Consisting of established musicians of the Hungarian jazz scene, Viktor Toth Arura Trio fascinates with their sheer power, virtuosity, organic harmony and Toth's concentrated compositions. The CD is the recording of their 2nd Opus Jazz Club gig in 2014, with an unusually restrained, strikingly emotional, ballad-like program, interspersed with deep lyricism, great melodies and spiritual tension.

Press Quotes
Rather than trying to squeeze more emotion out of frequently recorded standards, all the tunes here are his originals. Plus besides help in the rhythmic bottom he gets from double bassist György Orbán, also part of his working trio, what would be the chordal role in other situations is taken by the cimbalom of Miklós Lukács. Lukács, whose command of the multi-string hammered dulcimer has meant that he has worked with everyone from symphony orchestras to folk ensembles to the Jazz groups of Mihály Dresch, brings needed spaciousness and freedom to the tracks. Like a one-man-band demonstrating his skills at a too serious party, Lukács is able to make his Hungarian trapezoid board zither pose as George Shearing's piano, Milt Jackson's vibes or Jim Hall's guitar at intervals. All three stylists were experts at this sort of balladic style and Lukács joins stellar company.
