A person only does something crazy once in their life, said Gergely Bogányi in referring to his 2010 Chopin marathon, when he demonstrated his superhuman abilities in completing what was in all probability the unparalleled challenge of playing Chopin’s complete works for piano in a single day. Later he found out that it is not necessarily any less of a task to play a similar programme of works over several days. Having performed the works of Franz Liszt at the Palace of Arts to mark the Liszt bi...centennial in 2011, this year he is dedicating a full-day “marathon” to Liszt. So what do the apparently very simple pedagogic compositions of Bach have to do with the transcendental works of Liszt? The answer is once again provided by this outstanding pianist: “With Liszt just as with Bach, we cannot understand how so many works of genius can be written in a single human lifetime. There is an embarrassment of riches with Liszt, who composed works each finer and more beautiful than the last, raising us to the very loftiest spiritual heights.” Perhaps the most dedicated living Hungarian representative of Romantic piano music today, Gergely Bogányi was awarded the Kossuth Prize eight years ago at the age of just 30, one of the youngest ever to receive the honour. Day tickets are available for the 3.30pm, 6pm and 8 pm performances of “A Day with Gergely Bogányi - Liszt and Bach” for prices of 5100, 6300, 7800 and 9900 Forints. Day tickes
