Zoltan Jeney - Wohin? (CD)

An album picking from the vast oeuvre of the now 74 years old Hungarian composer giant, Zoltan Jeney.Renowned Hungarian composer Zoltan Jeney, born in 1943, studied composition with Zoltan Pongracz at the Zoltan Kodaly Music School in Debrecen (1957-1961), with Ferenc Farkas at the Ferenc Liszt Conservatoire in Budapest (1961-1966), and with Goffredo Petrassi at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, on the postgraduate composition course (1967-1968).In 1970 at the instigation of Albert Simon he founded the New Music Studio with Péter Eötvös, Zoltán Kocsis, Laszlo Sary and Laszlo Vidovszky. Between 1972 and 1990 this was the most important forum for progressive music in Hungary.One of the main threads in Jeney's musical thinking is the transcribing of extramusical material (e.g. texts, chess games, meteorological data, telex messages, fractal series) into musical processes. Between 1975 and 1984 he sang in the Schola Hungarica choir conducted by Laszo Dobszay and Janka S
