The album SZINERGIA celebrates the interconnectedness of composers who, despite leading different lives, found common ground in the dance rhythms and folk traditions that inspired their music. At the heart of this album is Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Kammerkonzert for clarinet, string quartet, and string orchestra, a poignant homage to Zoltán Kodály. Hartmann’s work epitomizes the synergy of musical ideas, blending the spirit of
Hungarian folk music with a modern, introspective voice.

Zoltán Kodály’s Kálló Double Dance and Epigrams Nos. 3 & 6 showcase his profound connection to Hungarian traditions. These pieces, reimagined through contemporary arrangements, reveal the timeless nature and the vibrant energy of his melodies.

Léo Weiner’s Divertimento No. 1 “Old Hungarian Dances” adds a nostalgic yet lively dimension to the album. The expert arrangements by Lajos Sárközy and István Várdai breathe new life into these classic dances, highlighting the enduring appeal of Hungarian folk music.

Paco de Lucía’s Callejón del Muro brings a touch of Andalusian passion to the collection. Pablo Barragán’s arrangement seamlessly integrates the fiery flamenco rhythms into the album’s narrative, illustrating the universal language of dance that transcends cultural boundaries.

Béla Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances, arranged for clarinet, cimbalom, and strings by Jonas Dominique in dedication to Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst, further enriches the album’s tapestry. Bartók’s dedication to preserving folk music traditions shines through in these lively, evocative dances, demonstrating his deep connection to the musical heritage of Eastern Europe.

Performed by clarinetist Pablo Barragán, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra under the musical direction of István Várdai, and the Sárközy Trio, SZINERGIA presents a rich, multifaceted soundscape. Each piece highlights the unique voice of its composer while
uncovering the profound connections that link them. SZINERGIA is a celebration of the unity found in diversity. Through the lively rhythms and evocative melodies, listeners are invited to experience the harmonious dance of parallel lives, bound together by the shared threads of musical inspiration.
