Faust-Symphonie

Album by Franz Liszt & Kenneth Riegel & Tanglewood Festival Chorus & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Leonard Bernstein

Faust-Symphonie is a symphonic work by Franz Liszt, completed and published in 1857. Musically it is a mid-Romantic programme symphony in three extended movements that employs thematic transformation, dense orchestration and dramatic gesture to evoke characters and ideas from Goethe's Faust, marking a significant expansion of Liszt's approach to symphonic form in his later career.
