A personal note from Charlotte
In this program, each piece is intricately connected and seamlessly linked to the next, making the whole album a journey. Liszt is portrayed here as a composer of transformation, from his spiritual late work to heartfelt lieder transcriptions, to storied Concert Etudes and virtuosically brilliant Spanish Rhapsody. This is a journey of metamorphosis of the soul and heart.
