This album is the second recording by the Samodai-Szives Duo that is dedicated to the colorful and innovative style of László Dubrovay. The members of the duo have been working with the composer for many years to master new techniques and musical challenges he set up for the new generations of musicians. On this album, they have teamed up with two guest musicians and recorded pieces that had never been captured in these forms.

Three Movements is one of a kind piece: it is one of the most difficult pieces for a trumpet-percussion duo, and demands extra versatility from both players. Regardless, this is the second recording of the piece from the duo.

Solo No. 15/B is a virtuoso and vibrant marimba piece written for Márton Szives, where he can show the ever-changing sound of the marimba.

Lament is again written for Szives, and originated from Solo 15/B’s second movement; both the musician and the composer thought that this movement can live even on a vibraphone.

Solo No. 11 is the world’s most challenging trumpet solo with techniques unique only to Dubrovay’s style.

Sei Duo is a violin-percussion piece with perky little movements. It had been recorded previously only once, but never with the direction of the composer himself.

Valse Triste et Tres Vite is originally a virtuoso piece for harp and trumpet, and besides its original recording, it has never been archived again or with a piano.

March 2023

In the initial phase of his career, Hungarian composer László Dubrovay (1943) turned with particular interest to electronic music. The experience he gained from his works created in electronic studios manifested itself in the form of special tone colour effects and noise elements, even in his compositions written for solo instruments or traditional ensembles. From the 1990s Dubrovay made a significant stylistic turn in his music, reverting to traditonal genres and musical forms; in his works certain elements of tonality reappeared, together with late Romantic melodiousness and a characteristic modern Hungarian style.

After the successful guest appearance at the Lynn University in Florida in 2018, trumpet player Bence János Samodai (1995) and percussionist Márton Szives (1990) continued their collaboration in Hungary under the name Samodai-Szives Duo, and since then have performed at prestigious venues and festivals across Europe, including Unerhörte Musik in Berlin, FIMU in Belfort and Intersonanzen Musik in Potsdam. Both Samodai and Szives are multiple competition-winning musicians and active researchers. The trumpet-percussion duo works in close collaboration with renowned composers from abroad and Hungary, who compose new works exclusively for them.
