ANNIVERSARY

When I started elementary school at the same time I started  learning music.   When I could already read the notes,  I began learning to play an instrument. In 1964 a children's choir was set up in the music school. I had a membership here until the end of my secondary school years. 

April, 1967

In the choir we sang many beautiful classical pieces.  We had a lot of fun and I still have friends from this period.

Our conductor was a young man, who  finished the music college at that time. He had the first workplace in  the  music  school. So we grew up together. He was the leader for 23 years. After that he got a possibility to work in Finland with a Finnish children’s choir. So he moved there with her family for some years.  His wife was a choir member, a talented pianist. They have four children, All of them are well-known musicians. Gergely plays the piano, Tibor is a cellist, Bence plays the bassoon and Bernadett plays the flute. Gergely received the Kossuth prize when he was 30 years old. He  was appointed a citizen of honor in his native town of Vác.

 The choir still exists  after several name changes nowadays.

In April, I got a  phone call, a celebration of the foundation  the choir was organised. It will be the  50th birthday.

I was glad that I was going to meet old friends. A little concert was organised where we sang the old pieces. 

The conductor - who is 75 years old today - is still active and also very kind. 

Many of  the old members have chosen professions of music or they are music teachers.  After the concert there was a little reception  in a good mood.  

I hope this will be repeated again and we don't need wait another 50 years, because we don't have so much time already.

KALOTASZEG

Last weekend saw a beautiful show in the Hungarian Heritage House. A programme was the dances from Kalotaszeg. The Hungarian Heritage House is a national institution founded in 2001 with the purpose of preserving and promoting Hungarian folk tradition.

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble founded in 1951,  is devoted to collecting the folklore treasury of the Carpathian Basin and presenting it on stage. The Ensemble's repertoire  related to folk tradition: historical music, authentic folk music and dance,  traditional-based contemporary dance-shows.

The Royal Vigadó building at the time of the Turkish occupation, one, built by the Turks  storehouse, and later was an arsenal.   The end of the 19th  century, rapidly growing bourgeoisie expressed the need to also be Vigadó in Buda.  The citizens of Buda in 1892, was first asked in writing from the leadership of   Capital of Culture Palace of similar structure Pest Concert Hall, where their meetings, keep their amusement. . In 1894 he finally solved the problem:  the armory, which was suitable for the location of the prospective Buda Vigadó building. The main street - Corvin Square - School Street side of the triangle bounded by the city purchased the adjacent land as well. In 1897, the capital of the General Assembly of the public tender for the building, which won Kallina Mor and son in law. The architects were very difficult before, because it was not easy to satisfy the needs of many, theaters, libraries and other cultural purposes and building design for a specified block. Their task is finally resolved well. The design competitions in 1896 and two years later, after the construction, begun in the spring of 1898, and the following autumn building has a floor area of 800 négyszögöl structure was in place.

The built between 1898 and 1900, two-storey, fully furnished, tympanum, dome-like building with a mansard tetőfelépítménnyel, especially in the neo-Renaissance style that bears the marks of the disease is characterized by an eclectic style.  The door and window framing the sills also in Italy (Rome, Florence) Renaissance palota építészetből known solutions.

The house has two decorated (Corvin Square and Main Street) and a subordinate (the School Street) was a facade. The building to the south, in the direction you're Corvin tér. Middle simple array wings attached. On the first floor a large, semicircular, circular windows on the second floor were installed. These windows framing the source of ornate, baroque character.

Old photographs show that the building was a main street at the corner cafe, the restaurant and School streets. The eclectic look is relatively simple to stunning art nouveau interior decor compensated. The impressive spacious lobby decorated with marble columns, karst, it wide marble staircase to the first floor. Illuminated by hundreds of lights along the stairs, the inner walls are painted pale green.  The cafe downstairs, upstairs 400 people were in the restaurant .The first floor is a 350 square meter main hall housed. The room is perfect for organizing balls Wall surfaces of large mirrors .  On the side of the streets parallel wings further small rooms, interior view corridors, lounges, clubs and reading rooms, card room opened. On the upper floors of four private apartments were created.

