창립초기부터 지금까지 낙소스(NAXOS)의 간판 피아니스트로 자리매김하고 있는 예뇌 얀도.1952년 남부 헝가리에 있는 페스에서 태어나 피아니스트 예노 얀도(Jeno Jando)는 다양한 작곡가들을 섭렵한 대가로서 무엇보다도 모차르트 전문 연주자로 정평이 나있다. 예노 얀도(Jeno Jando)는 7살 때 피아노를 배우기 시작했고, 1974년 졸업후 조력자가 되는 Katalin Nemes 와 Pal Kadosa 아래 Ferene Liszt음악학교에서 공부를 하였다. 1973년 헝가리 피아노 콩쿠르에서 1위를 수상했고 1977년 시드니 국제 피아노 경연대회에서 실내악 부문 1위를 포함해 헝가리와 외국 대회에서 수차례 수상 한 그는 헝가리 공연과 더불어, 동·서유렵과 중국, 일본에서 폭넓게 연주를 하였다.
If the artistic identities of some performers are bound up with the recording companies that preserved their music-making -- Artur Rubinstein with RCA Red Seal, for example, or Yo-Yo Ma with the crossover-friendly incarnation of Sony/CBS -- then the face of the Naxos label and its repertory-based, high-volume, low-budget ways may well be pianist Jenö Jandó. Jandó was born in the southern Hungarian city of Pécs on February 1, 1952. His mother taught him to play the piano, and he went on to study at the Liszt Academy in Budapest. When he was 18 he took third place in the prestigious Beethoven Piano Competition in Vienna, bringing his name before audiences beyond Hungary. He won the Sydney (Australia) International Piano Competition in 1987, but he didn't become a familiar figure to U.S. album buyers until after the founding of Naxos by the German-born, Hong Kong-based entrepreneur Klaus Heymann in the late 1980s.

Jandó was one of the first artists to emerge from Naxos' efforts to record Eastern European artists on a larger scale than any organization outside the former East bloc had previously done. A Hungarian contact sent a tape of Jandó's playing to the company, and he was picked for one of the new company's showcase products: a complete recording of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. Jandó followed those up with complete tours through Mozart's piano sonatas and concertos, Bach's entire Well-Tempered Clavier, Bartók's piano concertos, and the comparatively rarer Haydn keyboard sonatas. Jandó continued to explore the heart of the traditional repertory, delving into Schubert's sonatas and undertaking a mammoth survey of Bartók's complete piano music. He has also performed chamber music, inclining toward Hungarian compositions, and he also serves as accompanist to his wife, mezzo soprano Tamara Takács.
What suited Jandó so well to the Naxos operation? He is an ideal jack-of-all-classical-trades. His familiarity with the piano literature is wide, and his musical memory is legendary: though he always brings scores of the works he is to play with him to a recording session, he simply lays them to one side and performs from memory. Like Glenn Gould, Jandó is given to humming along with his own playing -- a tendency his producers forestall by placing an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Jandó has expressed the amibition to cap off his career by recording a second complete Beethoven sonata set -- something previously undertaken only by a select group of the keyboard elite.
