I ordered for this album expecting some kind of traditional Hungarian chant gathered from ancient codices. Not surprisingly; I didn’t know János Decsényi and the title of the cd is “old Hungarian texts”.
Well then, I was wrong. This is quite heavy modern classical music, be warned. Only the texts are original old Hungarian literature.
Composer János Decsényi was a pupil of Sugár at the Budapest Conservatory and of Szervánszky at the Budapest Academy of Music, from which he graduated in 1957. By that time his works had already met with success at the Warsaw World Youth Festival (1955) and at the Vercelli Composers' Competition (1956). From 1951 to 1994 Decsényi worked in the music section of Hungarian radio; he was head of the electronic music studio there from 1974. He received the Ekel Prize in 1975 and was awarded the title Artist of Merit in 1986.
At first strongly influenced by the music of Kodály, he later followed newer directions; his music often results from the stimulus of other art forms. The structures are clearly defined, sometimes representing novel versions of classical moulds. Although his output extends to choral works, film scores, electro-acoustic and incidental music, his most characteristic writing can be found in his chamber pieces. He prefers to handle even the orchestra as a chamber ensemble, its members often assuming soloistic roles. His attachment to chamber genres has helped in refining his fundamental compositional technique. His works often start from a small set of ideas and proceed through gradual intensification towards a more comprehensive musical statement. During the 1990s he realized a number of electro-acoustic works in the soundscape and Sonic Art vein.
