Lisztomania (film) 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.
