Budapest Festival Orchestra, Ivan Fischer & József Lendvay: Opéra de Dijon

Sobre el espectáculo

From the Hungarian Peasant Songs and the First Violin Concerto of Bartók the Hungarian to the pastoral Eighth Symphony of Dvorák the Czech, the Budapest Festival Orchestra, with chief conductor Ivan Fischer and violinist József Lendvay swing the doors wide open and let in a fresh breath of air from eastern Europe.

Bartók, a giant of Hungarian musical life, was among the first composers to work toward preserving national character in classical music. With a combination of Austro‐German influences and vigorous Hungarian village songs, Bartók's genius never fails to delight. Dvorák's touching Eighth Symphony, among his most popular and melodious, is a timeless tribute to his Czech heritage.
