Vocal and instrumental evening, the program of which included the works of the two greatest geniuses of the romantic XIX century.

The innovative music of Wagner and Liszt, their ideas, journalism, their private life attracted everyone’s attention and caused controversy. It is difficult to find who could compete with them in fame, among adherents, fans and followers. They were close friends, once they became relatives (Liszt Cosim’s daughter married Wagner).

Their composer’s heritage has deeply personal, intimate pages. Not so often on the concert stage you can hear philosophical and contemplative plays by Liszt of the late period, his vocal music. The concert will feature songs “Joy and sorrow” to Goethe’s verses and “Sonnet of Petrarch 123”. The vocal cycle of Richard Wagner’s “Five Poems by Matilda Wesendonck” (two of which are designated by the author as etudes for “Tristan and Isolde”) are connected with the story of the composer’s platonic love for the wife of his friend and patron Otto Wesendonck.
