New Liszt Ferenc Chamber Choir A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The resident chamber choir of the Liszt Academy, under the baton of internationally-renowned choral conductor László Norbert Nemes, perform nine remarkable choral works by composers of different nationalities. Finn Leevi Madetoja, who was a student of Sibelius and died in 1947, as well as Swede Ingvar Lidholm (born: 1921), both have compositions setting Psalm 130 to music, while Norwegian Knut Nystedt (who lived to the age of 99 and left behind a volume of fine choral works when he died in 2014) is represented by his setting of verses from the Book of Revelations. Francis Poulenc wrote his masterpiece Un soir de neige at Christmas 1944, in German-occupied Paris, after the poem by Paul Éluard. Zoltán Kodály’s contributions are Norwegian Girls written in 1940 and the moving Lament in memory of victims of the global war. Also there is a church work by Philippino John August Pamintuan who has won huge international acclaim for his choral works.
