It is often said that the life of Franz Liszt is like a novel. A virtuoso adored by the whole of Europe, inventor of the recital, a ladies’ man with a string of conquests to his name, and a sincere believer, Franz Liszt was the most visionary composer of his time. However, at the age of 35, at the height of his glory, he surprised the world with a decision that turned his life upside down...
It is with childish wonder that Pascal Amoyel introduces us to "his" Franz Liszt, then aged 7, in a small town in Hungary... The audience shares his journey in a uniquely structured show combining music, theatre and... magic!
A musical encounter of rare intensity.
Musical programme:
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, extracts from Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Schoenberg and Oscar Peterson.
