Overview

Franz Liszt’s Die Legende von der Heiligen Elisabeth (The Legend of Saint Elizabeth) is a grand oratorio dedicated to the life and miracles of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. This masterpiece, composed in two parts, captures the dramatic and spiritual essence of Elizabeth's journey from royalty to sainthood.

Conducted by the legendary János Ferencsik, this recording brings together the rich tones of the Slovak Philharmonic's concert hall in Bratislava and features an exceptional ensemble of soloists and choir. The album is enhanced by the thoughtful presentation, including historical artwork from the 15th-century high altar of St. Elizabeth Church in Košice, featured on the booklet cover.

This performance is a fine example of Liszt’s late Romantic style, showcasing his ability to blend orchestral and choral forces into a deeply moving narrative. The recording is an essential addition to the collection of any classical music aficionado or admirer of Liszt's sacred works.
