Godflesh - Life Is Easy

Liszt was then preparing the Elbe Music Festival, held in Magdeburg on June 14. The concert program very symbolically included the Beethoven Ninth Symphony and fragments of the Wagnerian “Flying Dutchman” - a kind of “bridge” of the ideals of the “New Weimar”. In the cycle of worries associated with the festival, Liszt turned to Antal Augus, the confidant of the archbishop, for help. And the fact that during the consecration of the basilica exactly the Mass of Liszt was performed is entirely the merit of Augus, who used all his influence for this. As we see, not only Liszt unselfishly helped friends.
