Duigan customarily laces his programmes with interesting anecdotal and factual content.
“Liszt took minor religious orders in later life, partially fulfilling his dream of becoming a priest. He rewrote major orchestral works including the nine symphonies of Beethoven for solo piano, and is said to have played them more effectively than any orchestra. He invented the ‘piano recital’ and established many of the norms of the concert experience still practiced to this day.
