Vestards Šimkus. Ferenc Liszt’s Romantic Piano Music

The outstanding Latvian pianist Vestards Šimkus has dedicated this concert program especially to one of the most legendary composers and pianists of the 19th century, Ferenc Liszt, whose virtuosic and romantic music once gave listeners at concerts an almost superhuman and transcendental experience.

It was precisely thanks to Liszt’s music and stories about his life that Vestards Šimkus fell in love at the age of eight with the piano, classical music, and the creative process of composing, deciding to dedicate his entire life to music.

In this solo concert, the pianist will not only perform works by Ferenc Liszt, but will also share stories about the composer and his music, helping every listener to more deeply understand and experience the astonishing magic of Liszt’s music.
