Gergely Devich, Fülöp Ránki - Kodály: Sonatas for Cello and Piano (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Each piece showcases Kodály’s unique voice — lyrical, introspective, and full of strength — qualities that resonate deeply through Devich and Ránki’s sensitive and inspired interpretation.

“Regarding Kodály’s works, I would highlight three qualities that have made his music captivating for me from the very beginning. The first is the speech-like nature and natural flow of his melodies; the second, the contemplative melancholy of his works, which never turns sentimental; and finally, the unyielding strength and integrity. I sincerely hope that together with Fülöp Ránki, we have managed to convey at least some of these qualities on this newly released album.” - Gergely Devich

This recording offers an intimate journey through Kodály’s world — a dialogue between cello and piano that bridges passion and contemplation, tradition and individuality.