The building was the 1900th on January 20, was handed over by Mayor .

The 306-seat ballroom, later converted into a theater. Today, it is home to the theater in the first row of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, who are more than 120 times each year occur here. Today, the building's many functions: the Concert Hall was replaced by the Hungarian Institute for Culture and Heritage House.

The building was reconstructed in 2007. The work has clearly was the last renovation of the exterior forties, took place after 1945. The war caused serious damage restoration was thorough, but it will not restore the original state, but also sought to develop a much simpler building. Solutions of the original building plans were easy to follow and retrieve archival material. This is important because the biggest part is not destroyed more contemporary images, maybe the contemporary imagery plenty of documented Corvin tér main facade of the exception.

The result of the reconstruction of the building can be seen. The sills are missing from the statues were returned to the tympanum above is also missing the mythological statues. Opened the front wheels ablaknyílásait previously bricked, so the building was open to the Corvin tér. Back into the ground floor of a former great cafe and restaurant windows. The main entrance is re-covered driveway. The total external refurbishment of the interior renovation will hopefully be acceptable.

In 2011 the building was declared a national monument

Kalotaszeg is a region in Transylvania comprising around 40 villages with Hungarian and Hungarian-Romanian mixed population, located among the mountains that separate the Transylvanian Basin from the Hungarian Great Plain.

In the second half of the 19th century it was perhaps in the villages of Kalotaszeg that folk art flourished in the richest and most varied forms: costume, painted furniture, woodcarving, embroidery, weaving and a great many genres producing minor objects, vocal and instrumental music, dance, and festive customs all existed side by side and intertwined. .Even nowadays West-Romania is one of the location where people keep the old transylvanian hungarian folk traditions alive.

At an early stage only the young girls' and women's blouses were decorated with hand embroidering. Later skirts,  other clothing and step by step tablecloths and towels became more and more fancy. Of course these were only used occasionally on holidays since people treasured these things back in those days in the poor world.

I didn’t know it, maybe others didn”t either.

 I think, many people recognize the German national anthem. Usually I like to  listen to the symphonies and oratories of Haydn. I know that he had a  Hungarian connection.  He lived in Eisenstadt several decades. (at that time it was also Hungary)  He was a conductor at  Prince Esterhazy court. I was in his  birthplace in Rohrau 

and I saw his grave in Eisenstadt. (His funeral and the stolen skull,  are another story).

Haydn was an authentic Austrian composer. I was listening to a concert

on DVD recently. I overheard a melody and I thought that I already know it. I read the brochure on the  DVD  about what  it. Is it  was Haydn C dur (Kaiser)  quartet.

 In 1797,when he returned from  the second  concert of London  - because the British national anthem (God Save Our Gracious King) was  very  popular there – Haydn composed music, an  anthem for the emperor, it's  called : Gott erhalte Franz der Kaiser, ( a congratulation for  emperor Ferenc I. )  based on a Croatian folksong. 

The poem was by  Leopold Haschka. The next emperor was Ferdinand, so he needed to rewrite  a poem with the new first name. Then came Ferenc  József  and once more a new first name was needed. There are several kinds of texts, but  the people of Vienna didn’t like them. Then there was a competition for a new text. The condition was: it was forbidden to write a first name in the text. The final text of the anthem was written by Seidl. Finally, it was the text of the anthem  until 1918.  (One interesting thing: The emperor anthem was played on the funeral of Otto von Habsburg in Vienna in 2011.) This melody is the

national anthem of Germany  to this date. The text was added to by

Hoffmann von Fallersleben  in 1922. 

The anthem consists of three stanzas. The first one – was also sung during the Nazi era  – in European countries it caused revulsion.  Women’s organisations protested against the second stanza in  Europe. Therefore  only the third stanza is sung as a national anthem in German practically since 1991.

John Lennon's exhibition

The musician who played in the Beatles would be 72 years old on 9 October, in 2012. It will be 32 years ago on the same date that Mark David Chapman killed him in New York. The memorial exhibition to be held in Szeged in 2012 is to declare that Lennon's music will never be out of date.


