In this edition of the award-winning composer series from
HBO,
Franz Liszt, portrayed wonderfully by
Geordie Johnson, is one of Europe's finest pianists, rich and famous beyond compare, but he is frustrated by his inability to find the inspiration to compose his own music. But when
Liszt takes
Josy, a young violin virtuoso, under his wing, he awakens his own creativity. Features music from
Carnival in Pest,
The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and
The Mephisto Waltz. Historically accurate and musically adept, this video is a valuable resource for music appreciation programs. Recommended for ages nine to 12.
