Gábor Farkas

Apart from a stint in Italy, the young pianist Gábor Farkas is something of pure Hungarian tradition, differing with this through the multinational training common to a lot of artists of international stature. Blessed in 1981, he begun to research music at age five. Farkas went to the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, a Budapest conservatory with root base in Franz Liszt’s very own time. In the entire year 2000 he produced a short splash, earning the Béla Bartók Piano Competition in the Austrian health spa city of Baden bei Wien. It might be the to begin many competition victories; he implemented it up using a win on the Hungarian Country wide Radio Piano Competition in 2003. All of this happened before his graduation in the conservatory in 2005; he continued for the doctoral degree now there in 2014, learning with Zoltán Kocsis. At that time, Farkas’ career had been fully underway. There have been even more competition prizes-a particular Hungarian state award as young musician of the entire year in 2008, the Gundel Artwork Prize in ’09 2009, & most considerably the Franz Liszt Prize, Hungary’s highest federal government arts award, in 2012. His concert profession blossomed with performances around European countries (including on the Konzerthaus in Berlin) and Asia, where he performed in Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, with the Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo. Farkas’ debut documenting, An Evening with Liszt, made an appearance in 2008 over the Warner Classics label and gained the Franz Liszt International Culture award for greatest Liszt record of the entire year. A live record implemented, and Farkas in addition has documented for the Outstanding and Hungaroton brands. In 2015 Farkas obtained momentum in the American picture when he gained an audition competition kept by the company NY Concert Performers & Affiliates. That resulted in a Carnegie Hall debut in 2016 also to a documenting using the American label Steinway & Sons, known because of its explorations of uncommon piano repertory. Farkas appreciated with Liszt: Opera and Music for Single Piano, an application of Liszt’s piano preparations of his personal music in additional media.
