Double Bass Department A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Now it is the turn of double bassists, players of the deepest sounding stringed instrument, to take centre stage in the ‘Live’ series introducing departments of the academy and initiated by the Liszt Academy Concert Centre. During this concert the double bass (often considered the instrument ‘merely’ providing the base harmony) appears as a solo instrument; performers include teachers from the department Zsolt Fejérvári and Péter Kubina plus students. Interestingly, the programme not only gives us the better-known works such as Schumann’s Fantasiestücke originally written for clarinet and Leó Weiner’s Romance penned for cello and piano, but a couple of rarities: Microconcert by legendary bassist virtuoso Lajos Montag (1906–1997) and a curiosity from another important bass player, Bernhard Alt (1903–1945), Suite for Four Double Basses.
