SCHUMANN Waldszenen | Nachtstücke | Humoreske Zoltán Fejérvári, piano ACD2 2816 “Fejérvári's playing is multi-layered and precise, requiring full concentration on the part of the audience.   Every note has its own particular dynamic, character, and expression.” - Kulturvollzug. Winner of first prize at the 2017 Concours Musical International de Montréal, pianist Zoltán Fejérvári makes his ATMA Classique debut with a recording devoted entirely to the music of Robert Schumann.   Fejérvári recorded the album at Domaine Forget in Saint-Irénée, Québec. Zoltán Fejérvári has emerged as one of the most intriguing pianists among the newest generation of Hungarian musicians.   Recipient of the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2016, Fejérvári has appeared in recitals throughout the Americas and Europe, at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Montréal's Place des Arts, Gasteig in Munich, Lingotto in Turin, Palau de Música in Valencia, Biblioteca Nacional de Buenos Aires, and Liszt Academy in Budapest. Fejérvári has performed as a soloist with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, Hungarian National Orchestra, Verbier Chamber Orchestra, and Concerto Budapest, and he has collaborated with such conductors as Iván Fischer, Gábor Tákács-Nagy, Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi, and Zoltán Kocsis.   His solo recording debut, Janáèek, was released in January 2019 and earned rave reviews as “the most sensitive and deeply probative recording” of that composer's work (Gramophone).       Waldszenen, op. 82       ( Scènes de la forêt / Woodland Scenes )   1.
