Zádor: Piano Quintet, Accordion Concerto, Suite for Brass Instruments & Hungarian Fantasy

Klaudiusz Baran (Accordion), David Pinter (violin), Richard Rozsa (cello), Anna Gorecka (piano), Budapest Symphony Orchestra MAV, Mariusz Smolij

Devoted to music that celebrated the human spirit, Eugene Zádor took pleasure in composing for unusual ensembles. One such example of what he called ‘underprivileged’ instruments was the accordion and his delightful concerto for the instrument is tonal but coloured by a communicative, contemporary vocabulary. As befits the man who was Miklós Rózsa’s exclusive film-score orchestrator, Zádor finds glorious sonority and colour in the Suite for Brass Instruments . The evocative smaller pieces have been arranged by Mariusz Smolij as has the characterful and wide-ranging Piano Quintet of 1933 that won the Hungarian National State Prize.
