Felix Lajko - a rising star in classical music, folk music and jazz!

A unique concert recorded in the woods with Felix accompanied by a whole host of artists including the forest animals!

'I had heard that Lajko is regarded with awe in the Balkans, but was still unprepared for the impact of hearing and seeing him at such close quarters.... he attacks his violin with such ferocity that broken threads cascade from his bow during each number. There is a tendency for Balkan musicians to fit into one of several generic categories – gypsy, folk, Klezmer, etc – but Lajko seems to have invented a style of his own, and any reference to existing genres would be misleading. Each of his instrumental songs had a clear structure, and yet each seemed open to the spirit of the moment.'
Charlie Gillett, BBC LDN

For someone still in his 20s Felix Lajko exhibits an astonishing confidence in his highly improvised playing. A virtuoso in both the violin and zither, his playing is often described as 'burning', and leaves his audience awe-struck wherever he plays. Born in the small town of Subotica, Serbia, he is now based in Budapest, Hungary where he enjoys a cult following that is growing fast.

"My music is based on the delicacy and colourfulness of my instrument. I do not play any new types of musical genre, I only follow my own path and improvise and write music. I cannot see differences between musical styles and ways, so I play folk-, classical-, rock-, blues-, and improvisational music. I have written music to several theatre plays and films for Yugoslavian and Hungarian directors. I wrote a musical piece for the festival commemorating the Sarajevo Cultural Olympics."
