Franz Liszt: The Weimar Years; 1848-1861
  DETAILS
The second volume in Alan Walkers magisterial biography of Franz Liszt.You cant help but keep turning the pages; wondering how it will all turn out: and Walkers accumulated readings of Liszts music have to be taken seriously indeed. D. Kern Holoman; New York Review of BooksA conscientious scholar passionate about his subject. Mr. Walker makes the man and his age come to life. These three volumes will be the definitive work to which all subsequent Liszt biographies will aspire. Harold C. Schonberg; Wall Street JournalWhat distinguishes Walker from Liszts dozens of earlier biographers is that he is equally strong on the music and the life. A formidable musicologist with a lively polemical ; he discusses the composers works with greater understanding and clarity than any previous biographer. And whereas many have recycled the same erroneous; often damaging information; Walker has relied on his own prodigious; globe-trotting research; a project spanning twenty-five years. The result is a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival. Elliot Ravetz; TimeThe prose is so lively that the reader is often swept along by the narrative. . . . This three-part work . . . is now the definitive work on Liszt in English and belongs in all music collections.
