Wagner & Liszt
1901 Arts Club, SE1 8UE , [Venue Details]In collaboration with the The Wagner Society, Abhinath Berry presents an all-Liszt piano recital featuring three of Liszt’s celebrated Wagner transcriptions.
In these extraordinary works, Liszt captures the scale, colour, and emotional intensity of the operatic stage - from the most intimate moments of Isolde’s Liebestod to the monumental sonorities of the Overture to Tannhäuser. These transcriptions served as a vehicle to promote Wagner’s music without the vast resources required to stage a full opera, with Liszt’s glamour and persona ensuring their success.
The programme also highlights two original works of Liszt. The final Hungarian Rhapsody is among his darkest and most harmonically sophisticated works, while Un sospiro follows the journey of a simple pentatonic contour as it shimmers, blossoms, and yearns.
