Fejérvári Zsolt
double bass
Zsolt Fejérvári studied at Zoltán Tibay at the prestigious Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.
Still a student of the Academy, he was awarded with a special prize at the International Competition of Markneunkirchen and became principal double bass player of the Munich Chamber Orchestra.
Between 1994 and 2000 he lead the double bass section of the Budapest Festival Orchestra, followed by three years spent in Switzerland with the Suisse Romande Orchestra. Since December 2002 he has been member again of the BFO. On his first Hungaroton recording he plays concertos for double-bass and orchestra from Sperger and Vanhal (both friends of Mozart) with the Erkel Ferenc Chamber Orchestra.
In 1996 he won the Giovanni Bottesini International Competition in Cremona, in 2003 and 2007 the Sándor Végh Competition of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. In 1996 he was personally invited by Maestro Sir Georg Solti to the World Orchestra for Peace, in which 78 players of the world's leading orchestras celebrated the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Organisation.
He plays regularly with his friends, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, the Kodály Quartet (their recording at Naxos of the Octet of Bruch won several nominations and prizes), the Akadémia Quartet and the Auer Quartet.
Zsolt Fejérvári plays a wonderful bass made by the master of the 19th century, Brücknert, offered to the Budapest Festival Orchestra by Lord Rothermere, in 1995.
On his solo appearances he plays a solo tuned bass made by the Hungarian master Havas. His newly ordered bass from the young and incredibly talented German master Stefan Krattenmacher should be ready in 2010.
