A user requested for Balassa’s opera Karl és Anna. I cannot provide for that, but perhaps this may serve as an introduction to the Hungarian composer, whom I didn’t know as yet. The New Grove Dictionary of Music describes Balassa’s first musical attempts as ‘freely dodecaphonic’. I can’t detect anything as modern-sounding as the second Viennese School here, so the works below must belong to a later period in his life, when he distanced himself from the early 20th century modernists. He returned to claccicism and also started to draw inspiration from Hungarian folk music.
The composer’s own description of his pieces: “I try to compose simply and clearly. I strive to compose music which is easy to follow”.
