Liszt: Piano Music

Tyler Hay’s Liszt recital ranges over the composer’s protean output. It opens with the Gothic splendour and intricate counterpoint of the Fantasy and Fugue on B-A-C-H but immediately continues in the much more intimate and elusive idiom of the first of the Valses oubliées.

This innovative program of Liszt piano works shows the different faces of this towering musical genius: “Liszt the priest” is represented in works with a religious character or reference: the mighty B.A.C.H. Fantasy & Fugue and the “Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen” Variations, two works of immense proportions and drama, in which the chromaticism is extended to its limits. The “Jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este” is a late work in which Liszt lets the holy water pour and glitter in heavenly light. “Liszt the devil” is represented by the famous Mephisto Waltz No. 1, with its devilish laughter and fiendish virtuosity. “Liszt the Visionary” is represented by the four Valses Oubliées, short works with future looking harmonies and eerie melodies. The four Valses are not played in a row but are placed between each “big” piece, as a welcome relaxation after their tension and drama.

Born in 1994, the British pianist Tyler Hay is a scholarship student at the Royal College of Music where he continues his studies with the eminent piano pedagogue Niel Immermann. He already has an impressive concert diary of recitals and concertos throughout the UK and beyond: this is his debut recital, concentrating on a composer for whom he feels a particular affinity. Indeed his advocacy of Liszt has been recognised in the Liszt Society Competition in November 2016, when he won first prize.
