Miklós Perényi &Miklós Spányi Bach Recital A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“Playing Bach doesn’t bother me in the least.” This is apparently what Miklós Perényi said after a concert when an acquaintance asked him whether he was exhausted having played – totally alone – Bach’s cello suites in the Liszt Academy Grand Hall for a full 90 minutes. Miklós Spányi shares these feelings in respect of Bach, so harmony between these two is already on firm shared ground. Even when Miklós Spányi brings historically informed performance experience to the concert while the unique cello playing of Miklós Perényi is as though it has remained totally untouched by the achievements of the early music movement. Of course, Spányi is what might be called an ‘unorthodox’ early music instrumentalist, which will make it all the more interesting to see how – irrespective of stylistic issues – these two particular musicians resonate within the framework imposed by Bach. The concert programme has the three surviving viola da gamba sonatas of Bach plus two solo keyboard works, with Miklós Perényi opening with the Cello Suite in G major.
