Although the 70-minute one-act piece is classified as a singspiel just as H\u00e1ry<\/em> is, the difference between the two works lies in the fact that H\u00e1ry<\/em> follows a main story, a narrative poem by the reform-era poet J\u00e1nos Garay entitled The Veteran<\/em>, while following the plot of The Spinning Room<\/em>, the audience correctly feels that the framing story \u2013 the escape of the suitor, followed by his capture, the consolation of the bride, the exposure of the rich lad, and finally the release of the innocent suitor \u2013 is a loosely structured sequence of events whose main function is to serve as a framework for a selection of folk songs \u2013 23 of them in all \u2013 to be performed in costume and with a set and acting. This is because The Spinning Room<\/em> is nothing other than the dramatic apotheosis of the Hungarian folk song: whereas in H\u00e1ry<\/em> all this takes place anecdotally in a self-deprecating and humorous form, here it is connected to the depiction of folk life, and, despite the cheerful or even comical episodes (such as A Big-Nosed Flea<\/em>), has a fundamentally serious tone. The soloists in the production \u2013 Atala Sch\u00f6ck,\u00a0 Zsolt Haja, Andrea Leh\u0151cz, Blanka Bede, Judit Varga-Szathm\u00e1ry, Botond \u00d3dor and Jen\u0151 D\u00e9k\u00e1n \u2013 are leading Hungarian singers and expert connoisseurs of the style.<\/p>\n Dear Audience,<\/p>\n Emerging from under the shadow of the coronavirus epidemic, this season has finally provided us with a calmer and more predictable environment, allowing the large-scale concerts by the Hungarian National Choir to successfully take place at last. Incorporating your feedback, we wish to continue our efforts to present our ensemble in the most diverse possible fashion next season as well.<\/p>\n The first of this series of four concerts will feature Liszt\u2019s most significant work: one that exceeds the boundaries of a standard oratorio. The Christus<\/em> oratorio is a gigantic work covering the entire liturgical year, with a symphonic orchestra, the soloists and, of course, the choir each playing a huge role. I myself have been preparing to conduct this masterpiece for decades, so it is a great honour to be able to take the stage in the company of such wonderful ensembles as the Hungarian National Choir and the Szent Istv\u00e1n Philharmonic. Incidentally, this performance is taking place in the Pesti Vigad\u00f3, the same venue where the work received its Hungarian premi\u00e8re, almost 150 years to the date after that event.<\/p>\n The second concert in our season ticket series promises to be a true musical and acoustic experience, as on this evening we will be singing Rachmaninov\u2019s a cappella cycle Vespers<\/em>. Since the work calls for unusual voice types (such as contrabasses), we are glad to be able to employ the special abilities of our ensemble.<\/p>\n Conducting this concert will be the Netherlands Radio Choir\u2019s talented young choirmaster, Benjamin Goodson.<\/p>\n After several years of planning, it is a great pleasure for us to finally be able to present Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s rarely heard Czech-language cantata The Spectre\u2019s Bride<\/em>. The singers performing the fairy-tale ballad under the baton of Tom\u00e1\u0161 Brauner are all excellent artists from the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n The final concert of the P\u00e1szti season ticket series concludes our musical journey with a programme of Hungarian music. This evening affords us the opportunity to hear Zolt\u00e1n Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s singspiel The Spinning Room<\/em> in concert version. Partnering with the Hungarian National Choir yet again will be the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, which is celebrating its centenary.<\/p>\n On behalf of my fellow artists and myself, I warmly welcome you to the P\u00e1szti subscription concerts for the 2023\/24 season!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Csaba Somos<\/p>\n Choirmaster of the Hungarian National Choir<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-121193","concerts","type-concerts","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["hu","en"],"languages":{"hu":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":{"alcim":"P\u00e1szti\/4 ","kiemelt_kep":{"ID":121194,"id":121194,"title":"2024.05.16","filename":"2024.05.16.png","filesize":1043223,"url":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16.png","link":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/koncertek\/szekely-fono-daljatek-egy-felvonasban\/2024-05-16\/","alt":"","author":"951590","description":"","caption":"","name":"2024-05-16","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":121193,"date":"2023-04-18 21:18:31","modified":"2023-04-18 21:18:31","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":560,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-300x88.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":88,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-768x224.png","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":187,"large":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-1024x299.png","large-width":640,"large-height":187,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-1536x448.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":448,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":560,"person-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-165x165.png","person-size-width":165,"person-size-height":165,"person-size-2":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-165x220.png","person-size-2-width":165,"person-size-2-height":220,"album-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-263x263.png","album-size-width":263,"album-size-height":263,"news-lead-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-360x203.png","news-lead-size-width":360,"news-lead-size-height":203,"director-index-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-359x450.png","director-index-size-width":359,"director-index-size-height":450,"person-lead-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-555x555.png","person-lead-size-width":555,"person-lead-size-height":555,"slider-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2024.05.16-1600x560.png","slider-size-width":1600,"slider-size-height":560}},"kiemelt_kep_en":null,"megjegyzes":"","esemeny_datum":"20240516","esemeny_idopontja":"7.30 pm","esemeny_vege":"8.50 pm","sajat_program":true,"esemeny_tipusa":["koncertek"],"esemeny_helyszine":{"ID":87584,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2016-09-08 08:02:37","post_date_gmt":"2016-09-08 08:02:37","post_content":"","post_title":"{:hu}Pesti Vigad\u00f3{:}{:en}Pesti Vigad\u00f3 Ceremonial Hall{:}","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pesti-vigado","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-10-22 08:33:35","post_modified_gmt":"2021-10-22 08:33:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/places\/pesti-vigado\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"places","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","varos":"Budapest","orszag":"Magyarorsz\u00e1g","cim":"1051.
