Orpheus S.98

<p>Liszt's fourth entry in his revolutionary series of thirteen symphonic poems <em>Orpheus</em> was penned to serve as an introduction to the Weimar premiere of Gluck's opera on the same story <em>Ofeo ed Euridice</em>. Composed in 1853-54 it was given its premiere in Weimar 16 February 1854 with the composer conducting the Weimar Hofkapelle. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann in the second volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition published in 1908. Includes an informative introduction by the Swedish Liszt scholar Soren Afshar. The large conductor score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.</p>
