Is there any possiblity that Liszt heard this work (assuming it was ever played) and was thus inspired to write on the same subject? Liszt was known to have actually met Franck and admired him as an organist. Franck had the misfortune to have jumped out of one frying pan and into another - he escaped a domineering father only to marry a woman who went from being an early inspiration to him to becoming a complete and utter nag. It's little wonder that Franck took so long to find his way as a composer.
@@brandtbecker1810I've never read anything to suggest that Liszt took inspiration from Franck in this regard. However, I'm not an authority on either of them, so I honestly don't know.
Psyché, Las Bienaventuranzas,...recuerdos de mi admiración por Cesar Franck de adolescente. El quinteto de piano, el cuarteto... Las variaciones sinfónicas...La sinfonía en re...En cuanto a las montañas, algunos las oyen mas que otros...que se lo digan a Richard Strauss! Muchas gracias por este verdadero regalo,que tenía casi olvidado.
en fait, il existe une version récente de Mikko Franck , chef d'orchestre de l'actuel orchestre de Paris. Chef finlandais , et l'album s'appelle Franck joue Franck;Superbe aussi !
L'ha definito "Symphonic Poem" prima di Liszt ? Vorrebbe dire che spetterebbe a Franck tale definizione! Un ottimo pezzo sinfonico,complessivamente migliore a Liszt per orchestrazione e atmosfere suggestive.Un interessantissimo e splendido post.Complimenti .
Questo poema sinfonico che precede di due anni l'omonimo di Franz Liszt forse è anche superiore a quest'ultimo per le atmosfere che sa evocare.il poema di Liszt è un bel brano romantico ma poco ha a che fare con l'assunto.
This piece is a real curiosity and basically unknown, though I can see why. It's slow and fairly gloomy. Liszt's version on the other hand is far more interesting and varied in atmosphere and orchestration. Nothing really stands out here. It didn't make much of an impression on me but I might give it another shot in the future.
Que de chemin parcouru depuis. Merci pour cette découverte !
Certament ,merveilux Merci beacoupe ! ! !
Though a bit earlier than Liszt's beautiful vision of the Hugo poem, I find Franck's composition even more evocative and inspiring.

@@brandtbecker1810 Liszt had no inspiration from Franck's version; it was not published and performed until the 1980's

Gracias por su atento comentario.
The beginning sounds kinda surreal, love it.
Por tu apreciación de la música y tu generosidad, tengo la oportunidad de disfrutar de un trabajo como este. Muchas gracias.
Gracias por sus amables palabras.
I can't understand what makes this piece so mesmerizing and transcendental? And so unknown?
Liszt wrote a tone poem on the same topic. For sure, his orchestration is more brillant. But is it more profound?
Bien sûr, à défaut d'une formation française qui eut été bienvenue, il faut un ensemble belge pour nous restituer cette oeuvre rarement jouée.

Remercions les Belges de l'avoir enregistrée. Ne soyons pas baudelairien dans ce domaine ! Lol.

Is this piece from Franz Liszt?
No, this work is by Cesar Franck and it is earlier than Liszt's.
@ Thanks
