As always with Howard Shelley. Will look into both the symphony and the concerto! Thanks

How does Apple Music (Classical) run on Android? Is it smooth as a native Android app?

For those who see Liszt merely as a #virtuoso, Die Ideale offers another perspective: the composer-philosopher, unafraid to push boundaries and explore deep ideas. This masterpiece is a testament to his creativity and a reminder of the depth we often overlook in his œuvre.

Many reduce analysis of Liszt's works to simply counting notes. Imagine doing the same for #Tchaikovsky, #Mozart, #Prokofiev or #Ligeti — just noting "too many notes." The amateur nature of such criticism would be clear. With Liszt, we miss his profound depths when reduced to surface-level analysis.

Liszt is, of course, no unknown name. Yet in a way, he still is. Only a portion of his vast, always innovative œuvre is often performed. Mostly, it's works that fall short of his true brilliance. Boundless virtuosity resonates more with many than his deep philosophical exploration.

Die Ideale embodies Liszt’s characteristic urge to innovate, redefining musical form with evolving themes that reflect human aspirations. Inspired by #Schiller’s poetry, each motif transforms to depict struggle and triumph, challenging listeners to strive for higher ideals.

I miss Adolf von Henselt. Hummel -> Henselt -> Zverev -> Rachmaninov & Siloti. Friendship line between Henselt and Clara Schumann

The Prison blends lush harmonies with introspection. Perfect for fans of late Romantic drama! Once neglected, The Prison gained attention with a stunning 2020 recording by the BBC Symphony Orchestra (Chandos).

Based on Henry Bennet Brewster’s The Prison: A Dialogue, Smyth’s oratorio divides into Close on Freedom and The Deliverance. The baritone represents the Prisoner; the soprano, his Soul, guiding him to transcendence. A philosophical masterpiece!
