About

With over 50 years of experience on stage LD is still an insider’s tip, an art phantom. Relatively few people have heard him play live as he only plays a few selected concerts each year. Perhaps it is – as Lajos reveals: „I play many different styles of music and really enjoy the surprising effect of going from one style and then taking a 90 degree turn to another in my next production. Therefore the public, the promoters or critics are unable to classify my style and will be uncertain.“

The well-know Jazz historian SGG (Budapest) once said: “ Lajos has more than once proven his capability and flexibility in all styles of music. But, what we are hearing here is far more than this. Here presented is a highly gifted musician who says: listen up, this is what I can offer you, immerse yourselves in the sound of my clarinet. This anthology represents the essence of his work as an artist and composer. His clarinet play is so avant-garde, forever young and timeless, like a ‚young lion‘ , leads the way to future musical visions. This playing will set the standard for many years…“
