Recital by Ágnes Szakály (dulcimer) and István Dominkó (piano)

Liszt composed relatively little chamber music, some of his pieces are not even original works but transcriptions of piano pieces, in most cases for violin and piano. Ágnes Szakály’s programme includes several of these compositions for violin and piano but here the violin part is taken by the cimbalom, an instrument that enchanted Liszt who imitated its distinctive effects and tone colours on the piano with such inexhaustible inventiveness.
