| The recall of our European music heritage and the redefinition of the romantic style is the main goal of Egry Levente’s new production, the Sentimental Piano Concert. The young pianist- composer has brought the knowledge and experience over the long years of working on music to a valuable fresh and mature production. Egry Levente’s Sentimental Piano Concert is a niche within itself. In today’s over consuming world and its services, supply is shorter and shorter for those who, seeking inner harmony, search innately to live through elemental human feelings. Sentimental diminishes this shortage by linking and balancing the taste and demand of a generation accustomed to an accelerated world and the sophisticated music of the past. The Piano Concert speaks to the trained ears of classical music, as well as finds the way to those who are less experienced in a multi-movement piano concerto or any other refined pieces of music. Sentimental is primarily classical; expands the borderlines of the genre and speaks to people through the language of music. Levente and his chamber orchestra starts touring around the world. The Sentimental Piano CD will be hopefully introduced still this year. Check Sentimental Piano website (www.egrylevente.com) to see more information and to listen to music samples. |
