Zsombor Sidoo's interpretation of music spanning from Bach to Carter reveals an exceptional sincerity, which comes as a result of a very deep understanding of every element of the music. Sidoo's performance is not only exceptionally well-informed, but also well-felt and therefore well-delivered to a degree that I did know was possible on the guitar. He's certainly one of the most outstanding guitarists of our time.
Petrit Ceku
Zsombor is, in my opinion, one of the greatest talents on guitar scene in 21 Century. He is a true artist, that has it all: sensitivity, perfect technique and an incredible knowledge.
Lukasz Kuropaczewski
Zsombor Sidoo is one of the most exciting musicians I have ever heard on classical guitar. His deep way to make music, elegant, cultured, never affected and always looking for the most profound message and beauty, is something unique to me. A musician with the ability to grasp every minimum detail and nuance in every work, from the Renaissance to the contemporaries. A sublime artist! An authentic virtuoso of music!
Paolo Pegoraro
The Hungarian classical guitarist, Zsombor Sidoo, is undoubtedly one of the most promising guitarists of his generation. Born in 1997, he received his early musical influences from József Eötvös at the Franz Liszt Academy for Music in Budapest. Since 2013, he has been studying with Paolo Pegoraro at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Graz, and in 2019, he completed a Master's degree with the highest possible honours. Now, he is pursuing his Doctor Artium studies. As well as performing, he has been studying composition with the Swiss-born Austrian composer and conductor Beat Furrer.
Despite his young age, Zsombor Sidoo has won many competitions in Hungary, Italy, Germany and Austria and regularly gives concerts at prestigious venues such as the Ehrbarsaal in Vienna, Mozarthaus in Augsburg, Konzerthaus Klagenfurt, Musikhalle Markneukirchen and the Fricsay Hall in Szeged. His debuting CD with three sonatas by J.S. Bach, Manuel María Ponce and Hans Werner Henze was released in October 2019.
