Programma

Beethoven, Ludwig van:
Egmont-Ouvertüre, op. 84

Bartók, Béla:
Violinkonzert Nr. 2

Tschaikowski, Pjotr Iljitsch:
Symphonie Nr. 4 in f-Moll, op. 36

The Hungarian Symphony Orchestra and the violin player András Keller play compositions by van Beethoven, Bartók and Tchaikovsky under the musical direction of Gábor Takács-Nagy.

The Hungarian Symphony Orchestra’s last season was characterised by new impulses, an experimental repertoire, thematic concerts and a fresh approach. András Keller, the new music director, is reverting to his "original profession" to perform the violin solo in this concert.

And while Keller plays the solo of Bartók’s popular second violin concerto, the conductor’s baton will be wielded by another outstanding violinist, Gábor Takács-Nagy, founder of the famous Takács Quartet who has demonstrated over and over again in recent years that he is able to continue the noblest traditions as a conductor too.
