Benedek Horváth’s first album. This young Hungarian-born pianist’s anthology offers us a journey between two centuries, two aesthetics, at the heart of his native country’s music. He forges original links between Franz Liszt, a major figure of European musical Romanticism in the nineteenth century, and Béla Bartók, one of the high priests of musical Modernism at the beginning of the twentieth century. Benedek Horváth reveals a dynamic, refined and subtly timbred style of playing.
