He has a goal with the world records, he wants to create a private music museum in his hometown under the name Sándor Thurzó Music History Museum and Music Archive.
Two-time Guinness World Record holder Zoltán Thurzó is preparing for two more world peaks this year: the pianist from Nagyvárad wants to go to India in June to hold a piano concert at the top of the world's highest passable road (at 5,883 meters). The artist, who was awarded the Hungarian Culture Award, is preparing for touching moments afterwards: on October 23, the one-year anniversary of his mother's death, he wants to break the world record for a note he made in half a minute.
In 2022, Zoltán Thurzó set two new Guinness world records: He broke the world record for his piano concert at the highest point in the world with the title Himnusz a magasban in Nepal, at the base camp of Mount Everest, and thus became the top holder in this category.
As part of the Anthem in the Heights project, he held 132 piano concerts held at 5,325.77 meters, during which he played 37 works of classical music, as well as the anthems of 27 different nations on the concert piano.
He played the Hungarian and Székely national anthems with all the verses, the rest with one verse.
105 days later, in Nagyvára, he successfully broke the Guinness World Record for the world's longest piano marathon, and thus became the leader in this category as well.
He has a goal with the world records, he wants to create a private music museum in his hometown under the name Sándor Thurzó Music History Museum and Music Archive.
Zoltán Thurzó is convinced that music can be a tool to make the world a better place. So it is no wonder that this year he is preparing for two more records, which he hopes will be supported by as many people as possible.
"This June, I want to go to India to give a piano concert on the top of the world's highest road (at 5,883 meters), which would again be a Guinness World Record, which would set the category of playing the piano at the highest point in the world in an undecidable position. On October 23rd, on the one-year anniversary of my mother's death, I would like to break the world record for a note played in half a minute. I feel that I can fulfill both commitments," said Sándor Thurzó.
