A central element in Franz Liszts life was his religious conviction, these deepest of sentiments being expressed in much of his music. One of the greatest achievements from among his astonishing quantity of religious works is a cycle of pieces entitled Harmonies poetiques et religieuses. These were inspired by the poetry of Alphonse de Lamartine, and the echoes of these striking verses resound in pieces that are both impassioned and movingly meditative, the works included here presenting the cycles original intention to adhere closely to Lamartines eponymous collection of poems.
