Júlia Pusker, Christoph Heesch & Marcell Szabó Presented by Liszt Academy

We tend to think of Edvard Grieg in terms of his orchestral works, songs and piano miniatures, whereas his chamber music oeuvre was narrow: a complete string quartet, three violin-piano sonatas and a cello sonata. Aside from these, he bequeathed to posterity merely a few salon works and two fragments, an unfinished string quartet and a solitary trio movement. Notwithstanding this, these few works are fine examples of his endeavour to weave Norwegian folk music characteristics into conventional compositional forms and styles. Three enormously gifted and ambitious young artists are tasked with performing these works that rarely feature on concert hall programmes. Júlia Pusker and Marcell Szabó attended the preparatory class of the Liszt Academy, then Pusker continued her studies at the Royal Academy of Music

 24-year-old, Berlin-born Christoph Heesch took classes from László Fenyő among others; he has played in top concert venues around the world and realizes his own musical meditations within the TONALi project.
