Franz Liszt - "No 2, Il Penseroso" (Années de Pelerinage, deuxième année, Italie (Cziiffra))

Because of "The colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and his pilgrim years" I am listening to Franz Liszt's "3  Pilgrim years". The one referred to in the book, 1st année, Suisse, did not do particularly much for me, but this piece from the 2nd year is sad, and tragic, harsh and cold.
