Piano Quintets by Alexander Albrecht and Štefan Németh-Šamorínsky

On behalf of o.z. Albrechtina, we warmly invite you to the final (Un)known Music concert of this year!

PROGRAMME: Alexander Albrecht (1885-1958): Piano Quintet Štefan Németh-Šamorínsky (1896-1975): Piano Quintet, op. 52

Both Alexander Albrecht and Štefan Németh-Šamorínsky studied with Béla Bartók and are among the most significant figures in 20th-century Slovak music. Albrecht's Piano Quintet, composed in 1913, combines subtle lyricism with an almost symphonic monumentality. Németh-Šamorínsky's Piano Quintet from 1956 combines expressive melody with neoclassical elements and rich harmonic invention, creating a distinctive style that bridges tradition and modernity.
