In addition to some of the epoch-making “Songs without Words” by Felix Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny Hensel, other instrumental song forms can be heard: Franz Liszt, Edvard Grieg and Sergej Rachmaninoff made her contributions to a pianistic genre that transferred vocal forms to the piano. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Armenian late romantic Komitas Vardapet, in his “Seven Songs” for piano, drew a bow back to the form established by Mendelssohn, which he fused with folk tunes from his homeland. As a prelude to the colorful programme, Violetta Khachikyan interprets the virtuoso variations on “John come kiss me now” BK81 by the Renaissance composer William Byrd, in which the Shakespearean contemporary used a popular English folk song. One of Franz Schubert’s most important art songs formed the nucleus of his famous “Wanderer Fantasy”, which sounds as the highly romantic finale.
