Zoltan Fejervari (piano)About
The first book of On an Overgrown Path is notable for its poetic titles – such as ‘Our evenings’, ‘They chattered like swallows’, ‘Unutterable anguish’ – which find expression in music of apparent folk-like innocence and sudden passions, which reach a powerful climax in the violent contrasts of the first book’s final piece, ‘The Barn-Owl has not flown away’. This is music of heartbreak and desolation hardly less moving in its way than the great scenas of love and abandonment which Janáček composed for his operatic heroines.
Stripped of such titles, the second book in On an Overgrown Path is more elusive in meaning, swinging between a gentle, Czech translation of Debussy’s Impressionist tonepainting and darker, more sinister currents of expression that run raw and angry in the Sonata which Janáček wrote to commemorate the death of a young man at the hands of the police in Prague during political protests in the autumn of 1905. From seven years later, the four-movement cycle of In the Mists recovers some of the Romantic melancholy of On an Overgrown Path, though its cathartic finale presents a stiff challenge to any pianist with its torrents of notes.
As the recipient of a prestigious Borletti-Buitoni award, the Hungarian pianist Zoltán Fejérvári is a solo, concerto and chamber-music pianist with several wellreceived recordings to his credit such as Liszt’s Malédiction and an album of Mozart violin sonatas in partnership with Ernő Kállai.
