From the 2019/2020 season, Argentinean opera singer,
composer and conductor José Cura will be the first
permanent guest artist of the Hungarian Artistic
Associations of the Hungarian Radio, conducting Verdi's
Requiem on November 13 at Müpa.
According to the agreement, José Cura will be the first
permanent guest artist of the MRME for three years as a
singer, conductor and composer, said Géza Kovács,
Executive Director of the Hungarian Radio Art
Associations at Wednesday's press conference with José
Cura in Budapest.
During the fall concert season, José Cura will lead
Verdi's Requiem on 13 November in Müpa,
and then on January 29, 2020 he will conduct a premiere
of his own opera, Montezuma and Redhead Monk
at the Music Academy. As a singer, he will be seen in
Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci in the role of Canio on 21 April
2020 in Müpa, conducted by János Kovács, presented by
Géza Kovács, who added Cura’s Magnificat
and Ecce Homo will be recorded this
autumn.
"This collaboration is primarily fruitful to the
public," he stressed. He also mentioned that they were
already discussing a common foreign concert tour. The
Managing Director pointed out that Tamás Vásáry would
continue to be the first permanent conductor.
Géza Kovács recalled that José Cura worked together with
the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Choir and
the Children's Choir last year. Three of his works,
Modus, Magnificat and
Ecce Homo, were performed.
José Cura’s Ecce Homo's 45-minute,
three-part oratorio recording schedule is starting
today. Elisa Balbo (soprano), Vesselina Kazarova
(mezzo-soprano), Ramón Vargas (tenor), and Nicolas Testé
(bass) will be featured in this work.
Ten days after the recording begins, they make their
first public performance with Verdi's Requiem, which is
also a major challenge, the artist said.
The comedy of Montezuma and the Red-haired Monk was
characterized by the fact that behind the music was a
rather funny but wonderful story. He thinks that the
work can be fun for the audience, as it reveals the
meeting and conversation between Vivaldi, Scarlatti and
Handel. He
shared the plans of the Hungarian Radio Art Society with
their plans to travel to Germany and Slovenia on a tour
trip. |

Beginning
in the year 2019/2020, José Cura will be the
first permanent guest artist at the Hungarian
Radio Art Ensembles, reports Géza Kovács,
Executive Director of MRME, at an international
press conference with the artist. The
concerts will be held on 13 November 2019 in
Müpa, on the 29th of January, 2020 at the
Academy of Music and on April 21, 2020 in Müpa
again.
The relationship between José Cura and MRME is not
new. In 2018, the performance of José Cura's Musical
World was performed at Müpa in Nagyhét. Then the
artist presented his three most important oratorio
works, Modus, Magnificat and Ecce
Homo.
Cura conducted
Modus
and Magnificat and in Ecce Homo sang the
role of Christ.
At the concert, Cura shared the stage with the Hungarian
Radio Symphony Orchestra, Choir and Children's Choir,
four excellent singers, Zita Váradi, Krisztina Simon,
István Horváth and Marcell Bakonyi, with Mario De Rosé
conducting Ecce Homo. After the performance, Cura
expressed his enthusiasm for the artistic quality of the
Hungarian Radio Art Community and expressed hope for
further cooperation.
After many months of preparatory work, it has now become
official that, from the next concert year, José Cura
will be the first permanent guest artist of the
Hungarian Radio Art Society for 3 years.
The Argentine singer is increasingly following his other
another great passions, conducting and composing. In the
framework of the cooperation, he will show his knowledge
and talent to the Hungarian audience not only as an
opera singer but also as a conductor and composer.
On January 29,
2020, a concert of José Cura's own work,
titled Montezuma and the Red-haired Monk,
will take place at a concert at the Academy
of Music.
"Behind the music is a not so funny but
wonderful story, as Vivaldi, Scarlatti and
Händel come to life," said José Cura, who shared
his plans with the Hungarian Radio Art
Association to travel to Oman, Germany and
Slovenia, among others.
Before this, the star of the festival
will be honored with his participation in
this year's Cziffra
Festival: together with János Balázs, he
will perform at the gala party of the festival, where
Argentinean music will be the main star.
"The name of György Cziffra is not well known in my home
country, Argentina, despite being not only a fantastic
virtuoso musician, but also a remarkable personality and
a great example of what an artist can achieve despite
the most painful life experiences and life
situations. Of course, I've never heard him play live,
but from the recordings made of him - besides the
overwhelming technical security - the lesson that he was
able to testify during the performance of the most
complicated pieces was the most peaceful." |
