Liszt: Borrowed themes: Vandal, Curator or Thief?

In the return of his Conversational Concerts series the pianist and music professor Karl Lutchmayer explains and then plays Schubert arr Liszt Grosse Fantasie ('Wanderer'); Liszt's 'Après Une Lecture de Dante'; Wagner arrLiszt 'Liebestod'; Mozartarr Liszt'sFantasia on Two Themes from Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro'. (Even in his own lifetime both friends and critics debated the apparent dualities of Liszt's life and work - artist or showman, saint or sinner, prophet or charlatan, friend or rival – and 200 years after his birth the arguments still continue. Conversational Concerts invites you to join the debate, as Karl Lutchmayer plays and talks us through the arguments in an exciting series of three events. Mixing the well-known with a generous helping of Lisztian rarities almost never heard in concert, this promises to be a fascinating journey of discovery.)
