Liszt paints sorrow and triumph in his symphonic poem about the poet Torquato Tasso, a 16th-century writer of epic verse. Tchaikovsky, too, expresses his sorrows and triumphs in this popular concerto. Victor Kissine is an underground composing hero from the repressive years of the Soviet Union who now makes him home in Belgium. And Ravel waltzes with a blend of enigmatic elegance and wistfulness.
