Lytle Memorial Concert: Liszt-O-Mania

World-renowned pianist Cecil Lytle performs works by Franz Liszt, in honor of the Hungarian composers bicentenary in 2011. The program features several pieces that highlight Liszts tendency, towards the end of his life, to write music he felt was atonal, including the Bagatelle sans Tonalité. Lytle also performs the first book of Liszts epic travel sketches, Annee de Pelerinage, and concludes with Liszts finger-twisting tour de force, Grand Galop Chromatique. The Lytle Memorial Concerts provide scholarships for graduates of the Preuss School at UC San Diego. Series: Rebecca Lytle Memorial Concerts [4/2010] [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 18002]

I would have wanted to be a pianist. But it's an instrument for the rich. With this video, I appreciate a lot the rendition of the pianist.

I have to admit, of all the possible words to be followed by "-o-mania", Liszt wasn't the one I most expected. Still, I'm a fan of Liszt, and this was a pleasant surprise in my Subscriptions box.
