Notes on the recordings by Danacord founder Jesper Buhl:
|
|
In the autumn of 1984 I was introduced to the 1931 Hungarian-born Professor János Sebestyén at a social gathering in Copenhagen. Not only was János Sebestyén one of the leading musicians in the world and an extensive recording artist, but also one of the most approachable, and generous of human beings. In his capacity as organist, pianist and harpsichordist he needs no further introduction. At a later meeting János Sebestyén gave me as a present a short master-tape with various organ works he in May 1984 recorded in the German Stuttgart-Feuerbach church using the brand new 1983 Johannes Rohlf organ. We discussed possible future recording projects to fill out music for an LP, using some of the high standard Danish organs, which sadly never came to fruition. In 2012 János Sebestyén passed away. Here is the first release of those tapes with two short pieces by Pasquini and Martini and the Pastorale by Bach.
The release is a small token of gratitude to that Hungarian icon of music.

David Roblou shared his memories of this recording in correspondence from January and February 2017:
|
|
I remember those concerts and recordings as a wonderful experience; culturally a world apart from things in the West at the time, but hugely stimulating and rewarding! An Anglo-Czechophile named Margot Leigh Milner, a friend of Zuzana's, recommended me and I was invited to take part! Simple as that! The C major for three was Zuzana playing 1st, János 2nd and me 3rd, as I recall. The cadenza in the 2nd part is hard and János brought it off with enormous aplomb; he had a wonderful technique. I knew the instruments would be rather "rum" by our standards - however, Zuzana played an instrument by a (Swiss?) maker called Zahl which was edging towards classical models. (The instruments were tuned by Petr Šefl, a great character, who had already built an Italian copy.) Two things struck me: you had to hit them hard for them to work! Despite that, the technical standards of my colleagues were superb. In other words, there were things they could do in which I lagged behind and vice versa. I think I played 2nd in the D minor triple and Giedré 3rd... I think. The quadruple: I think 2nd (me), 3rd (János) and 4th (Giedré). I remember the slow movement of the quadruple being problematic to record; everybody had different conceptions of dotted rhythms. We rehearsed individually, conducted by Petr and I got it exactly right, the reason being I also had a background as an orchestral and chamber music player as well as a soloist, whereas my colleagues were soloists by experience and temperament! Again, differences in culture. Of course nowadays English is the 2nd language; in the 80s in the East it was Russian and German. Giedré and I had to communicate in German, Zuzana is fluent in everything and János' English was developing, especially his sense of English humour... that was delightful! What's so nice is that, despite the cultural gap at the time, in terms of instruments, playing style, etc., the performances feel so authentic, in the sense of feeling for tempo, rhythm, etc. And throughout the strings make a wonderful sound, again despite a rather "picky" approach (which is how I'd define it nowadays); but they were incapable of playing unmusically! It's all reminded me what a pleasure, as well as a cross-cultural experience, it was playing those pieces with all those wonderful players!

Unpublished Recordings

János Sebestyén recorded approximately thirty-five minutes of music on a Pleyel harpsichord for the famous sound engineer André Charlin in Paris in 1962. Among the items recorded were Fantasias by Bakfark, Old Hungarian Dances arranged by Ferenc Farkas, and Bach's Toccata in E minor (BWV 914). The recordings were never published but were later made available for broadcast by Hungarian Radio.
János Sebestyén recorded a selection of Russian piano music adapted for harpsichord with sound engineer Thomas Gallia in Milan in April 1971. The works recorded included Prokofiev's Prelude (Op. 12, No. 7), Gavotte (Op. 32, No. 3), Rigaudon (Op. 12, No. 3); Shostakovich's Prelude in B-flat major (Op. 34, No. 21), Prelude in D minor (Op. 34, No. 24); Kabalevsky's Prelude in F major (Op. 35, No. 15), Prelude in D-flat major (Op. 35, No. 23), Prelude and Fugue in F major (Op. 61); and two Dances by Fikret Amirov. As with the above item, the recordings were never published but were later made available for broadcast by Hungarian Radio.

While recording sonatas for flute and harpsichord by Handel and Vivaldi in Milan during the summer of 1973, Lóránt Kovács and János Sebestyén also recorded a selection of trio sonatas by Telemann with violinst Richard Young and cellist Andor Tóth. This recording was scheduled for release as Angelicum STA 9034, but the Angelicum label closed before publication. When the Angelicum catalog reemerged under the Ars Nova imprint beginning in 1978, the tapes could no longer be located and were considered lost.
Richard Young recalls the Telemann recording in an email from 6 October 2006:

The circumstances regarding the Telemann recording were quite unusual. Our quartet had completed the Schubert recording sessions, and Andy and I decided to stay a bit longer in Milan to listen to some of the play-backs. While we were there, János Sebestyén was there too (with a Hungarian flutist, whose name I don't remember) making a recording of their own in the same studio, with the same engineer (Thomas Gallia). Since we were all there together, Gallia (spontaneously!) suggested we do a record together of whatever music he could find for this combination of instruments. So he went to the local music store and found only a bunch of Telemann works, and after practically no rehearsal we did it! I recall feeling an instant "chemistry," particularly with János, and that the result was surprisingly good. However, I was never sent a copy of the finished product, so who knows? I'm sorry to hear that the tapes were lost.

The September 1976 issue of the audio magazine High Fidelity announced a future Vox Box release of Italian organ music performed by János Sebestyén. According to Sebestyén, Vox eventually decided against publishing the recordings since there was already a similar collection in their catalog. The recordings were made on various organs in northern Italy circa 1974-75 and are likely lost.
