Choral Works & Organ: Liszt! In Every Respect

イベント情報

As part of the Liszt year, and in collaboration with outstanding organist Csaba Király, it is no coincidence that Liszt's Missa choralis, founded on Gregorian melodies, and his grandiose B‐A-C‐H Variations are joined on this programme by works by Mihály Mosonyi.

The paths of the two composers crossed at numerous points. Mosonyi was born four years later than Liszt, also on the border of Austria with Hungary. Their meeting in 1856 proved to be a defining moment for Mosonyi, but the admiration was far from one‐sided. Church music eventually brought the two musicians closer together: Mosonyi played double bass at the première of the Esztergom Mass, and it was for him that Liszt added a double bass solo to the work. In exchange, Mosonyi wrote piano arrangements of Liszt's work, which the great composer welcomed with genuine enthusiasm.
