About the Programme

Béla Bartók, an unavoidable figure of Hungarian music history passed away 70 years ago, and the Béla Bartók Male Choir, which nurses his memory was founded in the year of the composer’s death, that is in 2015, it ’s celebrating its 70th anniversary.

The Italian-born Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842), who fulfilled his career in Paris, got the musician society's attention already in 1816, with his requiem, the one in C minor; rumour said that the fame of the piece had even reached Beethoven, who compared the composition of Cherubini, who was in good relation to Chopin and Rossini and as the leader of the Conservatoire created something significant on the field of music education and music politics, to Mozart’s work with the same title and genre. Then, however, for the composer’s second requiem, written for male choir and orchestra, one had to wait for almost two decades. The monumental composition, D minor in tone, was completed in 1836. The funeral mass, which was heard at the composer’s funeral, as well, seems to seize only the tragic side of death; it lacks the resignation and dissolution, typical for requiems. This outstanding work of the first half of the 19th century is an exciting treat not for only those interested of church music works and for those remembering  their loved ones, who passed away but for all music lovers an.

The concert is a co-production of the Béla Bartók Male Choir Foundation and the Pannon Philharmonic.
