CD review: Lakatos Róbert 30 duó hegedűre és brácsára (Fonó 2022): Stepping out of Bartók’s shadow. Inspired by Bartók’s well-known 44 duets, Lakatos Róbert’s 30 duets for violin and viola are a meeting of classical and folk music - melding the two worlds of music. Lakatos’ duets are arrangements of folk music plus four of his own tunes. Horváth József plays violin, Lakatos plays viola. This review is by another musician on a similar path. "Both of us are constantly looking for the already existing connections between classical, pop and folk music and sometimes we find some non-existing connections as well…I am sure that this music creates a new era. With his duos Róbert steps out of Bartók’s shadow.” By Vizeli Máté.
