MCMC hosts award-winning Hungarian Virtuoso Pianist, Endre Hegedüs, and Yale University Rowing Team
Award-winning Hungarian Virtuoso Pianist, Endre Hegedüs, delighted a capacity audience in MCM College Hall with his wonderfully clear explanations and expert performances of some of his favourite piano music:
Bach-Hess: Choral from the Cantata No. 147
Beethoven: Sonata in C minor “Pathétique”
Chopin: Ballade No. 1 in G minor Op. 23
Chopin: Andante spianato et grande polonaise Op. 22
Liszt: Sonetto di Petrarca No. 104
Liszt: Liebestraum No. 3
Bartók: Evening in the village
Bartók: Old Hungarian Dance Tunes
Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 15 “Rákóczi March”
He also set each piece in historical music context, and charmed everyone with his interpretations of what each composer was trying to express through the music.
His playing ranging from the muscular style needed for Beethoven and Liszt to the delicacy and finesse of Chopin.
When playing his home country’s folk tunes, arranged by Bartók, the sincerity of his expressiveness and emotion was tangible.
MCMC welcomed additional overseas visitors to the performance that day, as Yale University Rowing Team was in the audience, during their visit to Asia to participate in the Tin Muk Rowing Regatta in Zhuhai two days later.
