Lajkó Félix and the Óperentzia

Félix Lajkó & VOLOSI

The critics universally agree that VOŁOSI have managed to achieve a unique and original musical style escaping categorization. By exceeding the limits of string instruments, they create music that can be described as thoroughly modern and attractive for contemporary listener – growing out of the Carpathian roots, but also bearing marks of jazz improvisation charged with rock energy and full swing of emotional content. That is why it perfectly fits with the extraordinary music of the Hungarian icon Félix Lajkó.

Felix Lajko solo concert

Improvisative, magnetic play that gives your soul wings. Transmission of feelings, pictures, moods by music. A virtuoso journey for him – and for us.

Félix Lajkó (violin) – János Balázs (piano) duo

The two extraordinary artists reinterpret contemporary music, and make it accessible in the process, providing not only psychologists but historians of music with a lot to ponder on. How can ideas, emotions and images possibly come to life in two people at the same time-and we talk about objective, verifiable simultaneity-if these persons are somehow closely linked? Because what emerges by the end of their common music making is an aura woven from harmonies that touches the very heart of every member of the audience. Félix Lajkó and János Balázs is each an inimitable virtuoso of his instrument, and together they push the very limits of music. This is what makes their playing together so exciting and unpredictable.
