Máté Bán Flute Recital A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“If only the artist of the future would mark out the goal within himself, and not without, and virtuosity would be the means alone and not the ultimate aim. If only he always kept in mind that although according to the saying, Noblesse oblige, but at least as much, and rather far more, than nobility: GÉNIE OBLIGE (Genius obliges)!” Thus wrote Ferenc Liszt about Paganini in 1840, and he himself was an example to posterity of what talent demands of an artist. Above all else, the sharing of talent with the world. The Liszt Academy Concert Centre series launched in 2013 provides the opportunity for several students or ensembles of the Liszt Academy to present themselves every half year. Tonight, it is the turn of Junior Prima Prize winner flautist Máté Bán, who is very much in tune with the principles of Liszt: since his music school days he has won several Hungarian and international competitions, he holds many awards for his art, and he regularly performs as a member of Concerto Budapest, as soloist and chamber musician. One interesting feature of the programme spanning nearly 300 years is György Kurtág’s Bagatelles for flute, double bass and piano, in which Máté Bán is joined by Zsolt Fejérvári and Gábor Csalog. An equally important figure taking to the stage is pianist Imre Dani, winner of the 2014 Johannes Brahms International Competition.
