Farkas Ferenc – Farkas Ferenc
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Ferenc Farkas was one of twentieth-century Hungary's most prolific and inventive composers, a figure whose work bridged modernist technique with a deep affection for folk idioms and Renaissance forms. This Hungaroton Classic survey gathers five works spanning his most fertile decades, from the playful orchestral charm of *The Sly Students* (1950) through to the meditative *Planctus Et Consolationes*, a memorial piece written in 1965 for filmmaker Fejős Pál. What emerges across these pieces is Farkas's particular gift: a kind of sophisticated neoclassicism that never feels cold or academic, infused instead with warmth, melodic generosity, and an almost chamber-like intimacy even in larger ensemble settings. The *Concertino All'antica* and *Piccola Musica Di Concerto* showcase his ability to work within historical forms while remaining entirely of his own time. This recording offers an excellent introduction to a composer whose voice deserves wider recognition beyond Hungary's borders.
