Tasso. Lamento e Trionfo, S.96 - Liszt Franz

The second in a ground-breaking series of thirteen works for orchestra, Liszt's Tasso. Lamento e Trionfo was inspired by Goethe's drama Torquato Tasso. Composed from 1849-54, it was given its premiere in Weimar 19 April 1854 with the composer conducting the Weimar hofkapelle. This new study score is a digitally-restored reissue of the score edited by Otto Taubmann from the first volume of the Liszt-Stiftung edition, published in 1908.
