Year2012
Recorded live in Seattle, Sheppard’s traversal of the first two books of Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage follows the composer’s musical journeys through Switzerland and Italy. The collection transforms landscapes, literature, visual art, and personal experience into some of Liszt’s most poetic piano writing, moving from Alpine grandeur and pastoral reflection to works inspired by Raphael, Michelangelo, Petrarch, and Dante.
