In memoriam Leoš Janáček A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

In the native land of Bartók and Kodály we should be more familiar with the work of the Czech-Moravian composer. Zoltán Kocsis thought he “had an incredibly original voice, was older than Mahler, and so much more modern.” Janáček’s operas enjoy a renaissance in the theatres of Western Europe.
Young Hungarian musicians, who play his piano and chamber pieces more and more often, seem to be responsible for the local “breakthrough” of Janáček. Now an eminently talented group of musicians will take to the stage to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the composer’s death, including Róza Radnóti, Eszter Zemlényi, the Tourte String Quartet, and two Czech musicians: Eduard Šístek, who is a cellist with the Czech Philharmonic, and Jan Vojtek, who studies the piano at the Liszt Academy.
