Concerto Armonico Budapest – Keyboard duel A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

In a world of globalized fast food restaurants and uniform Steinway pianos we tend to forget that there were times, for instance, the 18th century, when keyboard players could select from a far richer storeroom of instruments of various types, constructions, tones and styles. The C. P. E. Bach weekend organized by the Liszt Academy Concert Centre, which pays tribute to the most talented Bach son born 300 years ago, closes with a concert offering some genuine curiosities. The programme features a monumental and rarely performed harpsichord concerto by C. P. E. Bach followed by a new work by Miklós Spányi, artistic director of Concerto Armonico Budapest, which illustrates how to combine harpsichord and string orchestra in 21th century style and form. To wind up the programme, C. P. E. Bach’s double concerto for fortepiano and harpsichord. Liszt Academy professor András Kemenes will be Miklós Spányi’s musical partner in this rare keyboard duel.
