Liszt: Harmonium works, Vol. 2 (Lars David Kellner)

Franz Liszt‘s complete works for harmonium solo

That the harmonium was not just an instrumental fringe phenomenon or an exotic stylistic device for Franz Liszt is proven by his numerous works expressly (exclusively or alternatively) scored with harmonium. As is well known, he owned several such instruments himself and certainly contributed to their tonal and technical development, as is also and especially true for the piano and the orchestra.

The second album presented here by Lars David Kellner aims to bring Liszt's unjustly sidelined harmonium works back to light and remind us of their special place in the composer's oeuvre. This album includes several solo works by Franz Liszt, recorded for the first time with a suction wind harmonium.

Recording: Evangelische Kapelle Haar, Mannborg Stil 46.
