This recital brings together two major figures of nineteenth‑century piano literature, Franz Liszt and Charles‑Valentin Alkan, in a program that highlights both sacred reflection and extreme pianistic innovation. The church setting provides an appropriate backdrop for the first half, which focuses on works Liszt composed during his years in Rome. In 1863, Liszt sought refuge at the Madonna del Rosario monastery, writing, “My life is becoming simplified … the Catholic piety of my childhood has become a regular feeling.” His time there produced music marked by clarity, restraint, and religious focus rather than virtuoso display.
