About

Franz Liszt’s sacred opera is definitely his most important religious work. MDG presents this extensive and multifaceted work in a major new recording on 3 SACDs with the Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn under the conductor Roman Kofman, the Czech Philharmonic Chorus of Brno, and four renowned soloists; Fanziska Hirzel, Birgit Remmert, Donald Kaasch and Ralf Lukas.
The score calls for a large orchestra as well as four soloists, chorus, organ and bells. The special requirements of this composition - Liszt wanted the Easter hymn to be sung by an invisible women’s choir to the accompaniment of the harmonium alone - are of course optimally conveyed in the SACD multi-channel playback.
