Frederick Chopin’s F-minor Concerto is less sprawling and richer in contrast than his E-minor Concerto. This work served Chopin well in his early career. He introduced it publicly in his first Warsaw appearance on March 17, 1830, repeating it five days later at a second, quickly organized concert. It also occupied the place of honor on his Parisian debut program February 26, 1832, winning the appreciation of, among others, the city’s remarkably perceptive critic, François-Joseph Fétis. When Chopin gave the premiere of this piano concerto, in the first public concert of his own music in Warsaw, on March 17, 1830,

The most successful opera composer of the 19th century? A look at Meyerbeer and his operas
[…] Fidès.Meyerbeer's final work for the Paris Opera, L'Africaine had a very long gestation period, Meyerbeer and Scribe had considered it from 1837, but a radical change in the early 1850s introduced Vasco de Gama as the protagonist and changed the name to Vasco de Gama.

Lortie - Liszt, 28 April 2019
[…] Glitter surrounded a line as clear as anything in the first and second books, Liszt both the same and transformed. ‘Sunt lacrymae rerum’ offered further reminiscence, remembrance – whether that of Aeneas or something more personal to Liszt, to us – and incomplete, transformative synthesis. The ‘Marche funèbre’ likewise proved an idea familiar yet rethought, reimagined, reinterpreted, at least bordering on the realm of the ‘omnitonal’ the young Liszt had taken from the theorist, François-Joseph Fétis. But it is with the Eucharistic exhortation, ‘Sursum corda’ that the collection ends. There was darkness to the call, but there was likewise release from that darkness. Lortie relished this final piece in all its strangeness – strange, that is, so long as we listened. It could only have made sense coming as it did at the close; make sense of a sort, though, it did.
