Franz Liszt was a unique personality in the musical world of the 19th century. He was a model and inspiration for many generations of musicians and was magnificently successful as a virtuoso pianist, educator, composer and conductor. Presenting a cornucopia of musical delights, this selection of Liszt favourites includes works inspired by folklore and Italian culture, literary texts and poetry, opera, the brilliance of Paganini and a sheer delight in pianistic virtuosity. Goran Filipec joins a long tradition of making arrangements and personal adaptations to find new vitality and freshness in this much-loved music.
