Composed in 1855-56, Liszt's Symphony to Dante's 'Divina Commedia' is programmatic work depicting Dante's journey through hell and purgatory. It was quite advanced for its era, employing many new orchestral colors and daring harmonic schemes. The work's disastrous premiere, given under the composer's direction on November 7th, 1857 in Dresden's Hoftheater, was a public humiliation for the composer. Despite the rocky start, the work's quality and value became apparent over time. The present score is a digitally-restored reissue of the one first published in 1920 by Breitkopf und Hartel as volume 7 of Franz Liszts Musikalische Werke, edited by Otto Taubmann, with a preface by Peter Raabe.
