Károly Binder is a musician of high calibre, who puts his talents at the service of the synthesis of new trends, different musical cultures, compositional techniques and improvisational systems, not forgetting his own musical roots. He is an autonomous composer whose piano playing and compositions cannot be classified by style or genre. With unrelenting consistency, Binder has pursued the path he set for himself since the late 1970s, a path on which he had no Hungarian predecessors. In his musical development, alongside the immense oeuvre of Béla Bartók, we can clearly trace the influence of the folk music of the Carpathian Basin and the melodic world of the Volga-Kama region, and even the American repetitive school hallmarked by Steve Reich. This time, the Binder Trio's program is based on two pillars: pieces from the For Children series, the centre of the band's latest five-disc release, as well as compositions by the bandleader, in which Bartók's legacy and contemporary jazz engage in dialogue.
