Ils quittent la France et arrivent à Genève. Au cours de ses excursions comme au hasard de ses lectures, Liszt confie à son piano les impressions qu’il ressent. Certaines de ses pièces, vont constituer avec le temps, la 1er année de pèlerinage. L’avant-propos de Franz Liszt qui figure en tête de la première édition définit bien l’esthétique de ces pages : ‘’ A mesure que la musique instrumentale progresse, elle tend (…) à devenir non plus une simple combinaison de sons, mais un langage poétique plus apte peut-être que la poésie elle-même à exprimer tout ce qui, en nous, franchit les horizons accoutumés, tout ce qui s’attache à des profondeurs inaccessibles, désirs impérissables, pressentiments infinis. C’est dans cette conviction (…) que j’ai entrepris l’oeuvre publiée aujourd’hui, m’adressant à quelques-uns plutôt qu’à la foule, ambitionnant non le succès mais le suffrage du petit nombre de ceux qui conçoivent pour l’art une destination autre que celle d’amuser les heures vaines, et lui demandent autre chose que la futile distraction d’un amusement passager.’’ *Deuxième année : Italie* Liszt montre son enthousiasme dans une lettre dédiée à Berlioz : ‘’ Le beau, dans ce pays privilégié, m’apparaissait sous ses formes les plus pures et les plus sublimes. L’art se montrait à mes yeux dans toutes ses splendeurs : il se révélait à moi dans son universalité et dans son unité. (…) Raphaël et Michel-Ange me faisaient mieux comprendre Mozart et Beethoven; Jean de Pise, Fra Beato, Francia m’expliquaient Allegri, Marcello, Palestrina; Tricien et Rossini m’apparaissaient comme deux astres de rayons semblables. Le Colysée et le Campo Santo ne sont pas si étrangers qu’on pense à la Symphonie héroïque et au Requiem. Dante a trouvé son expression pittoresque dans Orcagna et Michel-Ange; il trouvera peut-être un jour son expression musicale dans le Beethoven de l’avenir.’’ *Troisième année* C’est la route du pèlerin qui poursuit sa quête de l’absolu. Liszt, devenu l’abbé Liszt, continue à parcourir l’Europe. Sommes-nous si loin de ce que Liszt disait à sa mère en sa vingtième année : ‘’La vie terrestre n’est qu’une maladie de l’âme, une excitation que les passions entretiennent. L’état naturel de l’âme c’est la quiétude.’’ Les jeux d’eaux évoquent la grâce du baptême car l’entrée du thème s’accompagne de la promesse de Jésus Christ : ‘’Mais l’eau que je lui donnerai deviendra en lui une source d’eau jaillissant pour communiquer la vie éternelle.’’ Cette quête de Vérité, Liszt la cherche dans le feu passionné de ses premiers amours (1er année), croit la rencontré dans l’art (2e année) et ne la trouve finalement que dans le dépouillement qui conduit à Dieu (3e année).

Liszt is my greatest inspiration when I paint. It is exhausting to listen to his music and paint at the same time but the results are fantastic. Listening to his music makes the sky always dark and it brings me back to my childhood.

Goes hand in hand with Murakami's novel "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage"

Lazare Berman is one of the finest interpret of these "Années de Pèlerinage".

I've heard many-many interpretations of these pieces by many-many pianists, yet, the quality of Berman's music-making, without any unnecessary bravado, is pure joy. Sometimes I feel it can't be any better - it's perfect. I've missed Berman for so long, for some reason he seems to have been forgotten, so thanks a lot for proving that he hasn't.

I love the sleepy, non-rushed start to year 2, and the way it builds thereafter. This has always been my favorite interpretation.

As others have commented, since 1977 when Lazar Berman recorded Années de Pèlerinage, Liszt has gained in popularity and there are many fine performances of the work. As recordings go, however, the remastering of this performance has brought it again to the fore. Berman had a special affinity with this work and I return to his performance time and again. For me it certainly is a Century's recording. Thank you.

this was one of the greatest recordings of the piano literature, it will live hopefully beyond us !!

