Evgeni Koroliov and Keller Quartet A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The truth about Yevgeny Korolyov, the pianist renowned for his impressive personality, is not so much that he interprets works as goes about recreating them. He approaches this with his characteristic simplicity, free of frills and any kind of musical heavy-handedness. This is not his first Budapest appearance; however, this time it is with the Keller Quartet, which within three years of their formation (1987) easily won the world’s two most prestigious string quartet competitions and had toured all the great concert halls. In addition, András Keller, first violinist of the ensemble, has headed up the chamber music course of the Liszt Academy for a year. The programme features the master work by Brahms originally planned for a string quintet and inspired by Schumann, then the sombre Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G minor composed in 1940 and continuing a dialogue with the music of Bach.
