Variations and Allegro (1965)
Orchestra of the Hungarian Radio and Television
János Sándor
In his early mature works, Láng adopted the serial techniques that had become fashionable in the early 1960s, showing the influence of Boulez and Schoenberg, but still managing a clever and effective synthesis of these styles with traditional Hungarian elements derived from Bartók in all areas: melody, harmony, rhythm, and texture—a synthesis perhaps best demonstrated in his Variations and Allegro (1965), which is an arrangement of an earlier symphony. His music from this period is marked by an absorption with the theatre, even in chamber and solo instrumental work. [Media Services and Support Trust Fund (MTVA)]
