"Hungarian pianist Peter Józsa, born in 1975 has been giving concerts all over Europe since the age of 16. In 2013 he was appointed professor at the University of Art in Graz, Austria and now presents a 2-CD-album by the title “Portrait” featuring works that have had a significant influence on the artist in the course of his career. These include the Sonatas in B minor, Hob. XVI:32 and A flat major, Hob. XVI:46 by Joseph Haydn, the Sonata in A minor D 537 by Franz Schubert and the 7 Fantasies op. 116 by Johannes Brahms. On the second CD there are virtuoso pieces by Frédéric Chopin such as Impromptu No. 2 Op. 36, the Fantaisie Impromptu in C sharp minor Op. posth. 66, the Fantaisie f minor Op. 49 and the Polonaise Fantaisie in A flat major Op. 61 as well as rather calm, contemplative works by Franz Liszt, which illuminate his poetic and religious side. Thus this portrait ends with Les Funérailles, Ave Maria in E major, Les jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este, Nuages gris and Recueillement."
