In 1992 they recorded
their first CD titled Accordion in black and white
. Accordion can be heard in different styles and roles on
the CD, the thread that connects these pieces is the accordionist.
The second CD, titled Thousandfaced Accordion,
was released in 1995. The choice of the pieces is very similar
to the first CD.
Zoltan Orosz (accordion) and Gabor Ursu (guitar) have been

the grandiose success of numerous inland and international
concerts.
