In 1855, Moritz von Schwind painted six frescoes about the life of St. Elisabeth for the Wartburg in Thuringia. There Liszt was inspired to create a work in which drama goes hand in hand with static piety. An excellent opportunity to become acquainted with one of the most intriguing scores by this nineteenth-century musical giant.
