MacPhail VIRTUAL SERIES: Franz Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage featuring Richard Tostenson (piano)

Frans Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage are a collection of pieces for solo piano that are intimately autobiographical.
The pieces document the composer’s travels across Europe alongside his significant other, Countess Marie D’Agoult, married then to Count D’Agoult. The two lovers were escaping the Parisian art scene with its propensity for scandalous gossip. After separating from her husband in 1835, the Countess moved to Geneva, Switzerland, joining Liszt, who had a teaching position at the newly founded Geneva Conservatory. Subsequently, the two started to travel throughout Switzerland and Italy alongside their children. The Années de pèlerinage is the unique result of this journey, marked by daring harmonic innovation, novel textures, and an unceasing quest for expressing impressions and emotions in music.
