The present recording was made on one of the most excellent concert organs in Hungary. The intonation and unique construction of the instrument makes it suitable for interpreting 19th and 20th century organ works, too. The album opens with the music of Bach but it's main material, utilizing the special sound effects of the instrument, consists of compositions by romantic composers and works by late romantic French masters such as Mendelssohn, Schumann, Cesar Franck, and Charles-Marie Widor. Miklos Teleki received his degree in 1995 at the Liszt Academy of Music. Even before that he was winning prizes like the 1993 Budapest International Liszt Organ Competition. He taught for several years at the Siofok International Organ Masterclass, and has given first performances of a large number of contemporary Hungarian and international organ compositions. He gives 80-90 performanes a year, with regular appearances at St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest.
