Liszt Piano Concerto No.2

In the primal darkness a trumpet sounds – and seconds later, the whole universe is ablaze with light. Richard Strauss wanted Also sprach Zarathustra to tell the “entire story of humanity”, but if that blockbuster opening is all you know, believe us: things are about to get exciting. It’s an epic climax to a concert that begins with the big-band swagger of Hindemith’s Concert Music, plus a showstopping concerto written by Franz Liszt – one of the greatest pianists who ever lived – and played today by the hugely in-demand Mariam Batsashvili.
