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.
