About

Liszt’s opera Christus was premiered in 1873 and enjoyed considerable success. It reflects the life of Christ from the nativity to the Passion and Resurrection and Liszt transcribed movements from it for solo piano. Though dynamic and virtuosic it is also richly pastoral and meditative and includes Marches and passages of transfiguring beauty. Liszt transcribed music from another of his oratorios for publication in 1872, The Legend of St Elisabeth, and it contains music of stirring power: plainsong, a hymn, a march, a Hungarian folk-song and a vivid recapitulation of the themes.
