Biography

Miklós Perényi is recognised as one of the great cellists of his generation, with a distinctive, subtly nuanced sound matched by extraordinary musicality.
Born in Hungary, he began cello lessons at the age of five with Miklós Zsámboki, a student of David Popper. At the age of nine, he gave his first concert in Budapest and went on to study between 1960 and 1964 with Enrico Mainardi in Rome and, in Budapest, with Ede Banda. In 1963 he became a prizewinner at the International Pablo Casals Cello Competition in Budapest. Casals invited him to his master classes in Puerto Rico in 1965 and 1966, and he went on to become a frequent visitor to the Marlboro Festival.

In 1974, Miklós Perényi joined the faculty at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, where he has held a professorship since 1980. He was honoured with the Kossuth-Prize in 1980 and the Bartók-Pásztory-Prize in 1987.

Perényi has appeared in the world’s major musical centres, performing regularly around Europe, in Japan and China and in North and South America. His festival engagements have included Edinburgh, Lucerne, Prague, Salzburg, Vienna, Hohenems, Warsaw, Berlin, Kronberg, and the Pablo Casals Festival in Prades in France.

With a repertoire ranging from the 17th century to the present, he appears as a soloist with orchestra, in solo and duo recitals and in chamber ensembles. Beyond performing and teaching, he also devotes his energies to composition of works for solo cello and for instrumental ensembles of various sizes.
Among his closest colleagues is the pianist András Schiff, with whom he has appeared at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, the Edinburgh Festival and the Ruhr Festival. Recently, the duo played at Cologne’s Philharmonie, the Schwetzingen Festival, London’s Wigmore Hall and the 92nd Street in New York.
Highlights of the 2011/2012 season include orchestra and chamber concerts at Tonhalle Zurich, Konzerthaus Vienna, in Salzburg, Barcelona, Munich, Basel, Brugge and Budapest. Perenyi will be performing, among other works, Péter Eötvös' Cello Concerto, which he premiered in the previous season with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Miklós Perényi’s numerous recordings include releases for Hungaroton, EMI, Sony Classical, Teldec, Decca, col legno and Erato. Among the prizes for his ECM release of Beethoven’s complete works for cello and piano, with András Schiff, was the Cannes Classical Award 2005. In 2009 a live recording of a recital with Dénes Várjon of works by Bach, Britten and Brahms was released on Wigmore Hall’s own label. In 2011, his new solo recording with works of Britten, Bach and Ligeti will be released by ECM.

Der ungarische Cellist Miklós Perényi ist einer der großen Cellisten seiner Generation. Die Besonderheit seines Spiels wird von seinem unnachahmlichen feinen und nuancierten Klang gepaart mit herausragender Musikalität, die stets im Mittelpunkt seines Spiel steht, geprägt.
Mit fünf Jahren erhielt er seinen ersten Cello-Unterricht bei Miklós Zsámboki, einem Studenten von David Popper, mit neun Jahren gab er seinen ersten Konzertabend in Budapest. Seine weitere Entwicklung - zwischen 1960 und 1964 - verdankt er Enrico Mainardi in Rom und Ede Banda in Budapest. 1963 war Miklós Perényi Preisträger beim Internationalen Casals-Wettbewerb in Budapest. Casals berief ihn 1965/1966 zu seinen Meisterkursen in Puerto Rico und es folgten etliche Sommer beim Marlboro Festival.

Seit 1974 unterrichtet Miklós Perényi an der Budapester Franz-Liszt-Akademie, wo er seit 1980 eine Professur innehat. Für sein musikalisches Wirken wurde er 1980 mit dem Kossuth-Preis und 1987 mit dem Bartók-Pásztory-Preis ausgezeichnet.
Seine solistische Karriere führt ihn in alle großen Musikzentren der Welt. Er war Gast bei den Musikfestivals in Edinburgh, Luzern, Prag, Salzburg, Wien, Hohenems, Warschau und Berlin, beim Cello-Festival in Kronberg und beim Festival Pablo Casals in Prades (Frankreich). Miklós Perényi verfolgt in den europäischen, amerikanischen ebenso wie in den fernöstlichen Ländern eine rege Konzerttätigkeit.
Sein Repertoire umfasst Werke vom 17. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart, die er in zahlreichen Konzerten mit Orchester, in Solo- und Duo-Rezitals sowie bei Kammermusikabenden präsentiert.

Neben seinen Konzertauftritten und dem Unterrichten bildet die Komposition von Werken für kleinere und größere Instrumentalensembles und Cello-Solo einen weiteren Schwerpunkt seiner Tätigkeit.
Eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit András Schiff spiegelt sich in Konzerten bei der Schubertiade in Schwarzenberg, beim Edinburgh Festival und beim Ruhr-Festival wieder. Zuletzt konzertierten die Künstler erfolgreich in der Philharmonie Köln, bei den Schwetzinger Festspielen, in der Wigmore Hall London und bei 92nd Street in New York.

In der Saison 2011/2012 wird Miklós Perényi bei Orchester- und Kammermusikkonzerten unter anderem in der Tonhalle Zürich, dem Konzerthaus Wien, in Barcelona, Salzburg, München, Basel, Brügge und in Budapest zu erleben sein. Unter anderem wird er mit dem Cellokonzert von Péter Eötvös zu erleben sein, dass er in der vergangenen Saison zusammen mit den Berliner Philharmonikern uraufführte.
Miklós Perényi ist auf zahlreichen Einspielungen zu hören, u.a. bei Hungaroton, bei EMI-Quint, Sony Classics, Decca, col legno, Teldec und Erato.
