Chinese-Dutch pianist Yang Yang Cai presents a programme of Liszt works on La Leggierezza, exploring Liszt's harmonic language and transcendent view of the keyboard.
For Liszt’s biographer Derek Watson: “The music reflects the man in its range from the ascetic to the sumptuous, from the trivial and profane to the sublime and spiritual.” Alfred Brendel, another Liszt-admirer, has remarked: “For Liszt … the piano was an object to be transformed into an orchestra, turned into the elements, lifted into the spheres.” In addition to this keyboard-related revolution, Liszt's harmonic language deeply influenced Wagner, while his pioneering development of the symphonic poem genre also contributed to his far-reaching influence.
