Info zu The French Collection

The relationship between the three composers on this release is apparently linear, given that it is widely known how important Rameau was for Debussy, and how important Debussy was for Boulez. Yet in spite of the superficial differences between the music of Rameau and that of Boulez, and the good two hundred years that separate them, there is some deeper affinity. The relationship between the three composers is particularly striking in the light of the works on this album, and thanks to the fact that even Rameaus works are here played on a piano. The pieces are played by one of the most talented Hungarian pianists of his generation, József Balog.

József Balog, piano




József Balog
is one of the most talented pianists of his generation. This exceptionally gifted performer was surrounded by the astonishing heritage of the internationally well-known Hungarian piano tradition established by Franz Liszt, Ernst von Dohnányi and Béla Bartók. He is praised and compared to Horowitz and Earl Wild by critics and acknowledged by the audience for his brilliant technic and very deep, sensitive musicianship. Along with the standard piano repertoire, he plays jazz-influenced classical compositions, contemporary music, and works written by rarely played composers as well. He has also earned fame for premiering a large number of contemporary pieces and he regularly holds master courses at various prominent musical institutions.

For the last 20 years, he has given more than 1000 concerts as a soloist and chamber musician in more than 25 countries accross Europe, America and Asia.

He also achieved great success at the following festivals: Shanghai China International Arts Festival, Bellagio and Lago Maggiore Festival, Chopin Festival in Mallorca, Tansman Festival, Lisztomanias in Chateauroux, Schubertiade in Roskilde, Beethoven Festival in Zutphen, Spring Festival in Russia, Liszt Festival in Sopron and Ankara, Budapest Spring Festival and, on more than one occasion the Festival Academy Budapest, Kaposfest and the Beethoven Nights staged in Martonvásár. ​
