About

This programme of Liszt transcriptions featuring Andrey Ivanov marks the first release in a recording partnership between Naxos and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Copenhagen-born Eduard Lassen spent 40 years in Weimar where he was to succeed Liszt as music director in 1858. Lassen was an accomplished stage composer writing music for Das Nibelungenlied and Goethe’s Faust that enjoyed considerable popularity, and from which Liszt made piano transcriptions, drawing on high points in the dramas. He also wrote music for a play by Spanish poet Calderón, to which Liszt responded by transcribing an extensive Symphonic Intermezzo.
