"Since the beginnings of his artistic career, Ľudovít Kanta has been noted for his extraordinary technical dispositions and musicality. After graduating from the Prague Academy of Performing Arts, he became a concert master of the Slovak Philharmonic cellos and soon after also its regular solo performer. He is a general performer, with a deep understanding of the musical piece, and an ability to adapt to orchestral conditions while remaining sensitive to his chamber partner.
Since the early 1990s he has been a soloist, a concert master, and music professor in Japan and the Slovak audience only rarely gets a chance to witness his musical art at guest performances. Since 1995, he has been teaching the cello at the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts Nagoya."
