OA1017: Spring All The Year Round

Spring all the Year Round

The Melodies of Charles Kálmán

Inspired by his father’s operetta roots, but carving out his own musical style more reminiscent of the European and American popular music of the 1920’s and 1930’s, Munich-based composer Charles Kálmán has achieved great success in a large number of works for the stage, the concert hall, and film.  Pianist Alex Hassan takes us on a virtuosic survey of a cross-section of this oeuvre.
