Hungarian Days - Roby Lakatos

Roby Lakatos comes from the legendary dynasty of Hungarian violinists – János Bihari called "Gypsy Paganini" is his ancestor. Lakatos has continued the family tradition as a valued instrumentalist, but also as a composer and arranger.

Fluently and with lightness he plays classical music and jazz, but always remembers his roots, masterfully combining classical pieces with Hungarian Roma music. He has played at major venues in the world alongside Maxim Vengerov, Stéphane Grappelli and Martha Argerich. A devilish genius, connoisseur of classical music, jazz improviser, heir of nineteenth-century virtuosos – each of these names is well deserved.
