Franz Liszt: Années De Pèlerinage, Première Année, Suisse
An evening of music and poetry
Part of the 1901 Arts Club 2019-20 Season
Add to my Calendar 30-10-2019 19:30 30-10-2019 21:30 36 Franz Liszt: Années De Pèlerinage, Première Année, Suisse The first part of JAKOB FICHERT's project focussing on the first two volumes of Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage). The title Années de Pèlerinage, Years of Pilgrimage, evokes many associations, and beyond the obvious religious connotation, these works transcend any faith and radiate a sense of a more radical inner journey. The creation of Liszt’s Years of Pilgrimage span across almost his whole adult life, and range from the youthful virtuoso to his late experimental style. Here, Fichert and Frankland respond to Liszt’s music and words, with a playful but faithful interpretation of the piece for contemporary audience. One thing is for sure, it speaks to much more urgent issues than simply being a homage to the Swiss Alps! 1901 Arts Club, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
