  • The Album d'un voyageur consists of three sections; the first, Impressions and Poems, is comprised of seven pieces, five of which were revised and incorporated into the trilogy, Années de Pèlerinage. The first item, "Lyon," is dedicated to the philosopher Lamennais, who led a group of insurgent weavers in nineteenth century Lyon. A heroic march represents the struggle for social justice for the oppressed workers; the music is by turns rousing, violent, and passionate. "Le Lac de Wallenstadt" (The Lake of Wallenstadt) is a tranquil work that depicts the peaceful, bucolic scene of the lake, with the soothing rustling of its waves and its peaceful surroundings. "Au bord d'une source" (Beside a spring) offers a pastoral setting again, however, the tempo is livelier, but still unhurried. "Les cloches de G*****" (why did Liszt wish to conceal the name of Geneva?-at any rate, he revealed it in the revised version) may have less to do with the sound of bells than with the birth of Liszt's daughter Blandine, with its Romantic theme and brilliant writing. "La Valée d'Obermann" (The Valley of Obermann) is a deeper work and was inspired by the character from the 1804 novel of the same name by Etiene Jeane Senancour. Obermann wanders the country disconsolate over his misfortunes and the music depicts his depressed state of mind at the outset, but grows hopeful and promising as the work progresses. The "Chapelle de Guillaume Tell" (The Chapel of William Tell) tells of the famous Swiss hero. A hymn-like melody at the outset grows intense, but the music then turns triumphant and glorious. The exultant mood subsides, but the piece still ends in a positive vein. Finally, the first book comes to a simple conclusion with ‘Psaume-de l’église à Génève’-an elaboration of a melody by Louis Bourgeois (c1510-c1561) prefaced with the opening of Psalm 42: ‘Comme un cerf brame après des eaux courantes …’ (‘As the hart panteth after the water-brooks …’). Like ‘Lyon’, this piece was excluded from the revised collection.
    Track timings:
    (00:05) - Lyon
    (07:30) - Le Lac de Wallenstadt [NOTE: The piece played here, although listed on the album as ‘Le Lac de Wallenstadt’ is actually ‘Au lac de Wallenstadt’ from the revised ‘Années de pèlerinage’ S160 set. Why this was played in the ‘Album d'un voyageur’ S156 set, I do not know, but there is at least very little difference between the two versions. If you'd like to hear the proper S156 version, Howard's Vol.20 of his complete Liszt recordings is recommended.]
    (11:29) - Au bord d'une source
    (15:53) - Les cloches de G(enève)
    (28:22) - Vallée d'Obermann
    (43:20) - La chapelle de Guillaume Tell
    (50:30) - Psaume

    An interesting note on the first piece of this set (Lyon) from Alan Walker's 'Franz Liszt: The Virtuoso Years, 1811-1847':
    "During his stay at La Chênaie, Liszt worked daily at the keyboard, often with Lamennais within earshot. Under these peculiar conditions was born the defiant composition "Lyon", which emerged as a result of conversations the master had with his disciple about the five days' street-fighting in Lyon in April 1834, during which several workmen had been killed. Lamennais had defended some of the accused at their trial, appealing in court on their behalf. Liszt's revolutionary march bears the socialist motto "To live working or to die fighting," and is dedicated "to M. F. de L." This motto had been coined by a worker in the earlier Lyon uprising of 1831, and Liszt's use of it here was delibarately inflammatory. His continuing interest in the plight of the silk-weavers of Lyon is borne out by his eloquent description of their squalid living conditions, based on his visits to that strife-torn city in 1835 and again in 1837 in order to give charity concerts for the poor. Vianna da Motta [pupil of Liszt] has acutely observed that the rousing theme with which Lyon begins is a musical setting of the motto itself ("Vivre en travaillant ou mourir en combattant").
    The march proper gets under way with a battle-song, cut from similar cloth to the Marseillaise, behind which we sense the ominous thread of a thousand feet. The din and clangour of armed conflict are never far distant, and it is not hard to imagine the whine of grapeshot, the muffled roar of cannon, puffs of smoke, and cries of the wounded illuminating this vivid soundscape."

      Felix Li-En, thanks for bringing that recording to my attention. It was interesting to hear the pieces played on an antique piano. Overall, I think Ashley Wass’s playing is more fluid and comfortable but Cyril Huve is a worthy artist too.

    I came across this album last month and fell in love with it. Ashley Wass’ playing is so soft, sensitive and flexible. The Impressions and Poems are a richly rewarding set of pieces; every time I listen to them with the score, I hear a new musical layer or nuance I hadn’t detected before. Liszt really went out of his way to orchestrate the piano here and his use of patterns and musical colors is magical. I like the Valley of the Obermann and Bells of Geneva better in this set because they are an extended version of the revisions in Annees de Pelenirage and thus a fuller more satisfying experience.

    As far as my own tastes (and ability) in playing goes, I much prefer Liszt's later work. But for listening, bring on the virtuosity! I actually quite enjoy these, and is the first time I've heard the ones that didn't make it into the revised collection.

    Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.
