Liszt young and old

The title of this concert of early and late Liszt songs and piano works could also be “Liszt the innovator” or “Liszt the experimenter”. He reworked and polished his compositions over and over again, ensuring a great deal of work for musicologists studying his oeuvre. It is a rare concert experience to be able to compare different versions. The programme selected by Bernadett Wiedemann and Emese Virág also draws attention to Liszt the song composer who reinterpreted the song genre and pointed the way towards Mahler.
