In this outstanding 1986 concert, acclaimed pianist Alfred Brendel presents the first two installments of composer Franz Liszt's "Années de Pèlerinage," a monumental work of the Romantic period that embodies a fusion of nature and art. Penned in the 1830s during Liszt's stay in Switzerland, the pieces represent a revolutionary approach to music for the time, using the concept of piano "texture" in compelling new ways.
