F. Liszt - Réminiscences de Norma

A matinee at the Wiener Staatsoper

Isaac Albéniz - La Vega

A glimpse into Albéniz’s forgotten dream. A piece suspended between two worlds – impressionism and Spain. Whispered textures, hidden colors… La Vega doesn’t ask for attention — it draws you in.

F. Liszt - Paganini Etude nr.6

A dialogue between two geniuses — Paganini’s spirit, reimagined through Liszt’s boundless imagination.
