Liszt: Dante-Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Slowakischer Philharmonischer Chor ∙ Peter Eötvös

[@salmonidae3667]

Rest in peace Maestro Eotvos... A great modern composer and conductor!

[@marmelinho3405]

I cannot imagine music more appropriate than this for 'leave all hope behind all who enter here'. Liszt is genius combining story-telling, mood setting in a work symphonic in scale and structure and yet at times operatic and at times like any of his poems. It is one of the most impressionable works in the romantic repertoire

Magnificent..... Now I found my favourite composer (and conductor and musicians)

[@mateuszzielonka9007]

One of my favorite symphonies of all time especially the opening, so spooky and dramatic it could easily be put in any horror film!

[@leesean1794]

unbelievably magnificent and chord-touching piece, as LISZT always does. He is such impressive and incredible, hard to express in a few words.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

This is the first time I am hearing Liszt’s Dante symphony, and can I just say… from the opening measures I am enthralled. It is his grandiose orchestration and his clever modulations that bring my mind to Tchaikovsky; although Tchaikovsky didn’t like Liszt very much, especially this specific work, I can hear very much of this in, say, his Hamlet overture, whether he was influenced by him directly or not. This is a beautiful work… so chilling and powerful!!!

[@guii8993]

I've always smirked reading about the disliking from Tchaikovsky onto Liszt, i don't take it seriously lol because there is much of the Lisztian style in his oeuvre, the chromatism, thematic management and even some of the atmosphere just speaks for itself. There is a anecdote that says that Tchaikovsky sung a theme of Liszt 1st concerto while walking with a friend, i just don't remember who it was (also Tchaikovsky didn't liked that Liszt "forced himself" to like any kind of music lol; i imagine a young Tchaikovsky looking at Liszt while trying to understand him, and getting internally frustrated because he just couldn't.)

[@simonkawasaki4229]

@@guii8993 You make excellent points. The motivic treatment in works like The Sleeping Beauty could not be done if not for Liszt and Wagner.

[@richdisilvio4591]

In this regard, Tchaikovsky was either baffled by Liszt or was disingenuous about his remarks, because not only is the majority of his music influenced by Liszt, but his Hamlet tone poem directly quotes Liszt's Hamlet, and he treated Francesca da Remini as did Liszt, and his piano concerto is blatantly Lisztianesque in Romantic bravura, among many of his other works, regardless of his saying that he loved Mozart above all others. Liszt's influence was paramount to Tchaikovsky's very soul & voice.

[@setthavatkrairiksh]

This was Tchaikovsky's review: "Liszt's symphonic fantasy to Dante's Inferno, which was the most interesting work on the programme in terms of novelty and its subject [9], turned out not to belong to the renowned pianist and composer's finest works. In the first movement, which illustrates all the horrors of hell, there is a lot of imagination, a lot of sombre colouring in accordance with the subject, and it is also abundant in loud and powerful external effects, but it all betrays a lack of inventiveness, of novelty in the principal motifs and organic cohesion in the way these are combined together. The central episode of this movement, which depicts the tormented love of Francesca and Paolo, is not devoid of warmth and passion, but it is far too much like the many other similar episodes in Liszt's works, especially the middle section of his Waltz to Lenau's Faust [10]. As for the second movement, which presents listeners with a tone-painting of the Catholic purgatory, it must be said that, in spite of the felicitously devised effect of a female chorus suddenly resounding in the middle of a symphonic work, it is poor in content, long-winded, and terribly boring." (T 305, 1875) Here's the link: en.tchaikovsky-research.net/pages/The_Third_Week_of_the_Concert_Season

[@larbaud]

I didn't know this symphony. I used to think of Liszt as a minor composer, way below his friends Chopin and Wagner. This symphony has changed completely my mind. It's certainly a peak in the history of music.

[@richdisilvio4591]

@larbaud Without doubt, Liszt was monumental in his era and as an influence upon future composers. Check out the KZbin video -- FRANZ LISZT: Enigmatic Genius

[@nickmaestro]

Well, Chopin is definitely more popular and accessible to the general public. Liszt, in my opinion, is far superior than Chopin. Everything Chopin did for piano, Liszt did. Now when it came to orchestral music, Liszt blows Chopin out the water it's not even close. Not saying Chopin is a bad composer. Listen to the second movement "Gretchen" from Liszt's Faust Symphony. Just the first 3 minutes is enough.

[@VinceRicafort-xo9lu]

Well Liszt was also the father in law of Wagner, and also exchanged music together at some time. Wagner was definitely inspired by Liszt and also implemented some of Liszt's genius ideas into his orchestral works..

It was originally to have a 3rd Movement Paradiso but Wagner said it was impossible to write such a movement so Liszt just did a abbreviated end

[@AlexanderVerney-Elliott-ep7dw]

@@SexuallyRepressedMegalodon Thank you for your response. It is at the closing of the first movement of the Liszt Dante Symphony at 22.30 to 22.40 - which is similar o the sound in Francis Bacon's dark-ovid-disk paint punctuations found in his early the 1960s paintings; Bacon is an aural painter rather than a visual painter; just like Martin Heidegger is a composer of visual sounds and not a thinker or a writer of words at all; they all totally misunderstand Heidegger who was an orchestral compose of sound-scape sensations and not a thinker at all; for Heidegger was not a 'thinker' but a poet of sounds in images like Bacon. Bacon and Heidegger were steadfastly against 'meaning' and 'story-telling' and 'representation' and 'interpretation' and so were only concerned with speechless voiceless (silent) primordial being and absolutely alien to the myth of 'the human condition' of nebulous opaque The They that have no Dasein. Bacon and Heidegger were necessarily anti-intellectual and non-intellectual which academics simply cannot cope with. For us today, Dasein is something past. Only art and music can save us now.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

This isn't one of my favorite Liszt works, but I'm somehow drawn to return to it once in a while, and this performance is quite enjoyable. The greatness of the music I believe lies mainly in the 'Purgatorio', which can be quite moving, as it is here. The 'Inferno' is effective also, but I can lose some patience with it; it does have the ability to inspire lack of concentration.

It needs more thunder, more INFERNO.. Too tame. It should really blaze and take off. Extremely hard to do. All the musicians have to be in their toes. It needs a Toscanini or a Stokowski to pull it off.

Eötvös does a 'fairly good' job, but many moments are way too slow, which kills the momentum and hellfire in the Inferno and the beauty of the sonic line in the tender moments.
