JÁNOS STARKER performs Brahms and Mendelssohn sonatas with GYÖRGY SEBÖK. Does anything more need to be said? Starker's fans cover a half-century span; his artistry in a class of its own; his career stellar; his long-term collaboration with Sebök, near-perfect.

- The New York Times described Starker's wizardry very well: "The pitch is unerringly right, the tone is mellow without being mushy, difficult leaps and runs are manipulated with the easy unobtrusiveness of a magician."
