My friends are those who haunt the Ideal; there, dear friend, we 'recognize' each other, and shall always do so…

Liszt to Ödön Mihalovich
Erika Miklósa, Félix Lajkó & János Balázs

21 February 2019, 19.30-21.30

Grand Hall

Cziffra Festival 2019

Erika Miklósa, Félix Lajkó & János Balázs Presented by Liszt Academy

Arias by Donizetti, Verdi, Strauss, Piazzolla, Cziffra György arrangements and improvizations

Erika Miklósa (vocals), Félix Lajkó (violin), János Balázs (piano)

Three instruments, three genres, three virtuosi, three very different personalities: all are bound together by improvizational skill and a fascination for new areas of music. A world-famous soprano, a violinist who is a law unto himself, and the pianist who has brought improvization back to the podium, have never before worked together for an entire concert. Now is the moment to find out what happens when these three explosive personalities are mixed together. This is not, however, the first joint musical expedition for Erika Miklósa and János Balázs, with their ZongOpera production being one of the most successful concerts of the 2018 Cziffra Festival: whoever enjoyed that performance will not be disappointed here. Félix Lajkó and János Balázs have in fact long played as partners; their combined musical adventures matured into a recording several years ago, since when we have experienced at several quite unforgettable concerts what it is like to be in the presence of virtuosi testing their chosen instruments to the limit.
