Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, National Concert Hall, 13 May |

 "In 1944, a music publisher came up with the idea of assembling an oratorio based on the first book of Creation and commissioned individual movements from composers living in America. The prelude to Genesis was undertaken by Schoenberg, while another, entitled Babel was written by Stravinsky.Schoenberg, who knew at first hand all about Jewish persecution, later wrote his A Survivor from Warsaw. In the second half of the concert, we fly back to peacetime Paris. This is where Vincent d’Indy wrote his symphony János Hunyadi, still unpublished, the discovery of which has been a true sensation. A decade later, Saint-Saëns composed his organ symphony which is dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt.
