Pity the movie wasn't Lisztomania, 'cause, like, you know, Liszt used to be a bit like a pop musician.

Liszt was a very different musician in a very different time than Handel, and he was mostly just cribbing off of Paganini when it came to these antics.

But does Klaus Kinski's Paganini have the quotability and outrageous lighthearted over the top-ness of Russell's Lisztomania ?

There's a 2013 film The Devil's Violinist in the mix now apparently.
