Peter Sarik Trio X Bartók

The Peter Sarik Trio released released its first album containing Bartók arrangements in 2018, which was presented in the Great Hall of the Academy of Music.
Since then, the program has been played in 15 countries around the world, achieving enormous success from Finland to Kazakhstan to China.
The CD received The Hungarian Grammy award as “Jazz Album of the Year” in 2020, and the concert version released in 2022 was nominated for the same award in 2023.
Also in 2023, the X2 Bartók album was released, which, like the first album, contains jazz arrangements of piano works and choral works.

 

“No other composer had such a great influence on jazz as Bartók. The incredible strength and dynamics of his pieces literally sweeps away the listener. His music is pure excitement, mystery, infinite depth and limpidity.
We have created this material so that listening to our Bartók arrangements even those who had been averse to his music would take a liking to it.
Jazz and Bartók is a perfect match. The piano pieces adapted to a jazz trio sound even more characteristically, pieces written for a full orchestra and folk adaptations show a completely new face and offer a large scope for improvisation.
I warmly recommend our concert for lovers of both classical and jazz music.”- said Peter Sarik.
