Perényi, Miklos

HCD 32834-35

J. S. Bach's Six Solo Cello Suites performed by the world-renowned Miklós Perényi!

One of the greatest cellists of his generation, and a world-renowned exponent of his instrument, Miklós Perényi has already recorded these six suites for Hungaroton 40 years ago, which are among the best known and most difficult compositions in the musical repertoire. Now, after four decades we can once more hear his unforgettable performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s these key works. As the booklet says: “Each and every recording by Perényi is an event, particularly if he records the foundation of the cello literature, the solo suites by Bach.”

Miklós Perényi started learning the cello at the age of five, then as an extraordinary talent he gained entrance to the preparatory class for the Liszt Academy at the age of seven. He gave his first solo concert at the age of nine, and during his career, he has performed in almost all famous concert halls around the world. The twice Kossuth Prize-winning musician (1980, 2006) among other things, has been awarded the Bartók– Pásztory Prizes (1987), the title Artist of the Nation (2014) and in 2002 he also won the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres award.
