LJones is a producer out of Toronto, Canada. His debut release is a collection of songs from late 2009 to early 2011.ony \’in three characteristic pictures\’, each devoted to a key character in the play: Faust, Gretchen and Mephistopheles. Rather than telling the story of the play, Liszt composed a psychological exploration of these three main figures. He was also a pioneer in his use of leitmotifs, i.e. short musical ideas that underline a trait of character or evoke feelings, a process that his future son-in-law, Richard Wagner, would take even further in his operas.
The Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, led by Gergely Madaras, presents the original, purely instrumental version of the Faust Symphony from 1854. This gigantic work is complemented by the first of the Mephisto Waltzes, inspired by Nikolaus Lenau\’s vision of the Faust myth. These two works offer two very different perspectives on Liszt\’s intense relationship with the character of Faust, and in particular with that of Mephistopheles, around whom many of his compositions are structured. They are key works for understanding Liszt\’s aesthetic project and the typical nineteenth-century tendency towards a combination of the arts.
