A Faust Symphony
Album by Franz Liszt & András Molnar & Magyar Állami Operaház Énekkara & Liszt Ferenc Kamarazenekar & András Ligeti
A Faust Symphony is a symphony by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, written in 1854. The three-movement, programme work draws on Goethe's Faust and employs thematic transformation, an expanded orchestral palette and a wordless chorus to explore character-related motifs, representing a key phase in Liszt's experimentation with symphonic form and programme-music techniques in the mid-19th century.
