Franz Liszt: Années De Pèlerinage - Troisième Année: Piano: Instrumental Album

Années de Pèlerinage Troisième Année-In 1883 the third volume of Années de Pèlerinage was published. Whereas the pieces in Volumes I and II were recollections of early travels in Switzerland and Italy the new works composed between 1867 and1877 were more of a religious pilgrimage. Some parts already reflect Liszt s austere later compositional style. With the visionary Jeux d eaux la Villa d Este on the other hand he almost enters the world ofImpressionist sounds (it inspired Ravel to write his Jeux d eau). The Bible quotation about the water of life contained in a footnote leaves no doubt as to the spiritual dimension of the piece (also available in a separateedition HN 983).
