With this ensemble, formed in 2003, Gergely Ittzés, one of Hungary’s leading flautists has assembled his best former students. After studying with him they all graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music or the Debrecen Kossuth University and took part successfully in national and international competitions. The advantage of this similar education is to find more easily the common, homogenous sound and phrasing, which is one of the attractive features of this sort of instrumental combination.
TeTraVERSI played several times in the Hungarian Radio and were invited to perform at the Budapest Fall Festival, the Spring Festival, the Sziget Festival, in Slovakia, Serbia, and the Czech Republic. They can be heard on recordings by Hungary’s major label Hungaroton and the New York based 903 Records.
They develop a repertory including music from the renaissance to the newest works, from the philosophic attitude to styles offering light entertainment. They also work on utilising the new possibilities of the flute (discovered and developed by István Matuz and Gergely Ittzés, among others) by commissioning new compositions and trying to produce the most surprising sounds with the four instruments. Fictive Memories, their first individual CD gives a sample of this colourful repertory.
