"I dare say that this ability could be measured by
Chopin's standards. "
Zoltán Kocsis, 2010
01About Me
I started my piano studies at the age of six with Erika Becht using a special re-composition method. At the age of 17, I won the Louis Braille piano competition in Moscow, and after spending two years at the Vienna Academy of Music, I obtained an artist diploma at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto as a student of Leon Fleisher. My mentors were Zoltán Kocsis and Tamás Vásáry.

„He achieves a depth of feeling and a power of expression for which theword "remarkable" seems inadequate…. He has given us a remarkable debutdisc, and I hope to hear more from him.”
„Only those with a sense of vocation whose mother tongue is music, Mozart's music, can play in such a manner.”
„This is absolutely splendid Mozart playing. There is not the slightestconcession to physical disability: no safe tempos, no overpedalling, nohesitations, before awkward keyboard leaps or to manage difficult handpositions..”
„He wrapped my soul in silk...”
„I have seen many broadcast concerts without an audience in the past year, and I have had similar experiences several times. In such cases, I always felt great gratitude towards the artists. But this was different. Perhaps it was precisely the fact that it was given to us by an artist whose mere survival bordered on a miracle that enhanced the experience. Tamás survived and became a true artist in order to conjure completeness in front of us. ”
