Franz Liszt (1811-1886) : THE SYMPHONIC POEMS Vol. 2

The characteristic single-movement symphonic poem evolved from the concert-overture, (Prometheus) not attached to an opera or play yet suggestive of a literary or natural sequence of legends (Orpheus), painting (Battle of the Huns), motherland (Hungaria, Ma vlàst with Smetana). Five gems of great romantic orchestral small pictures used thematic transformation to parallel the poetic emotions.
