Liszt: Friend or Rival?

A Conversational Concert with Karl Lutchmayer. Even in his own lifetime both friends and critics debated the apparent dualities of Liszt's work – artist or showman, saint or sinner, prophet or charlatan, friends or rival – and two hundred years after his birth arguments still continue. Pianist and professor of music Karl Lutchmayer invites you to join the debate, as he plays and talks through the arguments. 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. Includes works by Liszt, Berlioz, Verdi and others.
