Reviews and awards

A pianist you have to take account of in the future” Classica

“Okros has the extra something, the exclusive element that runs away from any definition” Israel Hayom"

In such a technical work he does not deprive musicality. This is a rarity! I really enjoyed his interpretation!” Lang Lang about Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 by Okros.

"Luka's touch bring to mind the pianist sensitivity of Pierre Laurent Aimard; the textures are as important as the phrasing, and his intensity is palpable without being hammy." John Keillor. Tickling the tabletops never sounds so nice // The National Post

"He is a strong and natural performer, with an impressive creativity and enormously compelling approach to everything he undertakes." Norma Fisher
