  After an absence from the recording studio, a CD, ‘Contrasts' is available online at: Zoltan OroszTrack list: ‘Boite a Frissons’; ‘The Jolly Caballero’; ‘Carioca’; ‘Czardas Variations’; ‘Autumn Leaves’; ‘C'est Magnifique’ – swing; Marta: ‘Radino’; A.Piazzolla: ‘Oblivion’; .A.Mozart: ‘Turkish March’; J.Strauss: ‘Tritsch-Tratsch’ polka; Presser/Dzinovic: ‘Csak játék’/‘Jesul dunje procvale’; A.Piazzolla: ‘Libertango’ The CD has continuity with a previous album, named 'Thousand Faced Accordion', featuring well known tunes played on the accordion in a virtuoso performance. However there are such musical styles present on the new release that have not been present on any of the artist's previous albums. Zoltan Orosz has dedicated his career to introduce the fantastic opportunities of this interesting instrument to as wide audience as possible. He aims to present the shades, dynamics and passion that are the characteristics of both the instrument and the musician. Thus, on the new album there is a wide and colourful variety of songs ranging from French accordion music through Argentinean tango to South-Slavic folk music, and from swing to rearranged classical pieces. 'Contrasts' was recorded in one of the best Hungarian studios, Tom-tom Studio, with the contribution of Attila Kölcsényi as engineer and the guitarist Zoltan Sipeki as music director. Besides the accordionist's own group the album features such excellent and internationally acclaimed musicians such as the legendary jazz drummer Ferenc Szabó; Béla Lattmann, the head of bass guitar faculty at the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy; guitarist Antal Kovács; and the Kossuth award holder Kornél Horváth, percussionist. ‘Contrasts' CD available online at: Zoltan Orosz |

 Portuguese accordionist Paulo Jorge Ferreira is a guest musician in an orchestral concert (MD Peter Rundel) featuring an interpretation of ‘33 Variations of 33 Variations’, by Hans Zender. The concert takes place on Friday March 14th, 8.30pm, at Theatre/Scene Nationale de Saint Quentin En Yvelines, France.When Beethoven, nearing the end of his life, composed that legendary piano work, the ‘Diabelli Variations’, he revisited music history from the Baroque to the Classicism, and challenged audiences of his era, anticipating many of the features that would feature in Romanticism. When Hans Zender undertook the orchestration of these thirty three Variations, he added to his interpretative task two more centuries of music. The result emerges in the form of ‘33 Variations on 33 Variations on a theme of Diabelli’, which fluctuates between an intimate kinship to the original and a detachment and which surprisingly stimulates the soundtrack of Beethoven's universe.
