Faust Symphony

Album by Franz Liszt & Riccardo Chailly & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Hans Peter Blochwitz & Groot Omroepkoor

Faust Symphony is a symphonic work by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, completed in 1854. The three-movement score employs large-scale orchestral forces, thematic transformation and programme-driven characterisation to depict figures from Goethe's Faust, and it represents a significant point in Liszt's exploration of programme symphony and orchestral colour.
