We would like to inform our audience that according to the government decision effective from 11 November 2020, no public events can be held, so we are unable to hold concerts at the Liszt Academy with an audience. However, our audience will not be left without a concert experience, as most of our performances will be held and broadcast online in our Digital Concert Hall, and most of the concerts of the orchestras organizing concert series at the Liszt Academy will also be available online.

Kitagawa Chisa Chamber Recital 
Presented by Liszt Academy
Prokofiev: Sonata for Two Violins in C major, Op. 56
Bartók: Rhapsody No. 1, BB 94a
Beethoven: Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 1 in D major, Op. 12/1
Kitagawa Chisa (violin), Vilmos Szabadi (violin), Brigitta Taraszova (piano)
A Budapest audience has already had the opportunity of hearing Kitagawa Chisa at the 2017 Bartók World Competition, where the young Japanese artist also won the special prize of the Liszt Academy. At this sonata recital, the 22-year-old, hugely gifted violinist playing in the company of Brigitta Taraszova and Vilmos Szabadi first performs Sergei Prokofiev’s C major sonata unusually scored for double-violin: the movement order of the composition dating from 1930 may have a Baroque, experimental-like feel, yet it is still very much of the 20th century. Motifs and movement titles of the Bartók work, Rhapsody No. 1, from just a few years earlier (1926), conjure up old Hungarian music: Slow and Fast (Energetic). The 1798 violin sonata (keyed in D major) is not yet in the manner of ‘titan’ Beethoven: in style, it actual evokes the two other giants of the First Viennese School, Haydn and Mozart. The master dedicated it to Antonio Salieri. This is the programme expressive of the performance style know-how, collaborative will, perceptiveness and virtuosity of Kitagawa Chisa.
