Triptych of psychological portraits
When Franz Liszt took over the court orchestra in Weimar in 1848, the memory of Goethe, who had previously directed the court theatre, was still venerated. Liszt was therefore Goethe's direct heir at Weimar - albeit as a musician. With his Faust Symphony, which was premiered on the same day as the inauguration of the Goethe and Schiller monument in front of the theatre, psychology made its way into music; Liszt's ambition was the "renewal of music through its more intimate connection with poetry". His Faust Symphony demonstrates the power of sound, of tone painting, to evoke a fantastical, epic and psychological world.
Each movement corresponds to a character whose traits and psychology it depicts. This is programme music, but it does not tell a story and is certainly not descriptive music. Liszt characterised musically the profound nature of each character, offering a subtle and analytical interpretation of the story of Faust as told by Goethe. The three character pictures are psychological tableaux set to music. Liszt does not simply tell the story of the characters or describe their feelings: he evokes their psyches.
Kirill Karabits conducts the Staatskapelle Weimar in this repertoire which is especially close to the ensemble.

I am so much happy that Weimar is still keeping Liszt and his music as something special... I am always so angry and sad when I am looking at the programs of various orchestras and for now I didn't see any orchestral Liszt. It's sad. And that's why is my dream to get to Weimar.
Dass man in Weimar viel Liszt spielt muss ja auch so sein. Schließlich war das sein Orchester, für das er den Großteil seiner Orchestermusik geschrieben hat.
Aber schon interessant wie wenig Folgen das für eine breite Rezeption seiner Werke hatte. Es ist immer wieder spannend zu sehen wie sich neue Werke z.B. in Wien im Repertoire veranktert haben.
Man kann das Anhand des Konzertarchivs der Philharmoniker sehr gut nachvollziehen. Liszt's Orchestermusik hat dort, bis auf ganz wenige Ausnahmen, nie einen Platz gehabt, während sich z.B. Schumann nur 10 Jahre nach seinem Tod bereits fest etabliert hatte.
Liszt ist zwischen Berlioz und Wagner....ideal fur mich!
