About

Thomas Albertus Irnberger, violin, and Pavel Kašpar, piano, lead us with their album Salon de Budapest into the bourgeois salon of the late 19th century – an oasis amid the ‘good old days’ which weren’t, of course, that good to begin with: mired turmoil, social inequalities, and wars as much and more than ever since. The invited audience were to listen to Hungarian dances by Brahms, Kodály and Rachmaninov, Csárdáses by Franz Lehár, Miska Hauser and Jenő Hubay, Romances, Fantasies and other melodies by Tchaikovsky, Leopold Auer, Carl Bohm and Joseph Joachim. Some songs from operettas by Lehár, Jenő Huszka, Emmerich Kálmán and Pongrác Kacsóh with the Hungarian soprano Brigitta Simon complete this musical visit to the Salon de Budapest.
