About This Song
About "Consolations, S. 172 : Liszt: Consolations, S. 172: No. 3 Lento, placido" by Daniel Barenboim
Liszt’s third Consolation is a lento placido—a still point in a turning world. Barenboim’s piano sings with unforced warmth, the melody like a hand on a fevered brow. The tension is barely perceptible: a calm so deep it feels like held breath, waiting for release.
