Franz Liszt is considered to be one of the first superstar's of music. The power of his performances on stage made the Iadies swoon, and his fans were so fierce that his contemporaries gave a name to this phenomenon: Lisztomania. This young Hungarian prodigy was often compared to Mozart and heIped to revoIutionize the worId of the piano. He was a composer, conductor, pianist and teacher and was the inventor of the symphonic poem. This documentary takes us in the footsteps of the indomitabIe virtuoso throughout Europe. From Parisian saIons to the subIime shores of Lake Como, from Budapest to Weimar via Rome or Geneva, this revealing program then meets supporters of the memory of Liszt and pianists who dare to confront his work. But if the composer of the famous Hungarian Rhapsodies was a tireIess traveIer, he was aIso that way in his love Iife. Among his many female conquests were the two major women in his Iife, the Countess Marie d'AgouIt and Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein.
