This concert programme, which comprises two halves of very different genres and moods, is made whole by the featured artists. The richness of the programme promises to be a real travel experience in both time and space. The Slav songs of the first part of the evening are as yet not well known in Hungary but are gaining in popularity. This recital offers a glimpse into the world of Russian and Polish Romanticism: the romance-inspired works of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Moniuszko are complemented by the remarkable songs of Szymanowski. The second half is a selection of the most popular opera arias. After the intimate atmosphere of the first part of the programme, here the focus is on exploring the limits of vocal capabilities. Attila Fekete, one of the lead tenors at the Hungarian State Opera, has been a firm favourite of Budapesters for two decades; Lucyna Jarząbek came to the attention of Budapest audiences – and won their adoration – at the 2nd International Éva Marton Singing Competition.
