The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

The star guest of this recital is a violinist who has been celebrated in the biggest concert halls of the world ever since he was just 14 years old, and to this day still holds the title of youngest ever winner of the massively prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. When Vadim Repin first played in Hungary, he wielded a Stradivari, since then he has been through two Guarneris and now he brings a third – 1743 Bonjour – to the Liszt Academy. Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Ravel – pure pleasure not only for  him but his chamber partner, and at the same time the other soloist of the evening, pianist János Balázs.
