Praised by musicians, audiences, and music critics

scene, Géza Hosszu-Legocky's critical acclaim
culminated with the nomination of two Grammy®
Awards, including the "Best Classical Music Album

his recording of the Schumann Violin Sonata in A
minor and other chamber music works with an
all-star cast including Martha Argerich, Maxim
Vengerov, Lilya Zilberstein, and Gabriela Montero
on EMI Classics recorded in 2004. In 2003, he
released his first EMI Classics recording
performing traditional Hungarian Gypsy music with
his ensemble "The 5 DeVils".
Known for his passionate and fiery interpretations
of classical, jazz, and Hungarian gypsy music, he
first made his public debut at the age of 9 on
Austrian Television "ORF". Since then, he has
performed with the National Hungarian Orchestra of
Budapest and performed in Argentina, France,
Germany, Spain, Japan, Italy, and the USA.
As a guest soloist, he has been invited to perform
with the major orchestras and ensembles throughout
the world including the Orchestre Philharmonique
