Piano Recital: Víšek, Tomáš - LISZT, F. / DVOŘÁK, A. / SMETANA, B. (Franz Liszt and Czech Music)
During his first visit to Prague in 1840, Franz Liszt, the musical genius and titan of the piano, heard and remembered Josef Theodor Krov’s melody Tešme se blahou nadejí, which was subsequently misinterpreted as an old Hussite song. Inspired by this melody, Liszt wrote the Hussiten-Lied. Another composition by Liszt on this album, Slavimo slavno slaveni! is also inspired by Czech/Slavic culture. Naturally, Liszt’s influence extended to Czech musicians, prompting the inclusion of compositions by several Czech composers on this album.
