Via Crucis is
one of the most
outstanding religious
masterpieces from Liszt-s
late creative period, and
it depicts the story of
the fourteen stations of
Jesus' suffering. The
work was not released
during the composer-s
lifetime due to its
unusual and daring new
sonorities. Based on his
own dating, Liszt
completed the composing
process on February 26,
1879 in Budapest. The
piece was originally
written as fifteen short
movements for solo
vocalists, choir, and
organ or harmonium, and
its text was compiled by
Liszt's partner, Carolyne
von Sayn-Wittgenstein,
using biblical excerpts,
two medieval Latin hymns
and two German Lutheran
chorales.This volume,
edited by Imre Mezo,
contains German, English
and Hungarian prefaces,
as well as critical notes
in English, which reveal
valuable details about
the history of the
work.
