On his latest album 'Liszt - Via Crucis & Solo Piano Works' for Sony Classical, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes unveils the often-forgotten side of the famed virtuoso Franz Liszt - the sacred music that offers a more intimate picture of the man and his deeply held faith.
With acclaimed vocal ensemble the Norwegian Soloists' Choir, Andsnes has recorded Liszt's remarkable late work Via Crucis ('The Way of the Cross') for choir and piano. The pianist completes his all-Liszt album with the solo piano work Consolations and two movements from the composer's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses
"No other pianist (or organist) has taken on this repertoire with such depth and understanding...The chorus - and the soloists in the Stabat mater passages - sing with remarkable purity and focus, even in the more extreme passages...All in all, a new benchmark for Via Crucis." - Gramophone
