About the Artists

Since its formation in 1963, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra has been universally acknowledged as one of Hungary's foremost ensembles. The orchestra comprises 17 virtuoso string players in repertory from the baroque through the modern era.

The FLCO tours extensively throughout Europe, Japan, and the Americas. Internationally acclaimed soloists with whom the orchestra has collaborated include Maurice Andre, Martha Argerich, Emanuel Ax, Igor Oistrakh, Jean Pierre Rampal, Mstislav Rostropovich, Yehudi Menuhin, and Isaac Stern. The FLCO can be heard in recordings on the Sony Classical, CBS, Teldec, EMI, Harmonia Mundi, Erato, Hungaroton, and Denon labels.

Violinist János Rolla has served as leader of the FLCO since 1963. He has performed as soloist and in chamber music worldwide, having collaborated with such artists as Maurice Andre, Alfred Brendel, Jean Pierre Rampal, Andras Schiff, Isaac Stern, and Tamas Vasary. He received Hungary's highest award, the Kossuth Prize, in 1985 and added to that the Middle Cross of the Hungarian Republic in 1995.

American pianist Stepen Prutsman has been hailed for his beautiful musicality, glittering virtuosity, and highly individual approach. His style reveals its heritage in the great Artur Schnabel lineage. Mr. Prutsman was born in California. At the age of 12 he was accepted as a student by Aube Tzerko, a former protege and assistant of Schnabel. He later attended the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, where he studied with Leon Fleisher. In 1990, he was a medalist and audience favorite at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, where he received special awards for his performances of Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev. The following year brought him an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a gold medal at the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in Belgium. His playing was heard on the feature-length film about Beethoven entitled Immortal Beloved.
