Liszt liked to introduce himself as « half Franciscan, half Gypsy»,
allowing sensual pleasures to mingle with a profound mystical feeling.
With Poetic and Religious Harmonies, inspired by a
volume of poetry by Lamartine, the title seems to encapsulate the
composer’s passions: literature and spirituality.
In this work, Liszt, the greatest virtuoso of his time and the
inventor of the recital, enhances all expressive and technical
possibilities of the piano, elevating his favourite instrument to the
rank of the ambassador of romanticism.
