Description: This recital covers a broad period - 1842 to 1879 - in which Liszt's trademark harmonic and tonal experimentation are ever present while the differences are evident in the extroverted richness of the earlier songs and the increasing economy, austerity and inwardness of the later ones. The two versions of the first song listed above are a great example. German, French, Italian-English texts. Angelika Kirchschlager (mezzo), Julius Drake (piano)
