Adam Fellegi was a Hungarian pianist renowned for his deep engagement with the works of Russian composer Nikolai Medtner as well as his interpretations of other composers such as Zoltán Kodály. Born in Hungary on October 4, 1924, Fellegi built a career based on his exceptional talent and commitment to musical scholarship. He was both a performer who graced the stages of concert halls with his passionate recitals and an educator dedicated to the study and teaching of piano works, especially from the Romantic period and early 20th century.

Over the years, Fellegi's discography expanded to include a focused exploration of Medtner's compositions, which are featured across several of his albums. His intense study of Medtner's works culminated in several notable recordings that were well-received for their precision, emotional depth, and insight into the composer's intentions. The albums "Medtner: Sonata Op. 5 / Sonata-Triad Op. 11," "Medtner: Sonatas Opp. 22 and 25, Nos. 1 and 2," and "Medtner: Sonata-Ballade / Sonata Reminiscenza" are prime examples of his dedication to this repertoire. Aside from Medtner, Fellegi also recorded the complete piano works of Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, as seen in the album "Kodaly: Complete Piano Music." This project is a reflection of his connection to his national heritage and his ability to infuse his performances with a deep understanding of the cultural context behind the compositions. His "Piano Encores" release showcases his versatility and flair for smaller, yet charming pieces that engage and delight audiences. Adam Fellegi's legacy continues to inspire pianists and classical music enthusiasts who are drawn to the intricate, expressive potential of the piano repertoire.
