with Christian Thielemann

Hans Pfitzner created large-scale, sophisticated operas and also composed opulent orchestral works. In addition to concertos for violin and cello, he wrote a four-movement piano concerto in 1922 that continued the late Romantic tradition of Johannes Brahms and Max Reger.



Franz Liszt, on the other hand, was a noticeably innovative spirit, even a musical visionary, who opened a new chapter in European music history with his symphonic poems around the middle of the 19th century.


Three of these works for a large, richly colored orchestra—each very different in content and form—testify to the diversity of creative approaches Liszt applied to this newly emerging and soon extremely prominent musical genre.
