Following her highly praised GENUIN debut (Fanny Hensel, The Year), the organist and pianist (here on fortepiano) Els Biesemans presents a CD of rare Liszt piano transcriptions. The program consists of Mendelssohn, Chopin (Six Chants Polonais) and Schubert, including twelve songs from the haunting song cycle Winterreise and Mendelssohn’s Auf Flügeln des Gesanges (On Wings of Song). Concluding the program is a Lisztian original, the brief but beautiful Liebesträume, the third of three nocturnes for solo piano.
