Editorial Reviews
The cycle of ten pieces known as Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses was dedicated in 1853 to Liszt’s second companion, Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein. These pieces are based on poems by his friend, Alphonse de Lamartine, and the medieval chant of the Catholic Church.
These mystical pieces are not the typical virtuoso piano compositions that one thinks of as music by Liszt. They are song-like; it’s as if Liszt is forcing the piano to sing. Playing these pieces conjures up images of Liszt, playing the piano in his study late at night, meditating and praying to his God. Liszt eventually took minor orders into the priesthood where he remained for the remainder of his life.
David Barela, Pianist

CRAZY FOR COMPOSERS,

This review is from: Liszt / Harmonies Poetiques Et Religieuses (MP3 Download)
I was looking for Liszt's Harmonies Poetiques because I like all his piano compositions and wanted to add these songs to my collection. I have listened to 3 different people play these "Harmonies" and I have to say that I defininitely like the way David Barela plays them the best. He plays them at just the right speed, which is very important. I have another CD of Harmonies, but the pianist plays too fast and I won't listen to it anymore. Even though this CD does not have the Benediction on it.....it is a great CD and I would highly recommend it.
