Lendvay is "one of the most important members of the generation of Hungarian composers whose careers began in the 1950s. His œuvre includes theatrical, oratorial, orchestral, chamber, and solo instrumental works. In his music classical forms and genres have a significant role. Ideas gained from the works of the 20th-century Hungarian masters, together with abundant humour and many grotesque elements, are blended into an individual style in his works."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.umpgclassical.com/en-GB/Composers/L/Lendvay-Kamillo.aspx|title=Lendvay, Kamilló {{!}} Universal Music Publishing Classical|website=www.umpgclassical.com|access-date=2016-05-27}}</ref>
