Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt: two artists temperamentally distant, yet united by a common striving for the absolute. Schubert, in his Sonata in C minor, D. 958, and in the Impromptu, Op. 142, No. 3, leads us into a world of intimacy and restrained anxiety. His writing almost seems to listen to the silence, seeking a secret dialogue with the inevitable. Liszt, on the other hand, explodes into the Romantic scene with the full weight of his theatrical and transcendent vision. In the Ballade No. 2 in B minor, passion transforms into drama, a musical tale of struggle and redemption; in the Spanish Rhapsody, folk tradition becomes virtuosic momentum and rhythmic incandescence. A program that brings together two complementary souls of European Romanticism: one reflective, shadowy, introspective; the other sunny, impetuous, fascinated by imagery and myth. Together, they draw an interior landscape that still questions and overwhelms us today.
