Mihály Berecz Presented by Liszt Academy

Mihály Berecz’s selection is typical of elegant artists of great stature: he combines the works of two baroque and two turn-of-the-century composers on what promises to be a most memorable evening. The gallantly formed harpsichord pieces of the amazingly original 18th century opera composer, adorned with fine melodies, and the composition of the grandmaster of baroque keyboard instruments, which also consists of dance movements, require a fundamentally different keyboard approach to Debussy’s and Ravel’s piano music vibrant in colour. On the other hand, we can easily discover the connection between the works of the two eras, as Le tombeau de Couperin and Pour le piano evoke the suite, genre of baroque stylized dance movements. Mihály Berecz is one of the greatest talents of his generation, who dazzles audiences with his refined and yet liberated interpretations.
