He was a composer, conductor, pianist and teacher and was the inventor of the symphonic poem. This documentary takes us in the footsteps of the indomitable virtuoso throughout Europe. From Parisian salons to the sublime shores of Lake Como, from Budapest to Weimar via Rome or Geneva, this reveaIing program then meets supporters of the memory of Liszt and pianists who dare to confront his work.
