- Summary:
- This performance by the Dutch Chamber Choir, conducted from the piano by Reinbert de Leeuw, presents a rare opporunity to hear Liszt's moving late work. The recording was made at the Church of St. Peter in Utrecht and is rich in visual imagery, using costumed singers positioned in striking tableaux to enhance the music. Inspired by a series of paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross, Liszt's piety expresses itself in a composition of unadorned simplicity.
