Péter Frankl, Miklós Perényi & Gergely Ittzés Presented by Liszt Academy

Péter Frankl and Miklós Perényi together on a concert stage: an exceptional event which would be regarded as a red letter day in any concert hall on any continent. The Liszt Academy is no exception, all the more so because both great musicians were raised within its walls and set off on their conquest of the world from here. The two senior masters are joined by flautist Gergely Ittzés as they present the arc of development in Haydn’s piano trios, from the performance of an early trio to another from his mature period. The opening work is the Brahms composition Sonata No. 1 for Cello and Piano in E minor, which brings to life the shifting and yet eternal partnership of these two instruments. Between the two Haydn trios, the principal part is given to Gergely Ittzés as he performs the variations series set to the moving song, the eighteenth, of the Miller’s Beautiful Daughter cycle.