The material borrowed from the collection of the German private collector, Michael-Andreas Wahle, is titled The Art of John Lennon. It is clear for the first sight that what the exhibition focuses on this time is not the musician, but the caricature artist. The funny drawings he did in just a matter of minutes are less known for people, even for his most faithful fans. Lennon was noticed for his illustrations and caricatures even before he became famous as a musician, though he often portrayed his teachers this way. Due to his talent, he was awarded a place at the Liverpool Academy of Arts, he attended from 1957 to 1960. He left school for becoming a Beatle. Nevertheless, his love of drawing accompanied him to the day of his death.

The exhibition in Szeged offers over 80 objects to be seen. The drawings on display by Lennon are mostly from the 1960s, but the visitors will find some of his personal belongings, as well as photos of him and his first wife, Cynthia Lennon and his second wife Yoko Ono, in addition to posters, records etc.

Jubilee

50 years ago on 21. April The Beatles debuted at the Cavern Club in Liverpool :)

La semaine dernière / Last week / Letzte Woche

La semaine dernière, j'ai participé à la réunion d'avocat à côté de la frontière autrichienne à Sopron. Dernière Octobre j'ai écrit un post en détail sur la ville ici.

Hôtel Siesta était pratique, l'offre abondante à des prix raisonnables. Nous avons entendu de nombreuses présentations intéressantes, professionnellement signifie beaucoup. Dans l'intervalle, a réussi à faire un petit voyage à travers la frontière dans la ville de Eisenstadt.

Samedi soir, c'est juste que je suis rentré, vous êtes allé à un concert.

Zsuzsa (Susan) Koncz est ma génération, 3 ans plus tard, il chantait pendant 50 ans, mais cela ne veut pas dire que ce soit. Sa voix est la même que dans les années passées. Les paroles de chansons est important, cela peut être mieux comprise en hongrois. Zsuzsa est une chanteuse hongroise, née le 7 mars 1946. Sa carrière a commencée en 1962 avec le groupe Oméga et inclut le rock & roll, le folk, le country, la musique populaire et la chanson. Depuis la deuxième moitié des années soixante elle a chanté avec le groupe Illés et avec cet ensemble elle a enregistré ses 5 premiers albums. Au cours des années quatre-vingt elle a été accompagnée par le groupe Fonograf. Dans le monde allemand elle est aussi connue.
Zsuzsa Koncz n'a jamais été impressionné par la pression commerciale ou politique. Elle était très populaire et n'a pas hésité à chanter des thèmes politiquement sensibles - quelquefois d'une façon cachée. En 1983 elle a enregistré Karpathyek Lany (la Fille et le Village), sur les événements tragiques pendant l'Insurrection de Budapest en 1956. Son oeuvre a reçu beaucoup de prix en Hongrie et en France elle a reçu la décoration la plus haute possible: l’Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur. Le 1 mai 2004 elle a apparu sur scène pour le concert Une Fête pour Tout le monde à Zittau en Allemagne, pour célébrer le premier jour de l'adhésion à l'Union Européenne de la Hongrie et de neuf autres pays.
La rose Jaune...
Cet chanson a été écrites et chantées sous le régime de János Kádár. Elles l’ont été avec poésie et doigté, en tenant compte de la « réalité » politique du moment pour éviter l’interdiction. D’autres groupes musicaux écrivains, cinéastes ont fait de même. Ces chansons étaient un point de ralliement de l’opposition démocratique de cette période. Il est fort intéressant de voir que ces chansons sont aujourd’hui le symbole de la défense des libertés pour les jeunes hongrois qui n’ont pas connu cette époque. La présence parmi ces jeunes, des anciens de l’opposition démocratique les plus déterminés est sans doute d’une grande importance.

Tu crois que la rose jaune s’ouvrira encore,
Tu crois que nous accepterons les mensonges
Tu crois que nous pardonnerons tout toujours
Tu crois que nous nierons nos rêves
Qu’il serait beau d’être ensemble parmi les fleurs, ma chérie
Il n’y a plus de fleurs, ni toi même
Pourquoi avons nous laissé les choses comme ça
Ne crois pas que cela est bon comme ça,
n’importe qui le dit
Ne crois pas que tout va bien,
n’importe qui veut t’attraper
Ne crois pas que nous sommes changés par un mot d’ordre
Ne crois pas que la rose jaune va encore s’ouvrir ….

