Christus
Album by Franz Liszt & Helmuth Rilling & Gächinger Kantorei Stuttgart & Krakowski Chór Kameralny & Radio‐Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR
Christus is an oratorio by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, completed in 1866. The work employs a late-Romantic, symphonic-choral idiom with expansive choral writing, prominent orchestral forces and organ-like textures, reflecting Liszt's turn in his later career toward large-scale sacred composition that integrates liturgical text with orchestral narrative.
