Csaba Szabó (1936–2003) composed music in almost all genres: orchestral and vocal/choral-orchestral works, chamber music, songs, choral works, staged works, incidental musical for theatre and solos. From this important and varied oeuvre, this recording presents the complete works for piano solo of Csaba Szabó. His piano pieces were composed over a period of almost three decades, between 1955 and 1981, and it is striking to hear the extraordinary transformations in form, technique and richness of message that the composer’s style has undergone.

The relationship between the three composers is particularly striking in the light of the works on this album, and thanks to the fact that even Rameaus works are here played on a piano. The pieces are played by one of the most talented Hungarian pianists of his generation, József Balog.
