Franz Liszt
LewRockwell.com calles him the "The First Rock Star," linking today to this review of a new book on the composer's life: Napoleon of the piano.

The composer's Catholicsim is explored in this article: Franz Liszt and the Sacramental Bridge: Music as Theology of Presence.

I'm not a big fan of Romanticism, but I find Liszt's Les Préludes to be one of the most rousing compositions ever.
