Orbán: Enchanted Forest

Informatie

György Orbán, born in Transylvania in 1947, is one of the most important members of the middle generation of present-day Hungarian composers: his orchestral and vocal works are performed with great success worldwide. His pieces written for children were originally composedfor the excellent piano teacher Ágnes Lakos' publication entitled 'Friendly Piano Tutor'. The works are arranged in order of difficulty, as in the piano tutor. Among these compositions there are several pieces for three or four hands, which the beginner can play together with the teacher or with another pupil. In these pieces we have marked the learner's part with a little child's head. The enclosed CD contains all the pieces in the collection. On the recording, which was made in Hungary in 2010, the pieces are played by pupils of Ágnes Lakos.
