The second one, entitled Der Hutmacher, received its premiere in Regensburg in 2008. His works have garnered significant recognition internationally, including at the Tribune Internationale des Compositeurs as well as with the World Music Days of the International Society of Contemporary Music. He was awarded the Internationales Arbeitskreis für Musik Prize, and the Bärenreiter Hausmusik Prize, and in Hungary the Kossuth Prize, the Erkel Prize and twice both the Bartók–Pászthory Awards, as well as the Artisjus Prize. He is also the recipient of the title of Merited Artist Award. His works are available on the CD with various labels, including Hungaroton, Budapest Music Center, and Fonó.
