Lisztomania (film)
Lisztomania is a 1975 film by Ken Russell about the nineteenth century composer Franz Liszt.
The screenplay is derived, in part, from a "kiss-and-tell" book, "Nélida" by Marie d'Agoult (1848), about her affair with Liszt.
Depicting the flamboyant Liszt as the first classical pop star, "Lisztomania" features contemporary rock star Roger Daltrey (of The Who) as Franz Liszt.
The film was released the same year as "Tommy", which also starred Daltrey and was directed by Russell.
Rick Wakeman, from the progressive rock band
Yes, composed the "Lisztomania" soundtrack, which included synthesiser arrangements of works by Liszt and Wagner.
He also appears in the film as the Nordic god of thunder, Thor.
Daltrey and Russell wrote the lyrics for the soundtrack, and Daltrey provided vocals.
Of the other rock celebrities appearing in the film, Ringo Starr, drummer of The Beatles, appears as the Pope.
The term "Lisztomania" was coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to Liszt's virtuosic piano performances.
At these performances, there were allegedly screaming women, and the audience was sometimes limited to standing room only.
This film was first to use the new Dolby Stereo sound system.

Ken Russell
Henry Kenneth Alfred Russell (3 July 1927 – 27 November 2011) was a British film director, known for his pioneering work in television and film and for his flamboyant and controversial style.
His films in the main were liberal adaptations of existing texts, or biographies, notably of composers of the Romantic era.
Russell began directing for the BBC, where he made creative adaptations of composers' lives which were unusual for the time.
He also directed many feature films independently and for studios.
He is best known for his Oscar-winning film "Women in Love" (1969)
, "The Devils" (1971),
The Who's "Tommy" (1975), and the science fiction film "Altered States" (1980).
Russell also directed several films based on the lives of classical music composers, such as Elgar, Delius, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Liszt.
Film critic Mark Kermode, speaking in 2006, and attempting to sum up the director's achievement, called Russell, "somebody who proved that British cinema didn't have to be about kitchen-sink realism—it could be every bit as flamboyant as Fellini.
Later in his life he turned to making low-budget experimental films such as "Lion's Mouth" and "Revenge of the Elephant Man", and they are as edgy and 'out there' as ever".
