During his entire life, Franz Liszt kept a very tight connection with Italy. The repertoire presented on this CD includes the two versions of the Tre Sonetti del Petrarca, written at a distance of almost 30 years, and a series of works that give us the chance to appreciate the refined art of a very different Liszt, very far from the virtuoso of the Sonata in B minor and the Transcendental Studies. These works are presented by mezzo-soprano Chiarastella Onorati, a singer gifted with an incredible feeling that allows her to display even the slightest nuances of the Lisztian writing, accompanied with great elegance and brilliance by the excellent Giulio De Luca.
