Beautifully played and the music helps.

This piece is really impressing. Lugubre Gondola makes me think of Charon's bark in the underworld in the Greek mythology, gives me the impression of being in this boat in a fog, bringing me to the world of death. I think of Lugubre Gondola as another version of "Isle of the Dead" from Rachmaninov. Those pieces are really well connected.

@papanoche According to the artist link, it's Arnaldo Cohen.

@scriabinwasmydadTOO It starts with the same spread-out augmented chord as in Scriabin's Opus 42 no.5.

Very dark, morbid, and a depressing piece. I love it. :D

Is this Daniel Barenboim??? Or who is performing this piece????

The piece has nothing to do with Wagner. Liszt was inspired by the funeral gondolas and nothing more. All the things you hear about it being a premonition of Wagner's death aren't true. There are a lot of romanticized and made up stories about Liszt.
