The world-renowned entertainer Márta Sebestyén will take to the stage of the Uránia National Film Theater on Sunday, March 6, with her evening of contemporary world music entitled "Rózsá nyógy, szegfű hajlik". The performance is also a celebratory concert summarizing the artist's 45-year career. Márta Sebestyén authentically represented the authentic Hungarian culture both at home and around the world during her artistic career of more than four decades.
HE CREATED A STYLE IN HUNGARIAN FOLK SONG PERFORMANCE ON THE STAGE, HE RESOLVED TO TRANSMIT THE BARTÓK AND KODÁLY LEGACY.
With his special presentation style, he became an internationally recognized performer who also contributed to the worldwide success of world music arrangements (Deep Forest) and Oscar-winning film productions (The English Patient). He also sang with Sebő, Muzsikás and Vujicsics, among others.
For the last fifteen years, his constant partner on stage is the harpsichordist Judit Andrejszki, the grande dame of early music, who will also accompany him at the concert in Uránia. Through "the meeting of a folk alto and a baroque soprano", they show melodies whose written traces can be found in the 16th and 17th centuries. in codices of the 19th century, but they appear as live folk music in the 20th in collections from the 19th century, which were already recorded on audio recordings.
THEREFORE, SOME MELODY IS SOUNDED EVEN AS IT COULD HAVE SOUND FROM THE LIPS OF A LADY IN A XVII. IN THE CENTURY CASTLE, AND AS IT WAS HEARD BY ZOLTA KODÁLY IN THE 20TH FROM THE WOMEN OF BUKOVINA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY, OR AS RECORDED BY ZOLTA KALLÓS IN THE 20TH IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE CENTURY.
During the performance, we can follow the sometimes quite adventurous journey of each melody: from the Renaissance court of the Duke of Mantua to the Bukovina farm, the XVII. from the Apponyi codex of the 19th century to a poem by Margit Szécsi, or we can witness the strange meeting of an Irish and a Hungarian melody.
