László Fassang has both closely followed and helped shape the history of the Müpa organ from the very beginning. As an expert, he supervised its construction, while he has also acted as artistic consultant for the institution's organ concerts since 2006. Consequently, there can scarcely be anyone more familiar with the huge organ of the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall, an extraordinary instrument that conceals so many possibilities that to exploit them all would be an almost impossible u...ndertaking. The many-faceted Fassang, who - through his one-time teacher, the organist of Notre-Dame de Paris - can also be regarded as a pupil of the great French tradition, is dedicated to popularising organ music. Besides performing the classical organ repertoire, he places importance on cultivating the tradition of improvisation, endeavouring to present the inherent versatility of the instrument through a synthesis of various musical styles from jazz to folk. In his willingness to transgress stylistic and generic boundaries, he primarily demonstrates the inexhaustibility of the organ repertoire.
In this concert offering a selection of exciting music ranging from the 14th century to contemporary works, the organist is joined by his cellist wife Ditta Rohmann and French saxophonist Vincent Lê Quang, a long-time partner and friend in improvisation, as well as by the outstanding singer György Philipp.
