CONCERT – LISZT
Three recitals in one day !
The brilliant French pianist Bertrand Chamayou returns to Liszt, for a remarkable marathon encompassing the complete Années de pélerinage. These three collections are like a travel journal, though Switzerland then Italy – at first an amorous journey (in the company of countess Marie d’Agoult) then a mystic one when, a few years later, Liszt added religiously inspired pieces. Taking inspiration from Petrarch, Schiller, Byron and Dante, the composer imbues these pages with all his virtuosity, to convey romantic lyricism and the poetic qualities of the places visited.
