Máté Bella is perhaps the only internationally acclaimed Hungarian composer who has achieved great success in both contemporary classical and pop music. His composition, commissioned by the UMZE Ensemble, also explores the connections between avant-garde music and pop culture in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Born in 1943, H. K. Gruber is both the doyen and the daredevil of Austrian composers. His 1977 Frankenstein!! (Mr. Superman) has toured most of the world's concert halls and will be heard for the first time on the stage of the Budapest Music Center. Just as Gruber's piece evokes the classic Viennese cabaret, Aurél Holló's percussion concerto, composed for himself, evokes the world of jazz, and Michael Daugherty's bravura piece, which resurrects Elvis Presley as a bassoonist, evokes the world of rock and roll. Máté Bella is perhaps the only internationally acclaimed Hungarian composer who has achieved great success in both contemporary classical and pop music. His composition, commissioned by the UMZE Ensemble, also explores the connections between avant-garde music and pop culture in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
The series A Genius Is Born is a tribute to the male choir works by the three greatest Hungarian masters of music, so it is no coincidence that the concerts are taking place on the composers' birthdays. A special feature of the concert programme is that StEFREM's personal selection of works by the classical composers is complemented by outstanding and interesting pieces by their "heirs", the Hungarian composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
They recorded this album 1979 in Japan at an open-air festival, and they are on fire all the way through, displaying huge dynamism and vast perspectives, all five of them breathing as one. They only played originals until the encore, showing compositional bravado, exciting harmonic changes, and intriguing dialogues.
