Liszt was a constant musical seeker and explorer: many of the formal and harmonic innovations of Romanticism can be traced back to him. His three major organ works contributed significantly to the re-evaluation of nineteenth-century organ music. Liszt struggled to find ideal formats for these works, and also arranged numerous works, both his own and by other composers, for the organ, which for him formed the logical link between the piano and the orchestra. On this CD, organist Anna-Victoria Baltrusch draws on the evolution of his organ music by combining Liszt's three great organ works with her own highly virtuosic arrangement of his Totentanz (Danse macabre) - originally written in versions for piano and orchestra, two pianos, or piano alone.
