Gray Clouds: Late Chamber Music of Franz Liszt

Cellist Tamás Zétényi presents a program developed in a year-long residency as visiting Hungarian fellow at Bard College, through research in the Library's Liszt collections. Harmonically visionary transcriptions and chamber works -- elegies, prayers and meditations -- that stretch the boundaries of tonality and foreshadow music written a century later. With Sabrina Tabby, Scott Moore, violin / Dávid Tóth, viola / Anna Bikales, harp / Zsolt Balogh, piano. LISZT: transcriptions of Angelus!, R.W. - Venezia for piano trio; and Am Grabe Richard Wagners for string quartet; and, for cello and piano, Unstern: sinister, disastro; Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth (Elegie); Nuages gris; Schaflos, Frage und Antwort; Wagner/Liszt, La lugubre gondola I and II; and O du, mein holder Abendstern. Presented in cooperation with the Bard College Conservatory. For more information, visit http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feat...
