Matei Varga, Pianist

 

Welcome to Matei's website!

The big news of the month is the release of Matei's latest CD, recorded last summer in Paris with the exquisite cellist Laura Buruiana. The recording features the two cello and piano sonatas by Brahms and has been released by Coviello Classics. To order your copy now, please visit the "Recordings" page and follow the link. The CD is now available for download on iTunes!


The disc has been received enthusiastically and it got fantastic reviews in Fanfare, Kulturradio and was already broadcast on the Radio in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Romania and New Zealand.

Here is a small "taste" of what critics say (full reviews available in the "Reviews" section):

"FOUR STARS" Le Diapason

"Buruiana and Varga are world-class artists..." Radu A. Lelutiu, Fanfare

"This is more than musical partnership; it's two lives that depend on each other, and it's an absolutely thrilling, breathtaking marvel to behold. Varga is so fantastic, and so is Buruiana, that they both deserve top billing" Jerry Dubins, Fanfare

The CD was co-produced by Ollecello Classics.
