A man's name on your music, and it would be on all the pianos.
During this 22nd edition of Lisztomanias of Châteauroux, located near the home of George Sand, whom Liszt loved and frequented - we will evoke the women that the composer admired, friends, students or performers, and who marked his life. Thus Marie d'Agoult, Caroline de Sayn-Wittgenstein, Pauline Viardot, Clara Schumann and others; not to mention Cosima, his daughter, future Cosima Wagner…
This year's programming will therefore be exclusively female, including Anne Quéffelec, Mariam Batsashvili, Saskia Giorgini, Etsuko Hirose, Béatrice Berrut, Delphine Haidan, Julie Depardieu, Célimène Daudet, Eliane Reyes, Caroline Sageman, the Akilone Quartet, Véronique Bonnecaze, Dana Ciocarlie, Seonghyeon Leem, Christinae Baume-Sanglard and the young prodigy Lynn Renouil-Hata.
In the presence of musicologists Brigitte François-Sappey et Nicolas Dufetel. As every year, the piano and improvisation academies will be held Bruno Rigutto, Jean-Baptiste Doulcet et Karol Beffa.
For a Liszt more alive than ever.
Jean-Yves Clément, Artistic director
