  • Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886), Sancta Dorothea, S187 (1877)
    Performed by Alexander Djordjevic
    Composed in 1877, Franz Liszt's Sancta Dorothea expresses his religious feelings of humility and near asceticism. Flowing and lyrical, this work begins simply with a rippling triplet figure in the left hand which supports an elegant and songlike melody that pays gentle homage to the saint who inspired this composition. As the harmonies become richer and the chord progressions more complex, the piece evokes a feeling of longing and sacred passion then returns to its original simple form and a mood of quiet, respectful adoration.
    A diminutive work of barely two minutes duration, this is a gem of sacred devotional music and should not be overlooked in Liszt's body of religious compositions.

    Wonderful. What beautiful growth Liszt underwent as he grew older. It would be fun to imagine the young and the old Liszt meeting each other. thanks for the upload.

    Beautifully played. There are so many short pieces by Liszt which are rarely played and which are so far ahead of their time.

      Liszt is so misunderstood. Ignorant people only perceive him as a showman who composes superficial music, but they refuse or they are just not bothered to know more about his passionate and emotional side where his music is so much more layered and beyond showman.

      @@Roice-sq5wj Liszt aways wrote music with extreme quality, people are ignorant so they define him like "the guy who wrote hungarian rhapsody no. 2", sincerely, if one don't know a thing about Liszt, the most important composer of the 19th century, does it even know anything about classical music?

    Thank you for posting this beautiful performance of a beautiful piece. Alexander Djordjevic's "Gray Clouds" (from which this comes) is my favorite CD of Liszt's late music, 16 astonishing works programmed and performed with great sensitivity and power. :)

      Yep! Liszt was not merely a womanizing virtuoso. He also had a deeply meditative, spiritual side.
