Franz Liszt's "Via crucis, S. 53" is a profound and introspective journey through the Stations of the Cross, a series of events recounted in the New Testament that depict the final hours of Jesus Christ. Released on January 1, 2001, under the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, this classical piano album spans a concise yet impactful 40 minutes. Liszt, a master of the romantic piano repertoire, delivers a deeply moving and contemplative performance that invites listeners to reflect on the spiritual significance of each station. From the somber introduction "Vexilla regis prodeunt" to the poignant final station "Jesus wird ins Grab gelegt," Liszt's composition is a testament to his virtuosity and his ability to convey profound emotion through music. This album is a powerful exploration of faith, suffering, and redemption, making it a timeless addition to any classical music collection.
