VASTAG CSABA

Two masterpieces of late 19th-century French sacred music make up the programme of this concert-hall celebration: Gabriel Fauré’s exquisitely beautiful Requiem and the Clovis Mass by the elderly Charles Gounod. Between the movements of the latter work, the audience will also become acquainted with four further gems from the Gallican tradition of church music, with one composition each by Alexandre Guilmant, Louis Aubert, Camille Saint-Saëns and Théodore Dubois.

John Coltrane, who was born a hundred years ago, recorded a landmark album in 1963 with the singer Johnny Hartman.

Miután a kétezres években meghódította az R’n’B világát – amit 14 Grammy-jelölés és egy Billboard Top 10-listás album is jelzett –, Ledisi mára a jazz egén is tündöklő csillaggá vált.
