First Pianomatinee with Lev Vinocour
Franz Liszt wrote his 'Deux Légendes' in between 1863 and 1865, and they were first published in 1866. At the time of writing, Liszt was greatly fascinated by all things religious, and, partly because of the sudden death of his daughter Blandine in september 1862, was going through a personal crisis.
The second Légende is the more famous of the two, in which the saint, depicted by a noble chorale‐like theme, rides upon mighty rolling waves of left‐hand passagework, and finally emerges from the central storm in blazing triumph.
