This group of young professors do other covers of songs in which you see on their YouTube page. I love it when indie songs are sung by children choruses! It adds a nice unique vibe to it.</p> </blockquote> <p>Wow!</p> <p>“The term “Lisztomania” was coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to <a title="Franz Liszt" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Liszt">[Franz] Liszt</a>’s virtuosic piano performances.
