About
Along with the Années de Pèlerinage, the Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses is the most important cycle Liszt composed for the piano. It reveals his mystical dimension, at once poetic and religious, through reference to the universal poetry of Lamartine.
Liszt transposes his verse into music that is glorious yet intimate, tormented yet soothing, served here by the humanist vision of Brigitte Engerer.

Awards and reviews
January 2011
Engerer's are interpretations that are extraordinarily thoughtful, sympathetic and deeply felt...the essential musical argument emerges with crystalline clarity and seeming ease. The idiosyncratic rhetoric is impassioned without ever sounding histrionic...these Harmonies sound relevant and speak with an eloquence as fresh as it is persuasive.
