Qian Zhou, Vilmos Szabadi, Ernő Fehér A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“Significant world-class artist” – these are the words of authoritative music journal The Strad about Chinese violinist Qian Zhou. Hungarian violinist Vilmos Szabadi has played together with legendary artists such as György Solti, Mstislav Rostropovich and Plácido Domingo. These two fine performers are here accompanied on piano by Ernő Fehér, winner of a series of Hungarian and foreign competitions.
Beethoven’s Sonata in C minor is a refined, eloquent masterpiece, and has precisely the dramatic character that typifies the composer’s use of this morose and anguished key. The Duo in A major by the early Romantic Italian violin virtuoso Alessandro Rolla is a striking bravura piece considered the trademark of the composer (it is no mere coincidence that the father of young Paganini visited this genius of the string instrument, asking him to teach his son). In his autobiography, Prokofiev noted the moment he realized two violins could manage without piano accompaniment. He looked on this compositional mode as a creative challenge, and the rarely performed Sonata in C major, revealing lyricism mixed with piquant rhythms, proves that he passed the test with flying colours.
