Baroque and Art Nouveau – this, in essence, sums up the musical celebration shared by Csaba Tasi and the Harmónia String Quartet. Händel, Bach, Rameau, and Telemann were masters of the many faces of the Baroque era. Albinoni is often grouped with them, although his most famous piece, the Adagio, was later revealed to have been composed by a 20th-century musicologist, Remo Giazotto. Regardless of its origin, the piece continues to bring joy to many listeners. Louis Vierne served as the organist of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris at the dawn of the 20th century, while Dezső Antalffy-Zsiross was a professor of organ at the Liszt Academy of Music, and enjoyed a remarkable early career granted to very few. In his work, we can even catch a glimpse of how he perceived the world of spirituals – which were still largely unknown in Europe at the time. Come and discover it with us!
