MAO Legendary Albums | The Tal Farlow Quartet (HU)

MAO Legendary Albums | The Tal Farlow Quartet (HU)

The importance of the Blue Note record company can hardly be overstated. The famous blue note-labeled albums recorded the pioneers of bebop after 1945, and then the defining small-band recordings of the hard bop era – these have become the eternal high points of jazz. The soloists of the Modern Art Orchestra, starting from the recordings of the first great era, relive the moments recorded on the blue-and-white label records.

The lanky guitarist Tal Farlow was completely self-taught: he learned no trade except sign painting, and there was a time when he made his living from that, too. After the war, he played on the club circuit on the East Coast. In '49, Red Norvo, the famous vibraphonist, hired him for his band, where his playing caused a sensation. For his first record as a leader, released in '54, he invited rhythm guitarist Don Arnone to accompany him. Farlow often plucked the two lower strings with his thumb while playing chords and melody on the top four strings, employing sweeping tempos and winding melodic lines. Although we hear two guitarists, the music is not intended to be a mere showcase of technical virtuosity; the interpretation is always subordinate to the mood of the tune and the narrative of the given song.

Our offer


A 60-minute tour starts every day at 13:30, 15:00 and 16:30 in English. To request a tour in other languages (Italian, Spanish, German, French, Greece and Hungarian), please get in touch with the OperaTour team. Please note that the auditorium is closed for visits during rehearsals. Guided tours are not available during performances. For selected tour times, tickets are also available with the PreOpera Menu package. In addition to the guided tour of the Opera House, this option includes a themed set menu of your choice at OperaBistro, which can be enjoyed either before or after the tour.

The tenor, recently awarded the title of Austrian Kammersänger, began his career on operetta stages. After performing in operas by Mozart, Beethoven, and Weber, he has since grown into one of the most significant Wagnerian Heldentenors of our time.

There are evenings when our Opera House cannot perform because rehearsals are ongoing on stage until the evening. There are audience members who can only afford to hear their favourite pieces with a discount. And there are works that, although very popular, cannot be staged every season due to the congestion of productions.
