Overview
This compelling release from Musizszene Schweiz honors the legacy of the prominent Hungarian-Swiss composer Sándor Veress (1907–1992). A student of Bartók and Kodály, Veress became a bridge between Hungarian musical traditions and Western modernism. This album features three significant works spanning his career: the poignant Threnos (In memoriam Béla Bartók), the virtuosic Klarinettenkonzert, and the playful late-career Tromboniade. Performed by the Nordungarisches Sinfonieorchester Miskolc under the direction of Janos Meszaros, this collection provides a profound look into the evolving musical language of a master craftsman.
