MICHAEL KIERAN HARVEY: LISZT’S LANCE INTO THE FUTURE (PROGRAM 1)
Liszt redefined possibilities on the piano with his set of Transcendental Études, however he was a visionary in much more than just finger acrobatics. His affection of the spiritual, his fascination with legends, even his use of silence, all paved the way for such future luminaries as Debussy, Messiaen, Stockhausen and John Cage.
Michael Kieran Harvey and the ANAM pianists weave together an unlikley set of threads across two distinct programs reaching to our days.
