Zsófia Csákány, piano
Dr. Edda Güntert, moderation
Poetic narrative art
The opening evening of the new ‘musica pura’ series offers a special concert experience: The founder of the new concert series, the musician Zsófia Csákány, who is well known in the region, will perform her own works for piano in the historic hall of Gutshof Güntert in Laufen. With ‘reFLEXIONS’, she follows in the tradition of the great piano cycles of the 19th century, especially those of Robert Schumann: Like Schumann, Csákány emphasises poetically dense storytelling over pure virtuosity. Csákány’s subtle atmospheric images and delicate depictions of nature depict inner and outer experiences and derive their unique tone from the composer’s Hungarian roots. The evening will open with an introduction by musica pura co-founder Dr Edda Güntert. Conversations over wine and sparkling wine will provide an enjoyable conclusion to the concert.
