Béla Bartók National Concert Hall

It is always thrilling to hear early works by great composers. Anton Webern's piece Im Sommerwind, which dates 'from the period before Opus 1', is a richly colourful Romantic symphonic poem that the 21-year-old artist composed to verse by the German poet Bruno Wille. And how many people know that Koussevitzky started his career not as a conductor, but as a double bassist? This is how he came to write the double bass concerto in F-sharp minor, one of the few concert works written for the instrument. The piece dates from the same period as Webern's: Koussevitzky was 28 years old and still living in Russian when he wrote it in 1902. Dominik Wagner, the 23-year-old Austrian soloist for this work, is also young, but has won awards at numerous international competitions. Almost the same age at 24 is the soloist for the Bartók piano concerto, Hungarian Ádám Szokolay, who won the Bartók World Competition in 2019. Young instrumentalists playing music written by composers at the dawn of their careers - a night full of the spirit of youth. Supported by the European Union's Classical Futures Europe and Creative Europe programmes. The concert will be preceded from 6.30 pm by a conversation entitled Prelude, where ticket holders will be invited to get to know the performing musician and the works to be performed more closely.

Early Music Reloaded - Elemér Balázs Group & Nuria Rial

30 September 2020

Since their formation, the two-time Fonogram Award-winning Elemér Balázs Group have regularly played at domestic and international jazz and world music festivals, concert halls and clubs. The emphasis on melody in their music means they retain a wide appeal. Their sound is characterised by the fusion of motifs from the musical traditions of different eras and regions. As far back as the release of their 2007 album, Early Music, they have been showing us how combining Renaissance and Baroque music with jazz can open up new and exciting paths. Nuria Rial, who enjoys worldwide popularity, was born in Catalonia. She specialises in Renaissance and Baroque music, in particular the works of Monteverdi and Handel. Nuria graduated from the vocals and piano department of the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona, before also studying as a solo vocalist under Kurt Widmer in Basel. She has performed to great acclaim at festivals and in concert halls across Europe and America, while her records have been released worldwide on some of the biggest record labels. Rial has visited Müpa before: she first performed as a special guest of the Elemér Balázs Group in 2008, while most recently she was invited to perform alongside Iván Fischer in 2019. The success of 12 years ago is bound to be repeated, as we enjoy a performance of the transcendental works of Bach, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Casati, Caldara and many others, with plenty of improvisational elements thrown in.

The Golden Age of Hollywood

28 August 2020

Over the course of her unflaggingly successful career, Nikoletta Szőke has performed concerts in New York, Tokyo and numerous European countries, taking the stage with such stars as Bobby McFerrin and Michel Legrand. This time around, she will be performing legendary Hollywood film music from the 1920s to the 1970s, scored for a full symphony orchestra specifically for this occasion and with Gábor Hollerung conducting. On the programme will be such movie themes as Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany's and I will Wait for You from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, as well as the title songs from Cabaret, Singing in the Rain and The Way We Were. Although the concert promises to be a spectacular one, Szőke stresses that 'it is not the technical implementation or sense of fanfare that interests me in music, but rather the message and the richness of the means of expression.'
