Kalman Berkes

"My record of the month, a collection of Weber's clarinet works, played with panache and succulent tone by Kálmán Berkes." Classic CD magazine review of Kálmán Berkes' recording of Weber's Clarinet Quintet Op. 34 (Naxos 8.553122) and other works for Naxos.

The Hungarian clarinetist Kálmán Berkes took his degree at the Budapest Liszt Music Academy in 1972, winning second prize at the Geneva International Competition two years later and then going on to be a prize winner in 1975 in Munich with his Opera Wind Quintet.

He has been principal clarinetist in a number of leading Hungarian orchestras, including the Hungarian State Opera, the Budapest Philharmonic and the Budapest Festival Orchestras and for ten years was a member of the Budapest Chamber Ensemble.

In 1982 he founded his own ensemble, the Budapest Wind Ensemble. Regular concert tours have taken Kalman Berkes to European and other international festivals, to Japan and to the Americas, where he has appeared with James Galway, Maurice Andre, Zoltan Kocsis, Andras Schiff and others.

He has given master courses in Europe and America and holds a visiting professorship at the Musashino Music Academy in Tokyo.
