A concert exploring the polar opposites of Liszt's music with reading of letters to show light on his psychology when writing such disparate music. Programme includes popular showpieces such as the Mephisto Waltz and Paganini Study No.6, and also spiritual pieces such as the Legend of St Francis and Les Jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este, and many more little-known gems waiting to be discovered.
