the Hungarian violin virtuoso Lajko Felix.
This young fellow is just amazing. I have his first CD, _Es Zenekara_ (which I believe simply means "and his band"), released maybe five years ago by a small Hungarian label, and it just burns up the speakers. Wonder if it ever got re-released on a label with international distribution? The world deserves to hear it! S
============== Felix Lajko is really fantastic musician but rather hungarian than Hungarian. He was norn and lives in the northern region of Serbia called Vojvodina, before the WW I part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and after the Trianon Agreement oncorporated to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croatians and Slovenians. I'd like to strongly reccomend Lajko's CD Koncert '98 which I purchased few month ago through the http://www.tamizdat.com/ His CD with Boban Markovic is also worth listening. Funny trivia - Boban Markovic Orkestar played on the last album of Riblja Corba (Fish Soup) famous (or notorious YU-Rock group), favourit band of Slobo Milosevic Jerzy
