Featuring:
Gabriella Rea Fenyvesi – soprano
Róza Radnóti – piano
In 2024, soprano Gabriella Rea Fenyvesi and pianist Róza Radnóti received the Annie Fischer Scholarship, a Hungarian prize supporting young talents. The two musicians got to know each other thanks to this award, and their shared passion for the masterpieces of song literature led them to create a song recital.
Both young artists studied with distinguished professors at the Academy of Music - Gabriella with Andrea Meláth, András Almási-Tóth and Szabolcs Sándor, Róza with Gábor Csalog, András Kemenes and Rita Wagner. Both obtained their MA degree with honours from the institution in 2022, and went on to broaden their studies abroad: Gabriella spent six months as a Weingarten scholarship student at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with British soprano Anne Dawson, and Róza studied with Imre Rohmann at the Mozarteum in Salzburg for two years.
Their song recital features works by 19th and 20th century composers, almost all of which tell the story of love, and sings about its depths and heights.
