CHT

When pianist extraordinaire Franz Liszt was born in Raiding, Hungary on October 22, 1811, the world would best know him for "Liebesträume No. 3" and "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2". But he also wrote over 80 religious works including what would be one of the favorite hymns of many Christians: "Fairest Lord Jesus".
