Bøker i Music in Georgian and Victorian Society-serien

Liszt, a dominant figure in the Romantic movement, has lately been the subject of a number of scholarly studies. Here Dr Allsobrook brings together, for the first time, and in fascinating and varied detail, the story of Liszt's encounters with the English provinces, Scotland and Ireland during the two long tours he made in 1840 and 1841.

His Recollections give a fascinating glimpse of the life of an ordinary musician as he went about his daily business serving as a church organist, singing glees - occasionally with the Prince of Wales - and teaching.
