Overview

Levi's Best is a heartfelt retrospective of Szörényi Levente, one of the most influential figures in the history of Hungarian rock music. Released in 1995 to celebrate his 50th birthday, this compilation was lovingly assembled by his closest friends and artistic collaborators.

The album tracks the evolution of Szörényi's career from the early beat days of the Illés ensemble (e.g., "Little Richard," 1968) through the sophisticated country-rock era of Fonográf (e.g., "Utazás," 1974) and into his later solo explorations. Featuring timeless lyrics by Bródy János, the songs on this disc—such as "Vidéki kislány" and "Kislány, add a kezed"—are considered national treasures in Hungary. This autographed edition serves as a magnificent tribute to the man who composed the rock opera István, a király and redefined the Hungarian musical landscape.

Interesting Facts

• The "50" Jubilee: The album cover prominently features the number 50, marking the half-century milestone of the artist's life.
• A Gift Compilation: Unlike many commercial best-of albums, this was "compiled by the friends of Szörényi Levente," giving it a more personal and respectful touch.
• Master Lyricists: The majority of the songs feature the legendary songwriting partnership between Szörényi and Bródy János, often compared to the Lennon-McCartney of Hungary.
• Historical Sources: The booklet meticulously lists the source albums for each track, including "Nehéz az út" (1968), "Add a kezed" (1972), and "Hazatérés" (1980).
