Met Jan Hugo (klavier)

Franz Liszt se “Harmonies poétiques et religieuses” is ’n onderskatte meesterstuk. In dié siklus van tien werke word die tegniese vaardigheid wat so prominent is in sy musiek volkome onderwerp aan die diep musikaliteit en mistiek van Alphonse de Lamartine se gedigte. Die klavier word as’t ware ’n digter op soek na dieper betekenis en poësie.

With Jan Hugo (piano)

Liszt’s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses is an underrated masterpiece. In this set of 10 works, the technical skill so often prominent in his music is completely subordinated to the deep musicality and mysticism of Lamartine’s poems. The piano becomes a poet, searching for deep meaning and lyricism.
