András Adorján
András Adorján is a Hungarian-born flutist known for his expressive phrasing and rich timbre. He is also a prolific recording artist and has recovered and reintroduced lost and unknown works by several important flute composers.
Adorján was born in 1944 in Budapest, and as a child he played the piano and a Hungarian shepherd's flute. When he was 12 years old, he started taking flute lessons from Vilmos Bántai in Budapest. However, this was quickly interrupted by the beginning of the Hungarian Revolution. Adorján and his family fled to safety in Denmark, where he was eventually able to resume his flute studies with Johan Bentzon and Erik Thomsen. During his years studying dentistry in Copenhagen, he spent every summer at the International Summer Academy in Nice, which was taught by Jean-Pierre Rampal. In 1968, Adorján completed his dentistry schooling and began studying with Aurele Nicolet in Freiburg, which was recommended by Rampal. That same year, he also won the Jacob Gade Prize in Copenhagen and the Concours Internationale de Flûte laureate at Montreux.
After winning the first grand prize of the Concours International de Flûte in Paris in 1971, Adorján began touring internationally and performed with many of the top chamber ensembles and orchestras. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he performed as principal flutist for the Royal Stockholm Opera, the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne, and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Around 1981, he discovered the manuscript for Franz Doppler's Concerto for two flutes, in the attic of the house belonging to Karl Doppler's grandson.
In addition to unearthing lost and forgotten works, Adorján has also commissioned and inspired new works from several contemporary composers, including Ferenc Farkas, Alfred Schnittke, and many others. In 1987, he began teaching at the Musikhochschule in Cologne, and he taught at the Musikhochschule in Munich from 1996 to 2012. He also performs and records in collaboration with his wife, flutist Marianne Henkel, and with his sons, David (cello) and Gabriel (violin). Adorján continues to be in high demand as a lecturer, performer, and recording artist.
