One of the great symphonies! The Dante Symphony is also superb. I wish these works were better known, and particularly played more often in concert halls. Liszt must be considered one of the most important composers of the 19th century- and what broad influence he had. thank you for posting this work.
In the 20th century composers had the idea that music should have no key, can't remember why exactly they thought this. This was called 12 tone atonalism. For a piece to have no key, all the notes must be played the exact same amount of times so that no tonic, 5th, major/minor thirds can be established. The first line in this piece of music has all 12 notes without repeating each other.
+Matt Jones, This piece was finished in 1857, halfway through the Romantic era, and Liszt actually began sketching the opening of the piece as early as the 1840's. 12-tone and atonality were not even a thing yet during that time. While the beginning of this piece does sound atonal, the first 22 measures are actually just a series of augmented triads. Undoubtedly very progressive for the time, but still not entirely atonal. Liszt experimented further with atonality in his late period, check out his Bagatelle sans tonalité.
@@caseythomas328 And also another late work, Via Crucis, especially in one of the three superb recordings by the conductor/pianist Reinbert de Leeuw; two are of the version for singers & piano (Netherlands Chamber Choir [1984] and Collegium Vocale Gent [2019]) and one the piano-only version. Then check out de Leeuw's 35' talk about the piece here on RUclips (Dutch with English subtitles), where he illuminates how Liszt really pushed the boundaries of tonality in this great work. Thank you.
And any true musician can appreciate the mastery of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. LISZT is not the only music revolutionary in history. Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin have inspired so many and changed the sound of rock indefinitely.
For those wondering.. It's the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra.. Conductor: Francesco D'Avalos
TheWickedNorth Thanks for uploading... love your channel :D
Who’s the tenor?

Liszt was a genius worthy of his enduring fame.
Thank you for uploading videos. Please, do continue.
Thank you for posting! especially handsome Chorus Mysticus....
Köszönöm
erzsebet horvath You're very welcome..
Nagyon SZÉP
Better than I thought it would be, quite good.
For those who deny 12 tone atonalism, the main theme uses all 12 notes without repeating any of them....
Can you dumb this down for me?

It's good to have you back TheWickedNorth. What orchestra is playing here? and the conductor?
Thx
Stylus Conducted Solti.
That photo may confirm my suspicions that Jimmy Page is the reincarnation of Franz Liszt.
***** You know how Liszt's health declined in his later years. He had to choose, and quickly.
Hahaha that's fantastic considering LED Zeppelin is my all time favorite band ever period. And that LISZT is one of my favorite composers ever period.
And any true musician can appreciate the mastery of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. LISZT is not the only music revolutionary in history. Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin have inspired so many and changed the sound of rock indefinitely.
b.s.!
You wish.
