JOCURI POPORALE ROMÂNEŞTI NO. 1, JOC CU BÂTǍ

This week, our Musical Moments series continues with a soft and thoughtful rendition of Bartók’s first Romanian Folk Dance Joc cu bâtǎ (Stick Dance) arranged for piano by the pianist himself, 24-year-old Robert Neumann.

The German pianist has already received numerous prizes and is hailed as a new, extraordinary talent who combines brilliant technique with beautiful sound. The work is a unique piece played with masterful spontaneity and a wide variation of expressiveness.
