Description
Summary:The Hungarian piano virtuoso Liszt (1811-86) led an illustrious life between Paris, his base as a performer; Weimar, where he was court musical director, composer and champion of new music; and Rome, where he took minor holy orders, entitling him to be called Abbé. Focusing on the end of his life and his last compositions, in particular La Lugubre Gondola, this film shows that he was not just one of the last great Romantics, but that his final compositions range harmonically far into the future.
