About
Liszt's songs represent a very fine but rather neglected area of his prolific output, and his ability to set a variety of languages with felicity makes him unique in the history of the art-song. The present volume, updated and corrected from its 1975 edition, presents 21 of Liszt's songs, mostly from his later life in settings of German, French, Italian, English and Hungarian texts.
