Symphonic Poems

Album by Franz Liszt & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Orchestre de Paris & Sir Georg Solti

Symphonic Poems is a cycle of orchestral works by Franz Liszt, composed between 1848 and 1882. The pieces exemplify Liszt's development of the single-movement symphonic poem, employing programme-driven structures, innovative orchestral colour and thematic transformation, and mark his shift toward large-scale orchestral writing in 19th-century music history.
First released: 1986
