.
