A trumpet shines in Cologne's Philharmonic Hall

"Boldoczki's lean sound flowed through the sparkling runs lightly, smoothly; he gave the cantilena the cantabile mellifluousness in the andante and blew the highest tones of the concerto softly to the ceiling of the concert hall. Technique need not be mentioned here; everything runs smoothly."

Gábor Boldoczki and the Sinfonia Varsovia in the Cologne Philharmonic Hall

"Boldoczki understood how to blend the sound of the trumpet into the overall sound, never letting a shrill tone predominate. He gives a subdued performance with the Sinfonia Varsovia, which performed without conductor. It was not the solo part in the concertos by Vivaldi, Neruda and Torelli alone, but this whole performance succeeded in expressing the subdued brilliance that this music deserves."

Gábor Boldoczki and the Sinfonia Varsovia in the Cologne Philharmonic Hall

"The contributions of the young Hungarian star trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki were a great pleasure to hear. He not only made the most of his brilliant virtuosity, but created a wonderful lyrical mood with his smooth, fine-grain tone."

Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger - 2008

The Trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki and the Sinfonia Varsovia in the Liederhalle Stuttgart
A pristine-blown tone

"The stupendous virtuosity of this Hungarian transformed the arrangement of the famous Concerto for Solo Violin and Strings in A-minor RV 356 by Antonio Vivaldi into a masterpiece of high-speed runs, bouncing merrily between registers. (...) In the Concerto in E-flat Major by Johann Baptist Neruda, arranged for the trumpet, Boldoczki blew the nimble runs and the expressive, drawn-out melodies smoothly, his tone pristine and remarkably exceptional."

The new Album "Gloria"
An even tone

Gábor Boldoczki's virtuoso playing techniques permit breath-taking tempi and wide coloratura binds; his even tone makes the perfect adversary to Lázlo Fenyö's dance-like, light bow stroke and Hedwig Bilgram's lively continuo. Boldoczki has often been compared to Maurice André, whom Bilgram worked with for over thirty years. A tradition of Baroque trumpet performance is being continued here, possibly lighter, livelier, more contemporary.
