This time, her Liszt Academy concert features songs of the different regions of Transylvania and Bulgarian folk music. In an interview, the magically voiced singer formulated her ars poetica thus: “Traditional singing (and not just Hungarian) bears extremely important values. Not just beautiful melodies and lyrics that frequently speak of timeless emotions, but a truly natural, instinctive way of singing in articulation, ornamentation and gestures. I endeavour to retain this under all circumstances.”
