With this Fantasy, pianist Lukas Geniusas explores a form that embodies freedom and was particularly dear to the Romantics. In his song “Der Wanderer,” Schubert sets to music the figure of the wandering vagabond, which a few years later inspired a large-scale instrumental work: the Fantasy in C major, D 760 (1822), later known as the “Wanderer Fantasy.” Its four-part structure could correspond to that of a four-movement sonata cycle, yet these sections follow one another without interruption in a continuous process, like an uninterrupted journey. Fascinated by this work, Liszt created his arrangement for piano and orchestra in 1851, two years before his famous Sonata in B minor, which is also monothematic and unfolds as a single, expansive movement. Tchaikovsky, on the other hand, more deeply rooted in the classical tradition, cultivates virtuosity and instrumental brilliance in his Concert Fantasy of 1884. Together with the St. Gallen Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Modestas Pitrenas, Geniusas presents a rare (if not unique) combination of these two fantasies, which are separated by little more than six decades.
