Szilvia Vörös and Károly Mocsári A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“I first felt that I could win when I saw the smile on Éva Marton’s face as she announced the first prize winner.” This is how Szilvia Vörös, winner of the 1st Éva Marton International Singing Competition, graduate of the Liszt Academy in 2013 and the only Hungarian to make it into the final, remembered the last, tense moments of the competition. “It is extremely interesting that the jury considered her worthy of first place almost from the very first day,” stated Éva Marton, “although I could not award her points because at one time Szilvia was my student. I did not coach her for the competition because she has been working alone for a year now as an independent artist.” Károly Mocsári, winner of the 1986 Liszt-Bartók competition, one of the defining performers of Rachmaninoff today, accompanies the Prima Junior prize winning singer at her first independent Liszt Academy recital. The uniquely exciting programme is compiled from songs and piano works by the Russian master. In an interview Szilvia Vörös said, ‘Oratorios and songs demand a slightly different voice and tone than opera. It is important when singing church music that one should be there in spirit and the songs are close to me because they are intimate.’
