Félix Lajkó

If ‘boundless’ music exists at all, we can be certain to hear it at the concert by Félix Lajkó. The violinist grants us insight into a personal, internal world that is unequivocally his and his alone. We’ll come across unequalled virtuosity, standard musical themes, unexpected whistling, serenades and well-known, evocative melodies from somewhere long in the past. Félix Lajkó experiences violin play as an unfinished experiment, one that is never perfected, never complete and finalized. As he puts it: “Playing in an orchestra represents a constraint, the fulfilling part is when the orchestra can play together. When there is a theme that we begin to play and itsuddenly explodes. And there is a part which works not in the orchestra but rather as a solo: when it is total improvization and I have nobody around me. Both are good. I suppose that if I didn’t have one or the other, then I would feel that something was missing.”
