Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt was the first superstar of the concert stage — a piano virtuoso like no other. Hear his dazzling music performed live.
Franz Liszt (1811–1886), the Hungarian pianist and composer, was the most celebrated virtuoso of his age, inspiring a frenzy his contemporaries called "Lisztomania". His Liebestraum No. 3, the fiendish La Campanella and the Hungarian Rhapsodies showcase a breathtaking command of the keyboard, while his symphonic poems pushed music towards the future. Generous and visionary, Liszt all but invented the modern solo recital. Performed live, his music is pure brilliance and Romantic fire.
