News Nov. 2007:

2007 seems to be my "year of the duos." For me, playing in duos is very thrilling. Music emerges out of the moment as a spontaneous reaction to my partner's improvisations. These moments of surprise are such a great pleasure. You enjoy your partner's playing and your own reactions to it. Both inspire each other. It is the pure delight of making music! It started in February with a concert in Budapest, "The Art of Duos" - with Arild Andersen, László Dés, David Friedman, Markus Stockhausen, Paolo Vinaccia, and Dhafer Youssef. It was a great night for me and - according to the feedback - to the audience also!  Then I was lucky to meet József Lendvai on stage. And in June in Bolzano there was another encounter with the wonderful harmonica player Howard Levy. I very much enjoyed the concerts with Bobby McFerrin and the tour with Tony Lakatos through Japan. 

And finally the duo CD with Markus Stockhausen is now available!

new CD and DVD :  

Ferenc Snétberger & Markus Stockhausen: STREAMS

buy at enja records

Collaborators since the late nineties, Snétberger and Stockhausen presented their first recorded duets on Ferenc' album "For My People". Since then they have further developed their very own way of duet improvisation -- shining with melodic inventiveness, thrilling rhythms, classical discipline, technical risks and flashes of inspiration. Says Snétberger: "Markus triggers things in my playing that I normally would not play. This kind of immediate communication is something very unusual." And Stockhausen adds: "This is the way we work: spontaneous ideas, puzzling over them, writing them down. A joint effort, a style of its own. We meet on the basis of our different biographies and preferences. And this works out in an outstanding way."

Most of the pieces on "Streams" are based on certain ideas or older originals. "We just take the time to listen to one another. Both of us have their share of melancholy, so we feel similar in many respects", Stockhausen explains. The result are ten miraculous pieces filled with beauty, joy and tears.

In concert in Berlin Passionskirche 2007 december 30.

With natural ease and on the highest level the three of them bring together choice compositions, technical skills, improvisational drive and musical fantasy. Released in fall 2005, their debut album "Nomad" was greeted with enthusiasm by critics and listeners.

"Zehn Reisende verpassen am Silvesterabend die letzte Fähre. Ein winziger alter Dampfer ist für sie die letzte Chance, ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Die ereignisreiche Überfahrt zwingt sie unverhofft, ihre kleinen und großen Lebenslügen vor den anderen und sich selbst zu bekennen. In dieser Tragikomödie in der Tradition von Kusturica, Kaurismäki, Moodisson und Jeunet, wird mit viel hintersinnigem, abgründigem Humor, aber auch sehr liebevoll in die seelischen Abgründe der Figuren geblickt. Es ist eine Geschichte über Lügen und Wahrheiten, begleitet von viel Musik und Tanz und Delikatessen."
