On May 18, Istvan Batori performed an outstanding organ concert at Ljubljana Cathedral, organized by Filharmonia Magyarorszag and Imago Slovenia. The program featured works by J.S. Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Frank Bridge, and Franz Liszt. The concert was a remarkable event, celebrating the timeless beauty of classical compositions.

Istvan Batori performed two exceptional concerts with the University of Bamberg Choir – conductor Wilhelm Schmids – in Italy. The first concert took place in Bologna at the Church of the Holy Trinity, where the audience was captivated by a diverse repertoire that showcased both sacred and contemporary pieces. The second concert was held in Rome at the Church of Santa Maria dell’Anima, offering a unique blend of classical and modern choral works, highlighting the choir’s versatility and Batori’s masterful organ accompaniment. Both events were celebrated for their exceptional artistry and spiritual depth.

Istvan Batori has recently released a new recording of the toccatas, ricercars, and canzoni for organ from the treatise “Il Transilvano” by Girolamo Diruta. This exquisite collection was performed on the Renaissance Antegnati organ of the Palatine Basilica of Santa Barbara in Mantua. The recording showcases the rich, historical sound of the renowned instrument, offering listeners an authentic experience of Renaissance music. Stay tuned!
