Hungarian Albummm! #15 - Solaris: Martian Chronicles, guest: Erdész Róbert
Szervezés:
This programme is held in Hungarian.
Fantastic music was born when the inspiring vision of Stanislaw Lem met the world of Ray Bradbury. Or, put another way: when the sci-filization debut album of the Solaris band was released. The Martian Chronicles is a somewhat unexpected, yet all the more forward-looking progressive rock album from the eighties, which speaks in a strong, distinctive voice, while its universal musicality rightly made it world-famous from Japan to Brazil. We listen to and discuss the musical poetics of Mars with one of the band’s idea-giving founders, Róbert Erdész – before the Apocalypse comes to an end.
Navigator: Róbert Erdész

In the Hungarian Albummm! series, we listen to the records in the presence of the composer or performer, recalling their own experiences, in the library of the House of Music, from whose ever-expanding record collection we have selected the albums, and which thus becomes, on the occasions of the series, a playhouse for one outstanding Hungarian music album at a time.
Dear Visitor, We kindly inform you that during the event, photographs, audio recordings, and/or video recordings may be taken. By attending the event, you consent to the recording of such materials through your implied conduct.
Those of us who still remember how we used to listen to music back when Little Richard sang from shiny black vinyl discs also know what playing records gave music fans: time dedicated to listening to the music with deep absorption, printed lyrics to browse and memorable album covers. And there was even more, because the medium itself influenced the songwriting: the very designation of sides A and B of singles raised the question of the priority and order of the songs, which brought with it the genesis and application of the musical or ideological concept that served as the organising principle behind the entire album.
