Liszt: Années de Pèlerinage (Volume 2)

The long journey that has led me to the recording of Années de Pèlerinage, one of Liszt’s longest cycles for piano solo began many years ago, in the early stages of my piano studies. At that time, while casually tuned in to what is now known as “Radio Clásica”, I happened to stumble upon one of the Hungarian composer’s most important works—the Faust Symphony. Captivated by this music and unaware of the author’s identity (not yet having the training necessary to identify him), I not only listened to the entire work but also made a pledge to dedicate my life to this composer, regardless of who it might be. Many of the impulses and interests of our teenage years frequently fade away, but this was not the case with my new-found passion for Liszt, which has steadfastly grown over time, along with my knowledge of his life and works.
