He was born in Doborján, Sopron County, Hungary. His father, Ádám Liszt, clerk to Duke Esterházy, recognized his son's exceptional musical talent early on and seized every opportunity to develop it. At the age of nine, Liszt was already playing the piano in public in Sopron and Bratislava, and soon, with the support of art patrons, he was able to continue his studies in Vienna as a student of Czerny and Salieri. He presented himself in Vienna on December 1, 1822
In 1920/1921, a strip of Hungarian territory was transferred to Austria and Doborján was renamed to Raiding, in the district of Oberpullendorf. Around that period, the strip of transferred land became known as Burgenland.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer during the 1800s. He is said to have been the most technically advanced and perhaps greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some twentieth-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

The ModicaLiszt
What an amazing work in Liszt’s later years I assume. Phenomenally ahead of its time!
Mauricio Gómez
Yay one of my favorite late Liszt pieces. Also check out the Catherine Van Loo interpretation, I find the slightly slower tempo quite enjoyable and the dynamics spot on.

So glad you are featuring a performance from Andrea Bonatta's CD of "late Liszt." His version of the complete HARMONIES POETIQUES ET RELIGIEUSES, played on the same piano (the only recording on a period instrument) is very much worth checking out: it's posted complete here on YouTube, as is a comparatively recent video in which the pianist gives an illuminating illustrated talk on the first part of the cycle. Not only a pioneer, but an artist of substance. (I also love his version of the 6 CONSOLATIONS, also posted here.)

Nick D. Bonatta is probably my favorite living Liszt interpreter (Another favorite being Roberto Plano). He has such sensitivity, imagination, and care for Liszt’s music. Also recommend watching his masterclasses as well. Hope that the folks at the Liszt Competition record/release a part 2 to his HP&R lecture.

If I were Naxos, I think I would commission Goran Filipec to play some of the Spanish pieces like El Contrabadista and Grand Concert Fantasy on a Spanish theme because he has already done full justice to some truly outrageous pieces like the original Paganini studies. What would be your choice for the next Naxos/Liszt album?

2nd Annes de pelegrinaje by Boris Giltburg would be great
