La Roque d'Anthéron Piano Festival - Liszt's Years of Pilgrimage Book III

La Roque d'Anthéron International Piano Festival - Liszt's Années de pèlerinage Book III: Italy, played by Nathanaël Gouin.

La Roque-d'Anthéron International Piano Festival - Liszt's Années de pèlerinage Book III: Italy

Sarah Walker reaches the end of the journey across Liszt's complete Years of Pilgrimage in performances from this open air festival piano bonanza in the heart of Provence. Today Nathanaël Gouin explores Liszt's evocative impressions of Italy, complete with the distant sound of monks chantin the Sursum corda, the play of the fountains at the Villa d'Este and with the cypress trees rustling in the wind. The historic gardens at Anthéron with their own fountains and ancient trees, not to mention the sound of cicadas and birds, is surely the perfect place to soak up Liszt's atmospheric impressions.
