Home town prepares for Franz Liszt anniversary

English

 

The events will be arranged around the themes of the four seasons in four segments next year.

   
The programmes will be running under the name "Lisztomania 2011", a term taken from German Romantic poet and essayist Heinrich Heine, who used it to describe the massive public applause to Liszt's virtuoso piano concerts in 1841-42 in Berlin.
   
Liszt's piano works will be recited by acclaimed Liszt performers, including Daniel Barenboim, Ivo Pogorelich, Boris Bloch and Elisabeth Leonskaja.
   
Most concerts will be held in the 600-seat Franz Liszt Concert Hall near the composer's birth house.