Last week I took part in a lawyer's meeting next to the Austrian border in Sopron.
Last October I wrote a post in detail about the city here .
Hotel Siesta was convenient , the abundant supply at reasonable prices. We heard many interesting presentations, professionally meant a lot. In the meantime, managed to make a small trip across the border at city Eisenstadt.
Saturday evening, just that I came home, you went to a concert.
Zsuzsa (Susan) Koncz is my generation, 3 years later he was singing for 50 years, but this does not say about anyone. His voice is the same as in the past years.
The lyrics of songs is important, this can best be understood in Hungarian
Here you can read about it in English and German.


Letzte Woche war ich in einem Sitzung des Anwalts bei der österreichischen Grenze in Sopron. Im Oktober letzten Jahres schrieb ich ausführlich über die Stadt. Das Hotel Siesta war bequem, die reichliche Versorgung zu angemessenen Preisen. Wir hörten viele interessante Vorträge, professionell sehr viel bedeutet. In der Zwischenzeit gelungen, einen kleinen Ausflug über die Grenze ist in Eisenstadt.
Samstag Abend, nur dass ich nach Hause kam, ging man zu einer Koncert. Zsuzsa (Shusha)Koncz ist meiner Generation, 3 Jahre später wird sie für 50 Jahre lang auf der Bühne, aber nicht über jemanden sagen. Seine Stimme ist die gleiche wie in der Vergangenheit. Die Texte der Songs sind wirklich verstehen, in ungarische Sprache.

Day of Hungarian Culture

The Day of Hungarian Culture in Hungary since 1989, is celebrated on January 22 in memory of that - of the manuscript suggests that Kölcsey this day in 1823 clarified the manuscript off check at the National Anthem.



Himnusz" (in English: Hymn) – a song beginning with the words Isten, áldd meg a magyart (God, bless the Hungarian) – is a musical poetic prayer that serves as the official national anthem of Hungary. True to its title, Himnusz presents a more solemn and dignified tone than many other lively national anthems. It was adopted in 1844 and the first stanza is sung at official ceremonies. The words were written by Ferenc Kölcsey, a nationally renowned poet in 1823, and its currently official musical setting was composed by the romantic composer Ferenc Erkel, . The poem bore the subtitle "A magyar nép zivataros századaiból" ("From the rough centuries of the Hungarian people"); it is often argued that this subtitle – by emphasizing past rather than contemporary national troubles – was added expressly to enable the poem to pass Habsburg censorship. The full meaning of the poem's text is evident only to those well acquainted with Hungarian history.



Ferenc Kölcsey: HYMN
Translated by WILLIAM N. LOEW (1881)

O, my God, the Magyar bless
With Thy plenty and good cheer!
With Thine aid his just cause press,
Where his foes to fight appear.
Fate, who for so long did'st frown,
Bring him happy times and ways;
Atoning sorrow hath weighed down
Sins of past and future days.

By Thy help our fathers gained
Kárpát's proud and sacred height;
Here by Thee a home obtained
Heirs of Bendegúz, the knight.
Where'er Danube's waters flow
And the streams of Tisza swell
Árpád's children, Thou dost know,
Flourished and did prosper well.

For us let the golden grain
Grow upon the fields of Kún,
And let Nectar's silver rain
Ripen grapes of Tokay soon.
Thou our flags hast planted o'er
Forts where once wild Turks held sway;
Proud Vienna suffered sore
From King Mátyás' dark array.

But, alas! for our misdeed,
Anger rose within Thy breast.
And Thy lightnings Thou did'st speed
From Thy thundering sky with zest.
Now the Mongol arrow flew
Over our devoted heads;
Or the Turkish yoke we knew,
Which a free-born nation dreads.

