Hungarian Summary:

A felvétel Magyarország egyik legkiválóbb, a dunakeszi Szent Mihály templomban található koncertorgonáján készült: a hangszert intonációja és egyedi felépítése alkalmassá teszi a XIX-XX. századi orgonairodalom tolmácsolására is.

Az albumot Bach zenéje nyitja, azonban élve a hangszer különleges hangzási lehetőségeivel, gerincét a romantikus, sőt a francia, későromantikus orgonazene nagyjai, Mendelssohn, Schumann, César Franck és Charles-Marie Widor kompozíciói adják. (Teleki Miklós)

Teleki Miklós – a dunakeszi Szent Mihály templom koncertorgonáján

English Summary:

The present recording was made on one of the most excellent concert organs in Hungary. The intonation and unique construction of the instrument makes it suitable for interpreting 19th and 20th century organ works, too. The album opens with the music of Bach but its main material, utilizing the special sound effects of the instrument, consists of compositions by romantic composers and works by late romantic French masters such as Mendelssohn, Schumann, Cesar Franck, and Charles-Marie Widor. Miklos Teleki received his degree in 1995 at the Liszt Academy of Music. Even before that he was winning prizes like the 1993 Budapest International Liszt Organ Competition. He taught for several years at the Siofok International Organ Masterclass, and has given first performances of a large number of contemporary Hungarian and international organ compositions. He gives 80-90 performanes a year, with regular appearances at St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest.
