symphony orchestras. Between 1970 and 1987 his

flautist of important symphony orchestras in
Stockholm, Cologne, Baden-Baden and Munich. 1987 he

contemporary composers inspired by and written for
him. More than 100 records and CDs (1988 Prize of
the Deutsche Schallplattenkritik) testify to the
eminent artistry of András Adorján.

András Adorján in Munich: his supreme and natural
musicality, with which he performed both Mozart
Concertos, is hardly possible to surpass...
