About
The works that Kodály composed in this spirit during the interwar period now form part of the canon of orchestral and choral music – as for instance his Psalmus Hungaricus, the folk opera Háry János or the Dances of Galánta. But there is also a lesser-known Kodály who until 1918, almost unnoticed by the international music world, wrote chamber music whose boldness was met with much hostility in Hungary. At the centre of these works was the cello: the virtuosos emerging from the legendary master class of the cellist David Popper in Budapest introduced Kodály to the instrument's expressive and stylistic variety. But even for the master cellists of his time, the Sonata op.4 with piano, the Duet op.7 for violin and cello and, above all, the challenging Solo Sonata op.8 were expeditions into new technical and musical territory. Unusual multiple stopping, breakneck runs and abrupt changes of mood, not to mention the narrative power and presence demanded in the monologues and dialogues, create enormous challenges for the performer.
The French cellist Marc Coppey, who recently received international acclaim for his recording of Dmitri Shostakovich's cello concertos for audite, has invited two masters of their craft for this new recording of Kodály's ground-breaking pieces: the Hungarian violinist Barnabás Kelemen, who after winning numerous prizes became a professor at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest at the age of twenty-seven, and the Israeli pianist and composer Matan Porat, a pupil of Murray Perahia and Maria Joăo Pires at the New York Juilliard School, who today is an internationally renowned and sought-after chamber music partner and film composer.