Absolutely the best performance of these sets there are.

Berman uno dei più grandi pianisti.Eccezionale esecuzione di Liszt! Grazie per questa splendida inserzione!

1:50:10 that Tarantella is amaaaaaaazing! Never heard a performance like that, not even with the more ‘modern’ interpretations. Wow, just wooooow! ❤❤❤

Kräftige und zugleich lyrische Interpretation dieser romantischen und technisch anspruchsvollen Meisterwerke im gut phrasierten Tempo mit klar artikuliertem Anschlag und perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Virtuosität dieses unvergleichlichen Pianisten ist immer noch unvergesslich. Echt wertvolle Gesamtaufnahme!

This is just amazing! I felt like I lived an entire lifetime listening to this ❤️❤️❤️ am gonna learn them all!

Très reconnaissante pour tout ce que vous nous faites re-décourvrir. MERCI !

This Lazar Berman recording was my first experience of these seminal Romantic Movement works. It convinced me I did not know the real Liszt. These piano meditations run parallel to poems that, for example, Shelley wrote as he wandered across southern Europe with his family. Of course, Liszt's piano makes words unnecessary, and Shelley's poems show the eloquence the human voice alone. Read some of Shelley's poems written in Italy, then play the ITALIAN PILGRIMAGE, and you will filled with the glorious spirit of Romanticism

Part 3 -- highly experimental for it's time! What a wonderful recording by maestro Lazar Berman. Thank you for the upload.

La interprtacion y comprencion de esta gran obra 🏆 🇮🇷. es tener un conocimiento profundo de Franz Lizst. ❤

I own this on CD... It is just beautiful, brilliant and, I think the best rendition of this masterpiece.

Musique sublime!!! Merci de partager!!!

The quality of the recording, both the sound and the interpreter is tremendous.

Lazar Berman,one of the best pianists in th world, is my favorite player on this monument for the piano,considering other many great compositions in piano literature.I saw him alive playing it all.There are other very good Liszt present and past players,but as it is titled,this is a reference recording.I have the original 1977 LP (ccpied to CD and the original LP is intact as I took always care of my recordings).Many years ago,pianists did not take risks playing it complete in concert.I loved Liszt music very early.I define him monumental and sublime.

Monumental. Enorme trabajo. Muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

L’œuvre que je préfère ! Liszt est mon compositeur préféré hélas dure à interpréter! C’etait un homme qui aimait partager, lui très connu interprétait par exemple en faisant des arrangements la musique de Beethoven qui n’était pas connu!

Magnifico Liszt 🥰🌻🤗🌞

Berman in questo trittico non è stato ancora superato da nessuno

Berman's Liszt was the first recording of Liszt I had. So, I admit I am partial toward Berman. There is the inevitable comparing him to titans like Richter or Gilels...For me, I only have to listen to the Petrarch Sonnets. Berman's interpretation of these works is hard to describe. Also, thank you for the opening commentary. Very profound. Quete de Verite indeed...

This Berman recording of the complete AdP was my introduction to Liszt as well, and I benefited a lot from getting the CD set with the comprehensive notes by Humphrey Searle. A superb performance, for which I still have great respect and fondness; thank you for posting! If asked for a modern recommendation, however, I would probably suggest the version by Bertrand Chamayou, along with those of Muza Rubackyte and Daniel Grimwood (the latter minus Venezia e Napoli, but played on a mid-19th-century Erard). We are fortunate to have a great many more pianists who take Liszt seriously than back in the mid-20th century! Also, little by little performances by some of the unjust neglected great Liszt interpreters are surfacing: my musical life has been greatly enriched by Louis Kentner, Sergio Fiorentino, Edith Farnadi and Gunnar Johansen (among others). :)

