We’re going back 150 years for today’s Advent music. Franz Liszt wrote his Weinachtsbaum Suite in the 1870s, a set of 12 pieces for solo piano. They’ve also been arranged for two people at the same piano.
Liszt
dedicated the suite to his eldest grandchile, Daniela von Bülow. It premiered
on Christmas Day 1881 in her hotel room in Rome.
Here are Martha Angerich and Daniel Barenboim playing the four-handed version of one of them.
