"She is one of the instinctive and rare gifted ones who live their talent, the faculty and unlearnable knowledge that always provides an extraordinary experience regarding the artistic effect with a curious self confidence. This singer's exeptionally original artistic and musical concept is ready to enter the musical life of Hungary and the world as a real rarity. Kanalas was born to be a singer, and with the kind of initiation that is more and more scarce in the Hungarian singing culture. |
The ringing of her voice, the flexibility and mood of her manner of singing, the spiritual content that she so naturally transmits in her concerts is bound to a great culture spreading as far as the Pacific Ocean, to the sonic world of the so-called Steppe culture, that in old times was rather determinative in Hungarian instrumental and singing culture, too." (György Szabados, pianist, composer) |
