This is a valuable major Liszt work from his first book of "Years of Pilgrimage". It's quite thoughtful and introverted music, dealing with psychological matter from pioneer romantic figure Senancour's novel Obermann about a young man goes out in nature to seek answers to life's hard questions. But over the span of this 14 mins long musical essay, you also see the amazing view from the mountain tops, full of hope and glory. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/dDiJJZZKxnk

Damien Sneed is an award-winning musician, conductor, composer and arts educator who works across classical, jazz, R&B and other genres. When he was five years old, Sneed’s parents told him he was adopted. He walks us through the story of how, through a series of dreams and coincidences, he eventually reunited with his biological family and learned to accept the complexity of life and music alike. In this episode, Sneed reflects on how playing Liszt’s Étude No 3, “Un Sospiro,” for both his biological and adoptive mothers allowed him to finally loosen his grip around ideas of adoption, rejection and acceptance.This performance of Franz Liszt’s “Concert Etude no. 2” is by André Watts from his EMI record, “André Watts plays Liszt - Album 2”. The performance of “The Will of God” is by Karen Clarke Sheard and Kierra Sheard from the Island Black Music record “Finally Karen”.
The effect of the ever-changing seasons has been a perpetual inspiration for composers since Ancient Greece’s Delphic hymns and before, down to the present day, arguably finding its richest expression, as Robert Matthew-Walker’s erudite booklet notes argue, in the generations who alternatively espoused Romanticism and Impressionism.Tracks Christian Sinding: Rustle of Spring, Op. 32 No. 3 (2:56) Franz Liszt: Au lac de Wallenstadt (Années de pèlerinage) (3:31) Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Song of the Lark (The Seasons, Op. 37a) (2:23) Béla Bartók: From the Diary of a Fly (Mikrokosmos) (1:29) Claude Debussy: Jardins sous la Pluie (Estampes) (3:46) Liszt: Au bord d’une source (Années de pèlerinage) (4:06) Liszt: Orage (Années de pèlerinage) (4:31) Bartók: The Night’s Music (Out of Doors) (5:18) Debussy: Clair de Lune (Suite Bergamasque) (5:06) Camille Saint-Saëns: The Swan, arr.
