Sándor Szilvágyi
Featuring:
Staccato Song Ensemble
Conductor: Zsófia Fekete
Anna Granik - piano
Series editor and host: Ede Roth
Pieces by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Ginastera, Ponce and Villa-Lobos
Sándor Szilvágyi honors two guitarrist composers, Manuel María Ponce (1892-1948) and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) in our April concert.
Manuel Maria Ponce's great merit is that he incorporated the slowly forgotten Mexican folk music into music education and concert halls, reflected in the harmony and the melodies of his works.
Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, an Italian composer wrote nearly a hundred pieces for guitarists. In 1939, he emigrated to America, and from then on he wrote Hollywood film scores, though he also composed concertos for Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorski.
