Role of the Musician in the 21st Century
By Daniel Wnukowski
The internet has revolutionized the speed in which people can communicate their thoughts, beliefs and artistic values. Are online classical musicians ready to jump on the bandwagon and explore its myriad possibilities, or should they withdraw from its rampant growth and continue to perform in a way that worked for our ancestors hundreds of years ago?

I am often asked to repeat his name…
Cziffra – Gyorgy Cziffra.
(OK, so it’s not as easy to remember as Bond – James Bond.)
But I am very pleased to see the revival of Cziffra amongst today’s listening audience. Gyorgy Cziffra was a Hungarian composer/pianist who lived at the heart of the 20th century’s greatest virtuosi. Although he was born in 1921 to a poor family of gypsy musicians, it wasn’t until 1947 that he was able to grow his career due to military services and even being a POW. In spite of wide acclaim, he (like Horowitz at one point) abandoned his career until the early 1990s when he gave a concert in Paris.

I needed this experience to get away from my stressful pianist lifestyle. It was a form of spiritual rejuvenation. For weeks we didn’t have any hot water and a few times I ate food so spicy, that I literally fainted seeing stars and visions of the maharaja in front of my eyes. We were a fun group of wild musicians and hit some of the major cities including Chennai, Mysore, Bangalore, Delhi, and Agra where we concluded with the monumental Taj Mahal.
