  • This transcription, probably better described as a free re-creation, of the Marche funèbre from Donizetti's Dom Sébastien, was written in 1844 for Liszt's Iberian concert tour and published the next year with a dedication to the Queen of Portugal. The piece is more than double the length of Donizetti's-the result of extensive sequential repetition and variation of the original material (the main march melody is repeated in various keys with ever-increasing volume before returning back to C, and the melody sung to "Si quillate a lutto, o trombe" by the basses of the choir is imitated contrapuntally in an excursus of greater complexity than the original). The luxuriously thick textures may not be Liszt at his most subtle, but they form an exciting experience when given a performance as full-blooded as Wolfram's.

    Liszt was always obsessed with death, of course he transcribed and composed many funeral marches xD Thank you so much for uploading this rare piece Andrei :)

      True, probably this was composed when his betrothal was thwarted as then he was in a very sad mood, he even tried suicide attempts...

      This was composed when liszt went in Portugal. Don Sebastian was a notable king of Portugal. This transcription was played by Liszt to the Queen Maria II and the King Fernando II

    All of these transcriptions and reminiscences are such an amazing addition to the massive body of Liszt recordings! As someone who has been listening to Liszt's music for a long time, these recordings add a whole new dimension! Thanks so very much.

    Particularly interesting the introduction that prepares the entry of march quite smoothly and elegantly without being excessively hard to play.
    The augmentation of main theme alternated with the counterpoint of the choir theme are seemlessly integrated
    All in all a very well crafted piece, perhaps - agree with your comment - put together more with mastery than real inspiration, but worth to be listened
