Liszt does Italy - Saskia Giorgini

Saskia Giorgini returns to De Bijloke and brings along: Franz Liszt on the Italian tour – from Petrarch to tarantella Een Italiaanse pianist in the footsteps of Liszt in Italy: it doesn’t get more logical. Saskia Giorgini already stunned in 2023 with work by the emperor of the keyboard. This time she zooms in on his transalpine fascination, which shines through in the Petrarch sonnets from the second book of ‘Années de pèlerinage’. After the break: fioritures and frivolities, with Rossini arrangements, Neapolitan canzones, and Venetian gondola songs. Giorgini concludes with the ‘Fantasia ‘Après une lecture de Dante’’, which proves once and for all that Liszt was a true Italophile.
