Major concerts:
Since 1974, she has been regularly performing both as a solo player and at orchestra concerts in Budapest and other Hungarian towns. Besides European countries – like England, Germany, Austria, France, Czechoslovakia and Romania – she has also given concerts in Canada and China. She frequently performs as a chamber musician. The Hungarian Radio and Television often hire her as a pianist.
She gives several solo recitals every year in Budapest and in the country. Having a broad repertoire, she plays not only the Viennese classics and Romantic works but also French and Russian music from the beginning of the 20th century. In recent years she has also performed the works of Hungarian contemporary composers including Emil Petrovics, József Sári, István Láng, Attila Bozay and Máté Hollós.
Emil Petrovics has written a piano concerto especially for her, which is part of her permanent repertoire.
She has researched the unknown piano pieces of the 19th-century Hungarian Romanticism, including the works of Ábrányi, Bertha, Beliczay, Mosonyi, Goldmark, Volkmann, Sipos, Gaál, and others. She was the first to record the works of Volkmann, Heller and Emma Kodály with the Hungaroton Records.
She has a unique Dohnányi concert repertoire, and because of her 2 First Recording CD she is considered “a leading figure in the Dohnányi renaissance unfolding in Hungary” (Festival Journal, 2001). As an expert knower and committed interpreter of Ernő Dohnányi’s works, she plays an important role in the rediscovery of Dohnányi’s oeuvre.
Her permanent chamber music partners include Zoltán Kocsis, Jenő Jandó, Miklós Perényi, Dénes Gulyás, László Polgár, Csaba Onczay, the Tátrai String Quartet, the New Budapest String Quartet, András Kiss, Eszter Perényi, Anatolij Fokanov, Ingrid Kertesi, László Fenyő, György Liener, Ádám Banda and the Kelemen Quartet.
She has worked with such renowned conductors as Yuri Simonov, Rudolf Barshai, Arnold Katz, Kobayashi Ken-Ichiro, Miklós Erdélyi, Tamás Vásáry, Marc Gorenstein, Zsolt Hamar and Tamás Gál.
Since 1996, she has been the regular host of music salons reviving the Romantic traditions organized at the MATÁV (Telekom) House of Music and the Budapest Piano Salon. Through conversations spiced up with joint music playing with her friends, she has introduced to the audience the most outstanding figures in Hungarian music life (including Zoltán Kocsis, Péter Frankl, Jenő Jandó, Miklós Perényi, Ilona Tokody, the Tátrai String Quartet, Vilmos Szabadi, Csaba Onczay, Sándor Falvai, and others).
