Dezső Ránki, Edit Klukon, Fülöp Ránki A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Dezső Ránki has been a defining figure on the domestic music scene for more than four decades; his listener-friendly intellectuality, sublime technical skills and virtually unequalled sensitivity lift him into the ranks of the greatest artists of the piano. The by now traditional four-hand and double piano productions developed together with his wife Edit Klukon nearly 20 years ago are characterized by perfected harmony and a fine attunement to each other; they are joined by the pianist couple’s son, Fülöp Ránki, who has proved his worth as a chamber partner. Composer Barnabás Dukay, who provides the raison d’être and musical backbone to the programme, can similarly be considered as a member of the family, albeit not in the sense of a blood relation but certainly from a music point of view. The meditative music of Dukay – particularly when performed by the Ránkis – is capable of bringing the listener to a trance-like state, and this transcendent experience links Dukay’s works with pieces by Bach, Couperin and Liszt as well.
