Weilburg Castle Concerts
A marvellous, outstanding trumpeter
"Gábor Boldoczki is outstanding among the young international class of trumpeters. In the Concert in A-minor for Trumpet, Strings and Basso Continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally written for solo violin, Boldoczki excellently demonstrated an elegant sound that made one sit up and take notice. His performance was flawless, whereby his tremendous feeling for coloratura while using double tonguing made the exceptional quality of this virtuoso audible. This was solo performance to perfection."

Festival Mecklenburg-West Pomerania
A Furious Start to the Festival
"Visitors were treated to a musical highlight with the concerto for trumpet in E-flat Hob. Vlle:1 by Joseph Haydn and after the intermission with the Handel concerto for trumpet. The soloist mastered the high notes brilliantly and with great sensitivity, while achieving a very confident embouchure. This magnificent trumpet virtuoso was the first soloist world wide to interpret the trumpet concertos by Michael Haydn at the Salzburg festival. Soon this young guest star of the 15th festival will embark on a tour of South America, Japan and China. We thank him and the Berlin Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Claus Peter Flor for these brilliant interpretations of the compositions performed on the first evening of the festival in this Hanseatic city."

Festival Mecklenburg-West Pomerania / Award-winning soloist
An Unforgettable Musical Event
"Out of all others it was the award-sinning soloist Gábor Boldoczki, who showed exceptional brilliance on the trumpet. On Sunday evening he demonstrated his virtuosity, his expressive style, giving his interpretations a romantic-profound, yet coincidingly festive atmosphere, e.g. in the Suite "Aus Holbergs Zeit" by Edvard Grieg. The 28-year-old enchanted his audience as well in the second piece from the concertos for trumpet by Joseph Haydn with his tremendous joy of performing."

The High Art of Coloratura
"Gábor Boldoczki made a great show of his tremendous skills in the concerto for trumpet in E-flat by Joseph Haydn; the radiance of his smooth tone without any shrillness, the pleasant lyricism in his beautiful cantilena, the magical sound of the passages and ornamentations."

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden / Debut Concert of Germany Tour
The Hungarian Gábor Boldoczki's celebrated debut concert of the tour
"The young Hungarian trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki was heralded as a prodigy-scamp. But this young trumpeter, who is regarded as a worthy successor of Maurice André, was anything but a scamp. Rather the word prodigy fits this exceptional trumpeter better because Gábor Boldoczki knows how to draw soft, polished tones from his trumpet which hold the whole world in amazement. He delicately traces every sound curve. His technical finesse is outstanding. Every tone colour is produced with a clear intonation and rhythmical stability. The audience enthusiastically cheered his unbelievably musical brilliance with seemingly endless applause."

Stadttheater Fürth
Superior perfection with extra brilliance
"On Sunday a classical elite ensemble performed in the city theatre in the form of the Polish Chamber Orchestra Sinfonia Varsovia. And they brought a world wide star as soloist with them: Gábor Boldoczki, who adds an extra brilliance to this extraordinary evening. This 28-year old trumpeter, already awarded many international prizes (including the ARD competition) proves himself a specialist in virtuoso Baroque music with highlights by Vivaldi and Telemann. In Fürth he was only able to take his final bows after several encores accompanied by uproarious applause. In the concerto for trumpet in A-minor op. 3 by Antonio Vivaldi the soloist celebrates a lyrically rich largo in the middle movement; in the presto finale he creates contrast with a passionate verve."

Subscription concerts Fulda
Irresistible charm
"The fifth subscription concert in the Fulda Fürstensaal came to an enthusiastic end as the Fulda Musikfreunde celebrated the exceptional trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki with standing ovations and demanded many encores with their applause. After only a few measures Gábor Boldoczki, the young trumpet comet succeeded in charming his audience. His smooth and elegant sound and his loosely sprinkled allegro motif sequence are tonal phenomena of irresistible charm."
