A musical journey

Three musicians in Budapest. Their imaginary destinations: Paris, Rio, Buenos Aires 
Three expatriates. Their origins: Paris, Rio, Buenos Aires. Current location: Budapest 


The long-standing cultural links between Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires served as inspiration for our musical journey. Our guides for this voyage were some of the most popular Argentinean, Brazilian and French composers from the first 60 years of the twentieth century. Their works also inspired our improvised interludes. As our musical journey unfolded from concert to concert, we noted that the sounds and places of our own hometown, Budapest, became evermore interwoven into the work. We came to understand that we were being influenced not only by the music of the three foreign cities, but also by our own environment as well.

NAVA: FLUTE AND GUITAR DUOS

Label: HUNGAROTON
Year of release: 2011

DIALOGUE DUO:
Katalin Koltai -guitar
Noémi Győri - flute

The beauty of Antonio Nava’s flute and guitar duets takes us back into the world of 18th-19th-century middle-class Milan and evokes the colorful atmosphere of the melodramas of the theatres of the time. 
Flutist Noémi Gyõri and guitarist Katalin Koltai founded the Dialogue Duo in 2002.
The duo has a highly unique and wide repertoire: besides being confident in playing the standard flute-guitar duo literature, they take special pride in having created a range of own transcriptions of sonatas by Haydn and Mozart and as devoted contemporary music interprets continuously cooperate with composers, premiering pieces dedicated to them.

SCHIFFMAN: GUITAR CONCERTO & ORCHESTRAL WORKS

Label: North South Recordings - Naxos
Year of release: 2008
 
Performers:
Katalin Koltai - guitar
Győr Philharmonic Orchestra
Matyas Antal - conductor

The Guitar concerto: Variations on “Branchwater” was written in 1988. 
The theme, “Branchwater,” is followed by seven variations, a cadenza, and a finale. 
Schiffman: "Rather than send musicologists and folklorists on a wild goose chase, I have decided to admit that “Branchwater” is not a folk song at all, but a tune I composed specifically for this piece. I chose the name because, as all good Southerners know, the best way to enjoy the delights of Bourbon whiskey is with a little plain water commonly called, in the American South, “branchwater” (or sometimes simply “branch”), as if it came from a creek."

American Record Guide: "Katalin Koltai is the guitarist, and her work is competent and controlled. It's a soft work,
gentle and alluring. I genuinely enjoyed it!"
TUROK'S CHOICE-The Insider's Review of New Classical Recordings:  "a terrific piece for guitar and orchestra...
Expert performances by Mátyás Antal and the Győr Philharmonic, with Katalin Koltai the solo guitarist."
