Auer / Irnberger / Simon - Salon De Budapest - Super Audio CD

Thomas Albertus Irnberger, violin, and Pavel Kapar, piano, lead us with their album Salon de Budapest into the bourgeois salon of the late 19th century - an oasis amid the 'good old days' which weren't, of course, that good to begin with: mired turmoil, social inequalities, and wars as much and more than ever since. The invited audience were to listen to Hungarian dances by Brahms, Kodly or Rachmaninoff, Csrds' by Franz Lehr, Miska Hauser or Jeno Hubay, Romances, Fantasies and other melodies by Tchaikovsky, Leopold Auer, Carl Bohm or Joseph Joachim. Some songs from operettas by Lehr, Jeno Huszka, Emmerich Klmn and Pongrc Kacsh with the Hungarian soprano Brigitta Simon complete this musical visit to the Salon de Budapest.
