Dávid Báll & Zsolt Fejérvári Presented by Liszt Academy

Polish composer and pianist Katarzyna Brochocka has expanded the double bass repertoire with numerous works and she has written a solo suite, sonata and concerto for the instrument. This instrument also has a leading part in her work Chamber Music (2009) composed for selected texts from the poem cycle by James Joyce: it provides commentary and counterpoint to the vocal part taken in this concert by Judit Rajk. In the programme that is not unlike a sonata recital, Zsolt Fejérvári and Dávid Báll show the multitude of possibilities inherent in the double bass-piano combination through such pieces as the arrangement of Schubert’s popular work, Gyula Fekete’s nostalgia-infused composition, Hindemith’s four-movement, neo-Classicist sonata and Sofia Gubaidulina’s lyrical-visionary, remarkable composition featuring improvizational-like playing methods.
