Grete PedersenAbout
With acclaimed vocal ensemble the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, Andsnes has recorded Liszt’s remarkable late work Via Crucis (‘The Way of the Cross’) for choir and piano. The pianist completes his all-Liszt album with the solo piano work Consolations and two movements from the composer’s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses.
Reviews
Via Crucis is traditionally catalogued as a choral work. But although the default edition calls for voices with organ or piano ‘accompaniment’, there’s very little singing, and Liszt offered alternative performance options, some dispensing with the voices entirely. Via Crucis is thus more accurately described as a work for piano or organ with optional vocal interventions. Leif Ove Andsnes grasps this fully, refusing to minimise his role. No other pianist (or organist) has taken on this repertoire with such depth and understanding. ... All in all, a new benchmark for Via Crucis. Peter J Rabinowitz
