About Erno Kallai
Erno Kallai is establishing himself as one of the most exciting and charismatic young violinists today. Erno made his Carnegie Hall, Stern Auditorium debut in 2008 with the Juilliard Orchestra which was critically acclaimed by the Strad Magazine.
Erno Kallai made his debut with the New York Philharmonic in 2011, and has played in venues such as Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, Chicago's Symphony Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, and the Palace of Arts in Budapest. As a devoted chamber musician, he has performed chamber music concerts with world renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman and members of the Perlman Music Program. Erno has played for Hungarian radio and television, France Musique, the McGraw-Hill Company's "Young Artists' Showcase" with host Bob Sherman on WQXR, and was also featured in Elle magazine in 2010.
Erno Kallai has won numerous awards and prizes, including first prize of the Carl Flesch International Violin Competition in 2008, first prize at the Juilliard Concerto Competition in 2008, a Valerie Beth Schwartz Career Grant from Salone de Virtuosi in 2007 , among others.
Born in Budapest, Hungary, Erno Kallai began early violin training with his father, and already at the age of twelve he had been admitted to the Exceptionally Talented Children's class of the Franz Liszt University of Music. In 2006 he moved to the United States to study with Itzhak Perlman at the Juilliard School, as a full scholarship student.
Erno Kallai is playing a 1721 Petrus Guarnerius violin, a generous gift from the Juilliard Rare Instrument Collection, and using a bow by bowmaker Howard Green.
Press clippings
"La deuxième œuvre du programme est la Sonate de Debussy...[Erno Kallai] joue le premier mouvement avec beaucoup de panache et de tempérament, donnant une coda virile et puissante, mais c'est surtout dans le deuxième mouvement, très fin, où il semble presque toujours en train d'improviser..."
"Le récital se termine avec une superbe Sonate n°1 de Fauré, remarquable à tous points de vue, que ce soit dans l'écoute mutuelle entre les deux instrumentistes, dans la pureté d'intonation du violoniste, au jeu aussi léger et gracieux que possible, ou dans la subtile douceur de l'Andante où les notes semblent flotter en apesanteur. Le redoutable troisième mouvement est un bel exemple d'audace, de maîtrise technique et de continuité du discours, et le mouvement final est judicieusement joué avec vigueur, mais sans se précipiter. C'est une leçon de style et de bonté que cette Sonate, poétique mais rigoureuse, sans alanguissement, qui marque avec éclat l'entrée d'Erno Kallai dans la longue liste des lauréats Juventus."
-Richard Letawe, 2011
"Kállai Ernő, a csodagyerekként indult hegedűművész, Itzhak Perlman tanítványa Bach E-dúr hegedűversenyének szenvedélyes prezentálása közben már-már egy zsonglőr ügyességével és koncentrációjával "varázsol", a megvilágításnak köszönhetően úgy tűnik: szinte hullámzik a vonója, különböző alakzatok felvételével vonva magára az egyébként is intenzív figyelmet."
-Kelemen Éva, Kultúra.hu, 2010
"...Kallai performed with good colour, superb intonation and exemplary poise. In his posture and position, he looked as good as he sounded."
"…he did full justice to the concerto's many moods and never once produced a sound that was less than beautiful."
-Dennis Rooney, The Strad, 2009
"Bruch's Violin Concerto No.1 is in the repertory of all major violinists. It's a beautiful piece, rich with melody and dramatic tension. The young Hungarian-American violinist Erno Kallai is completing his studies at Juilliard with Itzhak Perlman, who recommended him for this Boca debut. Playing an 1864 Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume violin, his gorgeous tone reminded me of the young Perlman, his technique was flawless, and his manner fully assured and professional. The melting Adagio was as heartbreakingly lovely as any heard in years of concert-going, and the finale came up as fresh as if heard for the first time."
-Alan Becker, South Florida Classical Review, 2009
"...Perlman suggested a 22-year-old Hungarian named Erno Kallai, who studies with him at Juilliard, and who proved to be a worthy and impressive choice, a violinist with a strong, commanding sound who has a good feel for Bruch's late Romantic rhetoric. Kallai also has a penetrating tone that could be heard in his very first traversal of the G minor neighborhood in his opening statement; it's important that the soloist seize the spotlight in this wide-open writing, and Kallai did just that..."
"...Kallai's technique was admirable and reliable, and he played throughout with cool confidence. Kallai's work was particularly enjoyable in the Adagio, when he demonstrated a strong sensitivity to this heart-on-sleeve music, stressing its long lines so that every word of its emotional confession could be heard..."
-Greg Stepanich, Palm Beach ArtsPaper, 2009
"...Music conceived on a smaller scale felt like a grand artistic statement. Violinists Erno Kallai and Francesca Anderegg paired for French composer Philippe Hersant's 11 Caprices for Two Violins, born of Bartok and written after the texts of Kafka. These minutelong nuggets present virtuosic challenges that both performers met with astonishing assurance, and they did so as storytellers to boot."
-Bryant Manning, The Chicago Sun-Times, 2009
"After intermission, Perlman came out with a truck load of fantastic musicians to perform Mendelssohn's Octet".
"...[They] produced a scintillating and dramatic reading of the first movement. The group, which included Itzhak Perlman, 1st violin, Erno Kallai, 2nd, Francesca Anderegg, 3rd, and Wanzhen Li, 4th violin, together with violists Kyle Armbrust and Molly Carr, and cellists Jia Kim and Yves Dharamraj, received rapturous applause from the audience, the standing ovation occurring immediately and lasting through the three curtain calls."
- Chicago Classical Music, 2009
"The Prokofiev Violin Concerto has long been one of my favorites, and this work, along with the Corigliano, drew me to this concert. The first movement "Allegro moderato" brought out Erno Kallai, who could not have exuded more confidence and exhilaration."
"Mr. Kallai's sad, mournful violin solo creates a melody of breathless beauty, before the "Allegretto" has his Stradivari dancing in a whirlwind."
"The audience was vocally enthused with this Concerto, and Mr. Kallai returned for multiple bows."
-Dr. Roberta E. Zlokower, Roberta on the Arts, 2008
"...Paganini, Liszt olyan virtuóz előadásban (Kállai Ernő és Balázs János, mindketten a Zeneakadémia előkészítős növendékei), mintha e géniuszok feltámadtak volna, hogy játékukkal újra csodálatba ejtsenek."
-Dr. Donáth Tibor, Semmelweis Egyetem újság, 2004
