Programme
Nearing the birthday of the world-famous Hungarian piano virtuoso György Cziffra, pianist János Balázs, a rightful heir and representative of the musical heritage bequeathed to us by the master, is giving a piano recital. Extraordinary lightness, improvisation, and almost self-evident shifting between the different styles characterise the performance tradition following in the footsteps of Ferenc Liszt and Ernő Dohnányi, which the only 35-year-old János Balázs will present it to the audience this time. The artist’s unique play will evoke a bygone era, the most distinguished salon atmosphere of the 19th century, through the transcriptions of Liszt, Chopin and György Cziffra in the concert hall of the Olso Academy of Music. Some young Norwegian pianists will debut during the evening, and the students of János Balázs’ international masterclass will also surprise the audience with musical treats. The performance is the international opening event of the Jubilee Cziffra Festival, which, with its programme, deservedly represents the essence of György Cziffra’s ethos and artistic credo achieved at the cost of so much suffering: the freedom of man and music.
