OB-6: Merry Lisztmas (Weihnachtsbaum, #3)
Published on Dec 24, 2018 Kris Lennox
"'Shepherds at the Manger' (In dulci jubilo) by Liszt. This work forms part of Liszt's wonderful 'Weihnachtsbaum' ('Christmas Tree). Not a set well-known within the piano-playing world - but certainly a fantastic set. As well as this piece, #'s 2, 6, and (especially) 9 are great pieces I'll likely record in the future; #2 on synth, and the others on piano (due to the wider range).
Weihnachtsbaum, written for Liszt's granddaughter Daniela von Bulow, was premiered on Christmas day. Hence this post on Christmas day :)
Just a quick sight-read through the score on this recording, but very interesting to hear the piece on the Oberheim. Liszt's instructions indicate the work is to be played on either piano or harmonium, but who knows: he may have enjoyed the piece on synth.
Merry Christmas to everyone - have a great day.
All best
Kris"
