Synopsis

Album Description

Liszt's setting of Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross) is bold, blunt and downright brutal at times. It forces us to confront the cruelty and indescribable suffering and sacrifice made by the Son of God out of incomprehensible love for humanity. Moments of painful tenderness and unbearable poignancy reflect the anguish of his friends and innocent bystanders as they witnessed this spectacle. Included on this disc are selected choral works of adoration, comfort and awe expressing the immeasurable love God has for the human race.

CD Reviews

A Perfect Tribute to Franz Liszt, the Abbe

Frank Cedrone | Professor Emeritus, Music Department, University o | 05/25/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) features Church of the Holy Ghost Choir__Richard Robertson, conductor. Mary Kay Kapustka is the piano accompanist, and a formidable accompanist is she: brilliant where required, reflective and meditative when dictated by the ispired music of Franz Liszt. She has just the right sensitivity and power to do justice to a very demanding score. The CD also contains 3 Sacred Choral Works by Liszt, that complete an exemplary tribute to one of the true musical giants of the Romantic era: FRANZ LISZT"

""A capable recording of VIA CRUCIS is always good news....an intensely heart felt document. The piano accompaniment is vivid, solid, and passionately played....The solo voices show emotional commitment and sing clearly and with musicianship....in keeping with the passion of their declamation. The recording venue acoustic is sufficient to convey a religious atmosphere and surround the performers with a soft halo but leave every musical detail clear and unblurred. THIS IS A VERY WELCOME ADDITION TO THE LISZT DISCOGRAPHY."
