- Lajos Bárdos
-
- Hungarian (18991986)
- Following in the footsteps of Bartók and Kodály (the
latter was his teacher at the Academy of Music in Budapest), Bárdos'
works are models of choral writing. His genius is reflected through his
incomparable musical settings of sacred, profane and folk texts. As a pedagogue
and conductor, he raised the level of choral singing in Hungary to merit
international acclaim. Through his lifelong activity as a choral conductor
and musicologist, Bárdos introduced the music of Josquin and Stravinsky
(Symphony of Psalms) into the repertoire of Hungarian choirs. Choral compositions
make up the bulk of Bárdos' creative output.
