Franz Liszt

Halloween is looming on the horizon, and we hope you’ll join us on Friday for some devilishly good music for the season. Join Michael Kownacky from 4 – 6 p.m. for a playlist that’ll hopefully help you get ready for the evening ahead. Our evening of seasonal music includes pieces about devils, witches, and a few ghosts thrown in for good measure.

Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt each only wrote one opera, and we're showcasing excellent recordings of each on this week's Sunday Opera. Schumann's "Genoveva" is based on the life of Genevieve of Brabant, and Liszt's "Don Sanche, ou Le chateau de l'amour" ("Don Sanche, or The Castle of Love") was reportedly written by Liszt when he was 13 and features Don Sanche's love for Elzire and how a wizard named Alidor who lives in the "Castle of Love" helps him win hers.
