VIA CRUCIS - THE FOURTEEN STATIONS OF THE CROSS
A GEM OF DEVOUT DEVOTION by Franz Liszt

This masterpiece of Expressionism was rejected for publication during Liszt's
lifetime. It was first performed in 1929 in Budapest on Good Friday. It was
first published in 1936. It remains as one of Liszt's lesser known works, an example
of Liszt knowing he was composing for future generations: "throwing his lance far
into the future not knowing where it would land." That lance certainly found a
landing place in the exceptional recording. VIA CRUCIS is performed annually,
the first Sunday in Lent in the Denver Area, sponsored by the Denver Center
Liszt Studies.

Review from MUSIC WEB, United Kingdom states:
"This is a very Welcome Addition to the Liszt Discography"