O, how often has the voice
Sounded of wild Osman's hordes,
When in songs they did rejoice
O'er our heroes' captured swords!
Yea, how often rose Thy sons,
My fair land, upon Thy sod,
And Thou gavest to these sons,
Tombs within the breast they trod!

Though in caves pursued he lie,
Even then he fears attacks.
Coming forth the land to spy,
Even a home he finds he lacks.
Mountain, vale—go where he would,
Grief and sorrow all the same—
Underneath a sea of blood,
While above a sea of flame.

'Neath the fort, a ruin now,
Joy and pleasure erst were found,
Only groans and sighs, I trow,
In its limits now abound.
But no freedom's flowers return
From the spilt blood of the dead,
And the tears of slavery burn,
Which the eyes of orphans shed.

Pity, God, the Magyar, then,
Long by waves of danger tossed;
Help him by Thy strong hand when
He on grief's sea may be lost.
Fate, who for so long did'st frown,
Bring him happy times and ways;
Atoning sorrow hath weighed down
All the sins of all his days.



The opening event of Liszt Year 2011 will feature a joint concert by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir performing three Liszt pieces in Budapest's Palace of Arts. The Philharmonics and the Choir will then give a concert in Brussels in March. In a Liszt Year highlight event the composer's only opera, Don Sanche, will be performed in July in the German town of Bayreuth, where Liszt was buried in 1886.
Another outstanding event will be the World Liszt Day to be held on October 22, the anniversary of the composer's birthday. On that day Liszt's grand oratorio, Christus, will be performed in concert halls around the world from Paris to Seoul.
Other programmes in Budapest include the Liszt Marathon offering classical music and crossover concerts in May and the Liszt and Europe international chamber music festival in the autumn.

He arrived from Russia in his Offenbach travelling carriage, regarded as a novelty, and of which he had two… These carriages were greatly admired. Provided with every luxury, every amazing comfort, they served as a salon and dining-room by day and a bedroom by night.” We can read in Liszt’s contemporary biography about the mobile accommodation used by the artist who criss-crossed Europe many times in the course of his career, which was well suited to the citizen of the world at home almost everywhere, and to the lifestyle of this wandering romantic. Liszt did, in fact, feel at home in many different regions of the continent, travelling between the countries, kingdoms and principalities of a Europe that in many respects was even more diverse than it is today. The performing virtuoso delighted in this colourful variety, the striking features and sound characteristics of the national cultures; the attentive and sensitive composer understood and made use of them. As a result the beloved melodies of a whole host of nations can be heard in his piano pieces: old Hussite songs and Neapolitan canzone, Spanish rondo and festive polonaise, God Save the Queen, and naturally a whole series of Hungarian songs and rhapsodies. As a young man Liszt became a true citizen of the world in the liberal atmosphere of Parisian artistic society, and later as the musical leader of the principality of Weimer he staunchly preserved his European outlook and his grandly confident ease of manner, just as later as resident of the “eternal city”, or as a piano professor in Budapest. His was a truly international career: he wrote a French opera (Don Sanche, composed when he was still in his early teens), he established a German music society and a Hungarian academy of music, and like the many concert venues and awards, Liszt’s generous charity knew no borders – from Hamburg to Paris, from Bonn to Budapest. It would appear that the great man’s love life also demonstrated his ability to transcend linguistic and ethnic (as well as social) differences, but his international host of students was at least as convincing evidence of his constant openness and lack of prejudice. Perhaps the most eloquent proof of this openness was Liszt’s activity in Weimar: in the city that had almost entirely lost its colour after the death of Goethe he had the works of the most progressive German composers of the time performed, as well as compositions by Berlioz and Verdi, and even in 1877, well after his official departure, he used his prestige to have the world première of Camille Saint-Saëns’s opera, the still popular Samson and Delila, held in Weimar. And yet our kinsman everywhere you go!” reads the second line of Vörösmarty’s Ode to Liszt already cited above, and the musician’s entire long life bore witness to the soundness of the poet’s trust. Because although this son of Doborján never became proficient in the Hungarian language, Franz Liszt never forgot his national allegiance and patriotic duty. “It is my lodestar that one day Hungary will be able to point to me with pride,” he once wrote, while in another letter he summed up his active patriotism eager to be of use: “The essential thing for me can be summed up thus: as I was born in Hungary it is fitting that they should benefit here, however slightly, from my musical talent. Rather than flaunting my patriotism with empty phrases, I am striving to accomplish the tasks that go with it.”

