Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 1 minute, this collection showcases the profound compositional skills of Veress, a Hungarian-Swiss composer whose works are less known but equally compelling.
The album opens with the three-movement "Musica concertante," a piece that explores a range of emotions through its sections titled "Improvisation," "Meditation," and "Action." Following this, the "Clarinet Concerto" unfolds in two movements, "Intonazione su tutti dodici toni" and "Danza immaginaria," offering a virtuosic display for the clarinet amidst a supportive string ensemble.
The final quarter of the album is dedicated to the "4 Danze transilvane" (Four Transylvanian Dances), each with its unique character and rhythm. These dances, titled "Lassu. Poco rubato," "Ugros. Allegretto," "Lejtos. Andantino," and "Dobbantos. Allegro vivace," provide a lively and folkloric conclusion to the album.
Veress's compositions are a testament to his ability to blend traditional influences with modern techniques, creating a sound that is both timeless and innovative. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rewarding listening experience that highlights the depth and versatility of Veress's musical vision.
