Jenő Jandó,
Jenő Jandó was born in Pécs (Hungary) in 1952. At the age of seven he started to study the piano. From 1968 he was a student at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, where his tutors were Katalin Nemes, Pál Kadosa and András Mihály. In 1973 he won first prize in the Hungarian Radio Piano Competition, after which prizes in further international competitions followed (Milan, Versailles, Sydney). He is one of the most active participants in Hungarian musical life, and a frequent guest in the great concert series of Europe, America and Japan. Since his recordings for the Hungaroton and Laserlight labels, he has been a soloist with Naxos for some years, and his several hundred recordings make him probably the busiest pianist in the recording market. He has been a frequent collaborator in the orchestral and chamber concerts of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. In February 2007 he was soloist in the orchestra’s concerts in Rome and Ferrara.

The BFO lavished great musicality and the strings shimmered during Dvorák`s Sixth Symphony.{...} And when Fischer and the orchestra turned their attentions to Strauss bonbons and Lehár ditties on Friday and Saturday nights, they outsparkled the obligatory pyrotechnics at program`s end.
Hollywood, Los Angeles Times, August 1st, 1998. John Voland
