Jan 6, 2026 | Wencke Wallbaum | News | Artists | Release Lajos Rovatkay (1933–2026)

​We have lost a great musician and long-standing collaborator.

With deep gratitude, we bid farewell to Lajos Rovatkay, who, as a pioneer of historical performance practice, brought his immense knowledge of the repertoire and tireless research to our label over many years.

He enriched our catalogue with a recording series of the almost forgotten Haydn predecessor Gregor Joseph Werner. How wonderful that he was able to hold the final CD of the series, which will be released in February, in his own hands.

Thank you for everything, Lajos!
