Last of twelve programmes of Liszt's music, devised by Humphrey Searle Cosmopolitan though he was, Liszt had a strong feeling for his native land of Hungary, and the story of Elizabeth, the patron saint of that country, made a special appeal to him. His oratorio was first performed, under his direction, at Budapest in 1865. Two years later it was given at the Wartburg on the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the castle. It was in the castle, in 1855, that Liszt saw the frescoes, depicting scenes in the life of the Saint, that provided the initial inspiration for the oratorio. Harold Rutland
