Starring: Elizabeth Handley
Franz Liszt - known to Hungarians as Liszt Ferencz - was one of the most extraordinary musicians the Western European world has ever produced.
Known first and foremost as a phenomenal pianist, he was also a pioneer conductor, a much sought-after teacher, and one of the most innovative composers of the 19thC Romantic Era.
He also had incredible charisma! Imagine! A flamboyant Hungarian pianist with a mane of dark hair and dashing good looks, performing music such as the concerto we have just heard.
With behaviour like that of a rock star today, he left a trail of broken hearts and steamy scandal wherever he went.
