Mariam Batsashvili - Legendary Liszt - World Pianists

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Sarabande und Chaconne aus dem Singspiel Almira von Handel, S. 181

Mariam Batsashvili

Liszt not only wrote his own music, he also liked to adapt pieces by other composers. The special thing about these pieces is that you can hear what Liszt himself appealed to in that music. Listen Handel through Liszt's ears!

III. Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude

Liszt was a deeply religious man. You hear a lot of that in his compositions. The best-known example of this is his cycle of ten piano pieces 'Harmonies poétiques et religieuses'. They are inspired by poems by the French writer Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869). The third in the series, 'Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude', is one of Liszt's most beautiful and most frequently performed compositions.

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Années de pèlerinage, deuxième année (supplement), S. 162 "Venezia e Napoli"

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Loreley, S. 532

Mariam Batsashvili

Special places in the landscape are often a breeding ground for stories and legends. So did the Loreley. This is a 132 meter high rock that marks the point where the river Rhine makes a sharp bend. Due to the strong currents, ships regularly collapsed. But in popular belief it was precisely a singing nymph that distracted the skippers, causing them to sink into the dangerous rapids. This story Liszt tells in 'Loreley'.

Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Hongaarse rapsodie nr. 2, S. 244

Mariam Batsashvili

When Liszt visited a gypsy camp for the first time in 1840, he was immediately touched by the music made there. It inspired Liszt to create no less than nineteen Hungarian Rhapsodies, the second of which is the best known

"She made every passage into something special", wrote NRC Handelsblad enthusiastically about pianist Mariam Batsashvili.
