About this listen
As a performer he was one of the first great superstars, dazzling his audiences as much with his flamboyant dress and gestures as with his unprecedented virtuosity. Liszt's approach to music placed him in the vanguard of Romantic innovation. He greatly expanded the range of sonorities available from the piano, inventing both delicate figuration and thundering effects. By addressing dramatic and poetic themes in his compositions, he helped create instead a music that expressed those sublime, ecstatic, harrowing, and heroic feelings that the Romantics held to be the essence of life.
