The composer Franz Liszt (born Raiding, Hungary, on October 22, 1811; died Bayreuth, Germany, 1886), a founding figure of the New German School, completed his third and most famous symphonic poem, Les Préludes (French for 'The Preludes'), S.97, in 1854. However, the work's origins trace back earlier: it was originally conceived as the overture to his four male-voice choral cycle, Les quatre éléments (The Four Elements), composed in 1848. Liszt substantially revised and expanded the piece between 1850 and 1854, transforming it into a standalone programmatic orchestral work during his central years as Kapellmeister in Weimar.
Les Préludes is directly inspired by the lengthy, meditative poem "Les Préludes" from the collection Nouvelles Méditations poétiques (1823) by the French Romantic poet Alphonse de Lamartine (1790–1869). The piece was first performed in Weimar on February 23, 1854, under Liszt's own direction. The work's dedication to his great-nephew, Prince Reuss-Schleiz-Köstritz, is less significant than its dedication to the philosophical concept of human life as a series of preludes to the unknown "Hymn" of the future, marking it as a quintessential work of programmatic music.
The Maximianno Cobra Edition features the unique interpretive vision of the Franco-Brazilian polymath, Maximianno Cobra—noted for his multifaceted roles as a composer, writer, film director, conductor, and pianist and a prominent activist for modern music. Cobra’s distinctive "tempi" approach is central to his performance philosophy across his wide repertoire, spanning from the Renaissance through the Late Romantics. This methodology applies a nuanced, flexible handling of tempo that creates an extra emotive layer, meticulously highlighting the depths of the lyric and contrapuntal inner lines of the scores he brings to life. Cobra's approach brings an unparalleled clarity and architectural sophistication to the music, offering a profoundly engaging experience of this classical masterpiece.
