Jenő Hubay, Farkas Ferenc, Sándor Veress, Andor Kovach - Duo Lengyel

Review by Mónica Mil-Homens

Duo Lengyel is a classical music album that features the works of Jenő Hubay, Farkas Ferenc, Sándor Veress, and Andor Kovach. The album showcases the talents of two of Hungary's finest musicians, violinist Zsuzsanna Lengyel and pianist Balázs Lengyel.

The album opens with Hubay's "Scenes de la Csarda," a fiery and energetic piece that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The duo's performance is passionate and precise, with Zsuzsanna's violin soaring over Balázs' nimble piano playing.

Ferenc's "Sonata for Violin and Piano" is a more contemplative piece, with the duo displaying a delicate touch and a deep understanding of the music. Veress' "Sonata for Violin and Piano" is a haunting and atmospheric piece that showcases the duo's ability to create a rich and evocative sound.

Finally, Kovach's "Five Pieces for Violin and Piano" closes out the album on a high note. The pieces are playful and lively, with Zsuzsanna and Balázs trading off solos and playing off each other's energy.

Zsuzsanna Lengyel's virtuosic violin playing is matched by Balázs Lengyel's deft and sensitive piano playing, resulting in an album that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. Fans of classical music will not want to miss this incredible collaboration.
