EFT Report, Mumbai: Kodály Quartet has regularly performed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America; in nearly all European countries; and throughout the Far East, including India, China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. They have also given concerts in Australia and New Zealand several times.
Due to their great reputation and musicality, the Quartet has participated in many festivals around the world and have performed with great musicians like Bruno Canino, Milan Turkovic, Miklós Perényi, Zoltán Kocsis, Michel Portal, Dimitry Ashkenazy, Michel Béroff, Jeremy Menuhin, Tamás Vásáry, Jenõ Jandó and Dimitris Sgouros. In 1994 the English magazine CD Classics awarded the first prize in the Chamber Music category to the Kodály String Quartet for its recordings of Haydn op.64. In 2007, the BBC nominated its recording of Mendelssohn and Bruch octets for the “Best Chamber Music Recording of the Year” Award. In 1990 the Hungarian government awarded the Outstanding Artist Prize to the Kodály String Quartet, and in 1996 it received the Bartók-Pásztory Prize.
The Kodály String Quartet has recorded some 60 CDs. Among these are the entire string quartet cycles by Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert. A discography of these recordings can be found at www.kodalyquartet.com.
Marouan Benabdallah is an heir to the great Hungarian musical tradition, and embodies the new emerging generation of Hungarian pianists, not to mention his attachment to France and French culture. Born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1982, Marouan enthused for the piano at the age of three and started lessons at four years with his mother, a music teacher. He left Morocco at the age of 13 years to continue his musical studies in Hungary. He was awarded his diploma in 2007 following a triumphal concert in the packed concert hall of the Liszt Academy where he performed the Rachmaninoff piano concerto no. 3.
Today, Marouan is invited to perform in prestigious venues all over the world. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in May 2011 and was invited by Maestro Lorin Maazel to perform with him at the Castleton festival in July 2011. Concerts at Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires, at the Aspen Music Festival and at the United Nations in New York, have been recent highlights.
