The Veress Parish

[snyprrr]

Can't you just smell the air up here on the Veress Terrace? Mm...

I have yet to discovery Veress, - and I'm sorry to be starting so many shitty Threads!- but, I've seen worse OPs.

The 'Biggest' cd I know of is the Holliger conducted one on Teldec (must sound nice?), and there's a few pieces that pop up on various recitals, but I'm not sure yet what's available. (I know, you're looking at me like wtf, haha)

Veress versus Varèse?

Intrigued by the Hommage à Paul Klee and Csárdás.

Yes, there was actually more than I thought, but that Teldec disc really pops out and says, Try Me! He has a Solo Cello Sonata that pops up on a lot of Kodaly cello discs that sounds nice, and a String Trio I see around.

Hommage next on the playlist. [Edit: Gorgeous, by the way.]

I have his string quartets on my want list.

I did notice those SQs. The first one has that classic Enescu type sound, the second sounded furious...       maaaybe...

You'll have to change the title of this thread. Veress is pronounced as VER-eshh, not ess.

On topic, I love his Hommage à Paul Klee. It's an extension of Bartók's language, but with a bit more impressionist flair. Very nice piano writing. The string quartet disk is on my listening list.

Too little traffic in this thread, a shame because this composer deserves more exposure. I was listening to this CD which gathers together his works for violin (Sonata for solo violin, Sonatina for violin and piano, Sonata for violin and piano and two dances for violin and piano) and some songs with piano (I wasn't in the mood for the songs, though). Despite these works display a lot of virtuosity, I think they are tremendously exciting and full of Gipsy airs which are just irresistible. The Sonatina for violin and piano has a mesmerizing slow movement, a highlight in these pieces. The overall recording is not top-notch, but since it's the only one that contains all (or most) of his works with violin, it's serviceable and the program shows the folksy facet of the composer. A very entertaining disc.

Today I heard the Veress' works from that disc. Once again, the quality of the music holds rather well.
