Pianist Marino Formenti, one of the foremost performers of contemporary music, takes the listener on a dazzling and fluidly executed excursion through thirty works by thirteen composers, through three centuries and two continents - all based on the mutual and deep connection to the music of Franz Liszt. Marino Formenti's unusual combination of emotion and intelligence characterizes him as one of today's most interesting musicians. The Los Angeles Times has lauded him as a 'Glenn Gould for the 21st c.' "What I have attempted to do here is to project Liszt into the future, using the power and freedom of the imagination. To me, painting Liszt as a student of the Spectralists is the logical consequence of Zimmerman's 'spherical form of time' - a foregone conclusion by now, in an era of YouTube, of universal simultaneity and availability." (Marino Formenti).
