Faust Symphony / Mephisto Waltz

Album by Franz Liszt & Kirill Karabits & Staatskapelle Weimar

This album is a recording of orchestral and piano works by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, drawn from compositions dating from the 1850s. The music exemplifies Liszt's mature Romantic language, featuring expansive chromatic harmony, virtuosic piano and orchestral writing, and programme-driven thematic transformation that links his symphonic approach with the emerging symphonic poem tradition and influenced subsequent late-Romantic composers.
First released: 4th August 2023
