WASO: Liszt's Piano Concerto

Franz Liszt was renowned for his ultra-virtuosic works for piano. One of the greatest pianists of our time, Lukáš Vondráček shines in Liszt's Piano Concerto No.1, an innovative masterpiece that is dazzling and daring. Elgar described his Second Symphony as a 'passionate pilgrimage of the soul'. Musically rich and emotionally complex, it encompasses the heights of joy and the depths of despair. WASO Principal Conductor Asher Fisch leads us through this enigmatic yet glorious work. Recorded live in concert by ABC Classic at the Perth Concert Hall on the 7th of September 2024. Producer Gavin Fernie. Engineers Richard Glover and Gavin Fernie. Program. Franz LISZT: Les Préludes (Symphonic Poem No.3) Franz LISZT: Piano Concerto No.1 Edward ELGAR: Symphony No.2 Artists.

The second world war changed Budapest for ever

At one time it almost rivalled Berlin, Paris and Vienna in intellectual heft. Effortlessly, it seemed, Budapest nurtured heavyweights. The city was home to world-renowned musicians (Bela Bartok, Franz Liszt), writers (Arthur Koestler, Karl Polanyi), film-makers (Michael Curtiz, of 'Casablanca' fame, and Alexander Korda) and physicists (John von Neumann, Leo Szilard). Before the second world war Hungary was also a hub of Jewish culture. Budapest was home to one of the biggest Jewish communities in Europe, with about 200,000 people—roughly a quarter of the city's population. The beautiful central synagogue on Dohany Street was, and remains, the largest on the continent.
