Kai Frömbgen, Szabolcs Zempléni & Mariann Marczi Presented by Liszt Academy

Kai Frömbgen, professor of oboe at Düsseldorf’s Robert Schumann University, is guest of the fascinating chamber recital featuring, among others, two trios with unconventional instrumental line-up: oboe, horn and piano. Of 19th century works written for this formation, there is no doubt that the trios of Herzogenberg and Reinecke are the most significant. The former, Heinrich von Herzogenberg, was a leading figure of the Romantic Bach renaissance, who was in a close (and not entirely harmonious) relationship with Johannes Brahms. His works are performed in Hungary only very rarely, even though Brahms was just one of the several people who spoke publicly about his great talent and craftsmanship. The earliest work on the programme is Beethoven’s F major sonata, which ever since the famous appearance by Beethoven in Buda (1800) we feel is a little bit ours as well. It is performed by Szabolcs Zempléni and Mariann Marczi.
