Budapest Festival Orchestra

О событии

The Budapest Festival Orchestra and the pianist Arkadi Volodos will perform works by Sibelius, Prokofiev and Schumann under the musical direction of the renown conductor Sir Andrew Davis!

The guest conductor of the Festival Orchestra will be the extremely versatile Sir Andrew Davis. He is equally at home in Baroque, Romantic, Viennese classic and contemporary music.
Sir Davis will accompany Arkadi Volodos in Prokofiev’s second piano concerto. Volodos' meteoric career did not begin with a victory in a big competition. The Russian pianist was found by the head of a record company on a visit to France — “You meet a talent like Volodos once in a lifetime” — and a recording contract followed immediately.

The success story has continued without interruption. A solo recital in Carnegie Hall (the live recording also won numerous prizes), invitations from great orchestras and festivals. The critics most often compare Volodos’s playing to that of Horowitz: brilliant technique, sometimes surprising solutions that avoid conventions but always serve the music, a special ability to charm the listener.
