Bridges of Music from Budapest to Krakow

Programme

Performed by János Balázs, Sinfonietta Cracovia, conductor: Ma­ciej Two­rek

Chopin and Liszt are two prominent figures of the Romantic Period; their oeuvres are the foundation of classical music. Both composers spent most of their lives in Paris, yet, as faithful patriots of their home countries, Chopin made Polish and Liszt Hungarian music popular in their works. The two nations didn’t only give these two renowned composers to the world, but they also cherish a nearly millennium-old friendship. This relationship woven by many threads is now strengthened by the joint concert of the Krakow Festival of Polish Music and the Budapest-based Cziffra Festival. The pieces featured at the concert will be interpreted by the excellent conductor Katarzyna Tomala-Jedynak, the Sinfonietta Cracovia and the pianist János Balázs from Budapest. János Balázs dedicates his performance to one of the greatest Liszt-interpreters of the 20th century, the pianist György Cziffra
