“For me, music is a core experience: the outpouring of love, eternal rapture, consolation and spiritual elevation. I find all this closest to my heart in the music of Chopin and I play his works on every possible occasion, having already given over 2600 concerts. I can barely remember more than a couple of dozen of these concerts when failed to play something by this composer with the magical soul. Over the past five years, I have programmed both concertos in a single concert on numerous occasio...ns. It was not the achievement that I was interested, something that does over fascinate musicians, but rather the cathartic, uplifting experience of communicating their message to the audience. I particularly would like to thank my friend Gergely Ménesi for his selflessness in being just my accompanist on my musical journeys, he always gives such attentive and sensitive readings. I also thank the Danube Symphony Orchestra for their enthusiastic collaboration. The orchestral accompaniment version of the Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise, which begins the concert, will nicely preface the piano concertos: Chopin’s eternally valid confession, where he says everything, which an unfolding love can give to the soul, all the pure but passionate joy, the wild hope and the sweet pain, which I myself experienced in my youth… Let this concert be an “evening of love” for everyone, the magic of music!” Endre Hegedűs
