Liszt's enormous collection Années de pèlerinage is one of the highlights of nineteenth-century piano music. Liszt wrote the work over a period of more than forty years. In three separate books he gives a musical account of his travels through Switzerland and Italy. The First Book is dedicated to his travels through Switzerland. From the banks of a spring, Liszt takes you further into the breathtaking Obermann Valley. The First Book ends with the sound of the nocturnal bells of the Geneva.

Travel with Franz Liszt to the picturesque Swiss Alps. Liszt recorded his many travel impressions in the impressive series of piano pieces 'Années de pèlerinage' (Pilgrim Years). A better guide in this music than pianist Louis Lortie is hardly conceivable. New Yorker Magazine rated Lortie's CD recording of Liszt's masterpiece as "best recording of 2012". NRC Handelsblad goes even further: "Louis Lortie is a master pianist pur sang in the best romantic tradition"
