Dante Symphony, Tasso, Künstlerfestzug & Vor hundert Jahren

This collection of orchestral works by Franz Liszt was composed in the mid-19th century, with the pieces completed between 1849 and 1857. They exemplify Liszt's symphonic-poem approach, blending programme-driven thematic transformation, dramatic orchestration and chromatic harmony to extend the boundaries of Romantic orchestral writing and mark a key phase in his transition from piano virtuoso to orchestral composer.
