We are delighted to confirm, as already announced on our Home page, that Gusztáv Fenyő will resume his Scottish cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas, marking the composer’s 250th anniversary, on Sunday 15th May at The Cathedral of The Isles, Millport, Cumbrae. As you may recall, Gusztáv embarked on this musical journey back in May […]
It is with great regret that we announce that the entire second half of Gusztáv Fenyő’s cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas in Scotland has been postponed until 2021. This is, of course, entirely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In the early stages when programmes 5 and 6, scheduled for 24/31 May, were postponed, […]
Beethoven’s piano sonatas form one of the most important collections of works in the history of music. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth, Gusztáv Fenyő is performing complete cycles of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas in Scotland and Hungary, beginning in May 2019. The young Beethoven took Vienna by storm as a […]

Their equally distinguished brother, Eugene Goossens, seems largely forgotten, or if remembered, it is as a conductor, rather than as a composer. Yet, […]
On March 2nd Gusztáv Fenyő plays the first of four recitals of music by, unarguably, the foremost Classical composers. Beethoven and Schubert, in addition, stand at the head of the early Romantic movement. Some of these works are, of course, often performed; however, Gusztáv Fenyő feels he has been maturing for a long time in […]
On Saturday 22nd October music-lovers throughout the world will celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Franz Liszt, pianist-extraordinaire, forward-looking composer and musical innovator, conductor, dedicated pedagogue, champion of others’ music, tireless traveller, writer, entrepreneur – the list is seemingly endless in a long and fruitful life which was also marked by generous support for […]
