Liszt: Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude (Hough)

Harmonies Poetiques Et Religieuses No.3 -- “Benediction of God in Solitude“. One of Liszt’s most uplifting and personal pieces, played with a beautifully impressionistic touch by Hough, who outshines even Hamelin here with his melodic clarity and tenderness. It is very easy to understand, while listening to this piece, why Liszt is considered such a radical and important innovator: this piece takes a big stride in the direction of Debussy.