Wonderful performance.🤩⚘ The one of my favorite artists form Öesterreich is mr.F.Liszt, so thank you Classic music. 😍❤🤗

Absolutely awesome, to put it mildly, but the superlatives that should be included here would be too numerous otherwise. However, one almost have to sit in a very quiet room to appreciate music like this, which of course would be ideal, but at times I like to listen while doing other work and it's almost impossible because of variances in the recording/volume levels, which means at times I can't barely hear anything, and other times it becomes too loud. Really annoying and it's obviously part of the portrayal of the music played, but sitting in a mucic hall hearing it live isn't nearly as pronounced but of course much more involving, but maybe somebody can explain this phenomenon, it seems to be particularly pronounced in this recording, so I guess it could be a number of things including how this was uploaded to YT.

Berman, Es muss sein Sound Quality, very Good !!

Still has the edge over every other version.

High in the running for best classical recording on youtube

ahhh. that descending passage at about 1:13:13 is rivaled only by Horowitz. Sublime.

couldn't agree more.

Le monument de la musique pour piano de F Liszt, ces années de pèlerinage que je découvrais il y a plus de quarante ans avec l’intégrale de France Clidat (6 albums Vega )je les réécoute dans une version intimiste de Berman . On ne peut choisir !

El primer año es temáticamente un peregrinaje de verdad a diferencia del segundo año.

This is a reference recording of the années de pèlerinage, but not the only one : you also have Cziffra at EMI, Wilhelm Kempff, Alfred Brendel, Jorge Bolet on Decca not to forget, Jenö Jándó and Aldo Ciccolini on Naxos...Sergio Fiorentino, Edith Farnadi, Lajos Hernadi which is somehow forgotten. When you listen to many versions, you can see clearly the difference between performers!

@@dariodangelo8938Wilhelm Kempff recorded on vinyl the Années de Pèlerinage Suisse, Italy and the "Deux Légendes". Then Deutsche Grammophon label reissued two new editions both on vinyl and CD later. What remains sure as my teacher told me is that Kempff played some other pieces of the repertoire like "Les Jeux d'eau à la villa d'Este" or "Tarantelle" from "Venezia e Napoli" but we only have, still left, some very short audio samples by an amateur which were taken during Kempff's legendary Liszt Concert in July 1959, and it is said that these are only archives at the Liszt Music Academy of Budapest with no real particular interest as is the case for Bermann's recording. However, Könneman Music Library have also a copy of this concert where Kempff plays the unknown pieces that weren't recorded on CD.

Sylvia Sass Thank you very much for your detailed answer, Sylvia. I knew that Kempff recorded extracts from the annees (I have a LP with part of the 2nd year annee, Italy, not 1st Suisse...and the two Legends). But I don't think he recorded the whole set as Lazar Berman did. Probably just extracts from 1st and 2nd annee. But maybe I’m wrong...👍🤗 Saluti dall’Italia!!👋👋

Among more recent versions, that of Bertrand Chamayou is outstanding (my personal favorite). Also of note: Muza Rubackyte, and that of Daniel Grimwood (the 3 "years" only, no supplemental Venezia e Napoli), especially as he plays an 1851 Erard. Chamayou and Grimwood both have a superb sense of the shape of each "year," with Grimwood in particular finding appropriate opportunities to segue directly from one piece to the next.

J'etais au debut un fanatique de Lazar Berman sûr ces années se Pèlerinage, maintenant c'est la version de Lortie qui prend le dessus : il fait ressortir les harmonies, les voix intermédiaire, ce que fait moins Berman. Bon après y en a qui aime Berman plus melodiste ( y a rien de mal) qui effectivement peut s'avérer transcendantal. Chacun ces goûts quoi lol.

Ponderous performance in poor sound. Possibly the most overrated Liszt recording out there. Ciccolini's recording for EMI from the 1960s blows Berman completely away, technically, musically and sonically.
