A rockstar in his own time known for breaking out improv on stage, Franz Liszt is a perfectly dynamic composer to kick off another charged Monterey Symphony season. Liszt's influential mid-19th century works still convey a gravitas to modern listeners, and under the direction of conductor Max Bragado-Darman, the symphony explores Liszt's breadth in this power-packed program, called "Lisztomania." They'll go from a precise mid-tempo march to the spectacular Piano Concerto No. 1, or Malédiction. Guest pianist Zhengyu Chen lends the furious virtuosity this piece deserves. [SR]
