'Early Music Festival', Palace of Arts Budapest

• 22 Feb 2023 3:40 PM

Why do many folks in Hungary like early music so much? Because it’s new! Indeed, with each performance of works of past centuries, audiences always get an unexpected, astonishing experience.

So if you’re searching for novelty, then dig deep – listen to what’s old! For example, Bach’s cello suites will have their musical universality freshly revealed by the hands of István Várdai.

Also the festive glitter of Venice can be heard by the bright sound of the trumpet, as explored and interpreted by Gábor Boldoczki and the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra.

The encounter between the cerebral, elegantand inexhaustibly imaginative Rameau and heroes of mythology will be evoked by the world-class soloists in the production by György Vashegyi and his Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra: Judith van Wanroij, Véronique Gens, Reinoud Van Mechelen and Tassis Christoyannis.
