FRANZ LISZT (1811-1886): Christus, S 3

Description: Lasting 2 hours and 47 minutes (but a lot shorter than Draeseke's oratorio of the same name!), this immense work is rarely recorded. The old Hungaroton and more recent Hännsler Classic are still in the catalogue (the latter now also available on Brilliant Classics) but we offer this brand-new version for die-hard Liszt collectors and audiophiles. 3 CDs. German texts. Franziska Hirzel (soprano), Birgit Remmert (alto), Donald Kaasch (tenor), Ralf Lukas (baritone), Christoph Anselm Noll (organ), Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno, Beethoven Orchestra Bonn; Roman Kofman.
