A Faust Symphony

Album by Franz Liszt

A Faust Symphony is a symphonic work by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, completed in 1857. The work exemplifies Liszt's mature approach to programme music, employing extended orchestral textures and thematic transformation to portray characters from Goethe's Faust, and it forms part of his late orchestral output while contributing to the development of programme-based symphonic writing.
First released: 25th January 2008