Samstag / Samedi / Saturday

Mein Sohn Örs hat am Samstag für ein Paar Tage von England nach Hause angekommen. ( Nach die 10-jährigen Aufenthalt im Ausland, es ist ein eingängige Thema sowohl: zu Hause in Ungarn oder zu Hause im Ausland :)) . Natürlich wartete ich am Flughafen. Glücklicherweise ist die Maschine am Nachmittag pünktlich angekommen, weil wir hatten für uns ein Abendsprogramm . Wir sind packten aus und ging zum Abendessen. Ich denke so, Sie glaubt es nicht, dass die Luftreise in diesen Tagen ist so schnell, wie in der Phantasie.
Es ist wahr, dass die Flugreise selbst nicht mehr als 2 Stunden, aber die Abreise war morgens um 10 Uhr von Hause und wir kamen nach Hause in Budapest um 18 Uhr. Eine kleine Verschnaufpause, nachdem wir in ein nahe gelegenes Restaurant zum Abendessen gegangen, dann zur Kettenbrücke der Pester Seite gingen . Wir kamen ein bisschen früher, damit auch dort fanden wir die Reste des Volksmessegelände, es war im nachmittags.



Der Grund, warum wir ging - ein Konzert - um 21 Uhr gestartet. Eines der beliebtesten Musiker für Örs Felix Lajko und ihre Freunden gab ein große Show neben mehreren tausender Zuschauer bei Donau-ufer. Es war eine einstündige Vorlesung und Zugabe noch eine halbe Stunde. Ich weiß nicht sagen, gefällt mir es für mich oder nicht, ist es schwer zu sagen, aber sicher, dass die Jungen und nicht so Jungen aus Vojvodina können eine Atmosphäre, die das Publikum war in Ekstase, nicht zu erwähnen, Virtuosität ihre Spiele in Geige verzaubert. Ich empfehle, um jeder sollte einmal zu hören.



On Saturday my son Örs came home for a couple of days from England. (After 10 years of living overseas, it is hard to decide whether 'home' is in Hungary or abroad :)). Of course, I waited for him at the airport. Fortunately his plane arrived in time in the afternoon, because we had an evening program. We prepared ourselves and went out for dinner. It is amazing how fast air travel is in these days. It is true that the flight itself didn't take more than two hours, but their departure was at 10 o'clock in the morning from home and we arrived at home in Budapest by 18 o'clock. After a little breather we went to a restaurant near to us for dinner, then we went to the Chain Bridge on the Pest side. We arrived a bit earlier to our program, just in time to see the remains of the People's Exhibition Centre, which was held in the afternoon.

The reason why we went there was a concert, which started at 9 o'clock in the evening. One of Örs's favorite musicians, Lajko Felix and his friends gave a great show, in front of several thousands of spectators on the quay of the Danube. The concert took one hour and a half. It's hard to say and decide whether I like it or not, but I have to admit that these guys from Vojvodina created a special atmosphere. The audience was in ecstasy, not to mention how their virtuosity enchanted their violin's play. I recommend to everyone to listen to them at least once.

Mon fils Örs est arrivé samedi pour quelques jours de l'Angleterre à Hongrie. (Dans ses 10 ans vivant à l'étranger, ont thème accrocheur à la fois à la maison en Hongrie ou à l'étranger à la maison:)). Bien sûr, j'ai attendu à l'aéroport. Heureusement, la machine est dans l'après-midi, arrivé à l'heure, parce que nous avions un programme de soirée pour nous. Nous avons deballé et sortit pour dîner. Vous ne croyez pas que Voyage air est de nos jours aussi vite que l'imagination. Il est vrai que le vol lui-même n'a pas plus de deux heures, mais leur départ le matin à 10 heure à partir de sa maison et nous sommes arrivé à l'appartement à Budapest à 18 heures. Après une peu pause nous sommes allés à un restaurant voisin pour le dîner, s'est ensuite rendu au pont des Chaînes sur le côté Pest. Nous sommes arrivés un peu plus tôt, alors même là nous avons trouvé les restes de la Exposition d'art folklorique, qui il a été dans l'après-midi.

