Overview
Liszt: Dante Symphony, performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra under the baton of György Lehel, is a monumental interpretation of Franz Liszt's deeply evocative symphonic poem. This 1978 Hungaroton release captures the sweeping drama and profound spiritual exploration of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, as translated into music by Liszt. Featuring Veronika Kincses’ transcendent soprano vocals and the Magyar Rádió És Televízió Női Kara, this album brilliantly conveys the torment of Inferno and the hopeful ascension through Purgatorio, culminating in the ethereal Magnificat. A treasure for collectors and classical music aficionados, this LP is a testament to the Romantic era's grandiose artistry.
