| I wanted to play joyful music because world news is so terrible these days, but the pandemic burning through India is very much on my mind. We hear the grief-tinged Raga Bilashkani Todi in a deeply moving 1971 recording from the late Pandit Jasraj. |

| Liszt's Three Funeral Odes were composed between 1860 and 1866. The first two were composed as reactions to the death of two of his three children, his only son Daniel aged 20 and his elder daughter Blandine who died after childbirth (his other daughter Cosima went on to marry Richard Wagner and spent her long life safeguarding Wagner's legacy and making the Bayreuth Wagner festival a famous, stable institution). The third ode was a tribute to the Italian renaissance poet Torqueta Tasso with whom Liszt must have identified with. The three odes were intended by Liszt to form a cycle, but they are rarely recorded together and even more rarely performed. |