Le motif pourquoi nous sommes allés - un concert - à 21 heures a commencé. L'un des musiciens les plus populaires pour mon fils, ils sont Lajko Felix et leurs amis ont donné un grand spectacle, en plus de plusieurs milliers de spectateurs dans la rive Danube. Ce fut une conférence d'une heure et en ajoutant une demi-heure plus.Il est difficile de dire il est plaire pour moi ou non, cependant, veiller à ce que les garçons (de la Vojvodine ) peuvent une atmosphère que le public était en extase, sans parler de la jeux virtuosité les violons enchanteront. Je recommande pour tout le monde doit écouter une fois.

Hier soir /Gestern Abend / Yesterday evening

Nous étions hier soir, un Csango balle. Nous n'avons pas dansé jusqu'à l'aube, mais le programme était très belle. Nous avons rencontré notre amis csangos aussi.
Qui sont les csangos? Pouvez-vous lire ici.



Wir waren gestern Abend, ein Csango Ball. Wir tanzten nicht bis zum Morgengrauen, doch das Programm war sehr schön. Wir traf unsere csango Bekannten auch.
Wer sind die csango ? Kann man hier lesen.



We were yesterday evening, a ball Csángó. We don't danced until dawn, but the program was very beautiful. We met our friend Csango too. Who are the Csango? Can you read here.

Le bâtiment sera bientôt clos, entièrement rénové, à cette occasion sette semaine à titre gratuit ou à très bas prix ont pu écouter des concerts. L'Orchestre philharmonique national et le chef d'orchestre Zoltan Kocsis a inventé un idée fou, "Beethoven non-stop" de l'ensemble voulu jouer des 9 symphonies a partir de l'après-midi jusqu'à le soir tard, dans le trois details (1-3, 4-6, 7-9)



J'ai réussi acheter un billet pour le première concert, il se commencé l'heures 15. A duré deux heures le spectacle, a été une expérience formidable.

Il s'agit d'être entendu, pas d'regarder:))

Concert

J'étais à un concert vendredi à Esztergom.
I was in a concert Friday in Esztergom.



Felix Lajkó jouer du violon .
Felix Lajkó played violin



Félix Lajkó, originaire de la minorité hongroise de Voïvodine (Serbie) est l'archétype du musicien autodidacte qui, à la seule force de ses dons, mua d'adolescent cultivant son ennui dans un bourg ingrat à un statut de star du violon dans une région qui en compte tant. C'est, en effet, en arrivant à Budapest qu'il abandonne le citera (épinette hongroise) et, joueur d'instinct, s'implique dans les creusets musicaux les plus novateurs de la capitale. En l'occurrence : le fameux Dresch Quartet (au croisement du be-bop et des musiques transylvaines qui contribuera à l'émergence d'un jazz spécifiquement hongrois) avec lequel il grave son premier disque en 1993 pour la radio hongroise ; le Ritual Nova, la formation d'Attila Lörinszki, flamboyant virtuose de la contrebasse ; enfin, l'ensemble Makuz, un groupe dirigé par György Szabados, médecin, pianiste, oppositionnel politique, qui sera pour beaucoup dans l'affirmation stylistique du violoniste. Après ces expériences, à l'écoute de ce qui se fait aux frontières, Félix Lajkó s'émancipe...

From the Bush. The second album from Felix's favourite forest. From time-to-time we need to realize that there is no better studio than nature itself. The tracks were recorded last summer-autumn with Anti Brasnyó on viola. Short moods, strong tunes, colourful pieces characterise this nature inspired compilation. It is an essence that serves as basics to the improvisations of last years' concerts. A very mature, ripe print of the work of these two musicians. It's a summary of three years of work, partly rather free spirited, melancholic at times.

Une petite démonstration.
