Heritage

The aim of this recording is not just to be a musicological curiosity, but to arouse the audience's awareness of pieces and composers who have not yet been recorded, or are played less frequently; to inspire my colleagues to practice and master the special techniques in these works, and to show the way for interpretations of the works of Hungarian and Transylvanian composers, an interpretation which as well as the traditions of the Hungarian string school, draws only from clear mountain springs through personal relationships. Ildikó Szabó Acclaimed for her musical intellect and imagination coupled with technical virtuosity, Ildiko´ Szabo´ is a laureate of the Pablo Casals International Cello Competition where she was the winner of the 2nd Prize, the Audience Award, and 7 Special Prizes. She is also a top prize winner of the German Music Competition, TONALi, Popper International Competition, Janigro International Competition and Liezen International Competition.
