One special highlight is the American debut recital of Pétér Tóth, winner of the Budapest Liszt Competition. Paris was a focal point for many important events in Liszt’s development. In this city he found love, inspiration, fame, notoriety, success, scandal, and heartbreak. The inspiration of Paganini proved crucial in his development as a virtuoso, the encounters with Lamartine and Lamennais solidified his artistic and philosophical credo, and here he met the woman who would bear him three children- the Countess Marie d’Agoult. I hope you will join us for these three exhilarating days of concerts, lectures, and champagne receptions as we explore the intriguing world of Liszt in Paris. The San Francisco Conservatory is pleased to host the 2007 American Liszt Society Festival in its brand new facilities.
