Hungarian pianist János Balázs is keen to demonstrate his improvisation skills in various genres beyond the classical stage, such as jazz, world music, or folk music, which are inspired by classical music values and the 20th century tradition of improvisation. Music critiques highlight the delicacy and diverse colours of his piano playing, his unlimited dynamic scale and his fascinating virtuosity. Hearing János Balázs’ music is a genuine time travel, as he evokes with full force the intimate ambience of the composers and the pianists of the so-called 19th century golden age, like Franz Liszt or Frédéric Chopin.
