"This is how I would describe my new world of music, which I created to share with all nations on Earth.
In the past I played classical music, jazz...etc. But I did not find my real personality, this was the reason why I’m now making my own music, which shows my feelings and my soul.
The fusion of my beautiful Stradivarius violin from 1698 with cross-rhythms and soft electronic sounds creates a unique vision of a new musical era.
Working together with co-producer Bernd Hoffmann and several DJ's, I have translated my feelings and emotions into the only truly universal language understood by everyone: music.
I feel blessed to be able not only to understand, but also to speak this amazing language.
Through my music I express THE WAYS I FEEL." - Edvin Marton
The History of Lajos Csury: Written by: Nóra Lakos
"'When I was born, my fate was pegged: in no uncertain terms, I would become a musician,' remembers Marton, formerly known by friends and neighbors as Lajos Csury.
He was born in an area of Ukraine largely inhabited by ethnic Hungarians, and he showed his precocious nature in music school at a young age, completing seven years of curricula in just three. By age 7, he was already playing Mozart violin concertos.
The young Csury studied in Moscow at the Tchaikovsky Central Music School, where 'even getting in was a career-making move.' This was an institution where famed violinists studied. The hallowed halls of tye Tchaikovsky was also where noted cellist and conductor Yuli Turovsky studies, before emigrating to Canada some 25 years ago from Moscow.
His search for a style of music of his own brought him far and wide, meanwhile. His studies in New York at the Juliard School of Music brought professional contacts which meant changes in his musical style. Here, in one of the most revered classical music environments of Juliard, he mingled with DJ's and jumped from high level classical to what is referred today as crossover.
Still in his 20s, Marton had traveled to more than 30 countries, and played in such renowned concert halls as the Berliner Philharmonie and Vienna's Koncerthaus. But he was looking for a change.
'As a classical performer, I played in some of Europe's most important venues,' recalls Marton, 'at the same time it was not my life-long ambition to perform in them yet another 20 times. I just wanted to go further, always dreaming of developing my own show that would be relevant to our times.'
It was not easy to label these new and modern sounds. One reason is that the most important venue for broadcast contemporary music is radio, and today the most popular instrumental sounds is so-called 'trance' or 'techno.' Marton's music is a long-term investment, and harder to introduce to a larger public. Few Hungarian labels are developing in this direction.
But Germany's BMG label took the risk in 2001 and released the music of his new group, Strings 'n' beats, and launched it in numerous countries including Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary. Modern Times: Written by: kiyoshi (webmaster of this myspace)
Edvin Marton has continued to tour the world, and has even accompanied one of his friends, Evgeny Plushenko, who is known as one of the world's best figure skaters at the competitions. By the time he hit the year 2004, he produced a new album called Virtuoso with several covers from Love Story, Romeo and Juliet, and other classical pieces.
