LISZT: Une devine tragédie - Thomas Ospital, organ

With ‘Ad nos…’ Liszt creates a miniopera Ohne Worte which, for the organ, opened the door to romantic fantasy. Thomas Ospital has chosen to surround this piece with transcriptions of orchestral or piano works, drawing the contours of a tragedy: a ‘divine’ tragedy, for the Saint-Eustache organ can take us only to heaven, after the passage of the trumpets of fame, the sighs of love and the lamentations of mourning.
