Requiem, Palace Of Arts Budapest, 12 March
- 12 Mar 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
Although in the last 30 years it was quite unusual for a symphony orchestra to start a concert with works by Bach, 20 years earlier this would not have been surprising at all. With the spread of the historically informed performance movement, modern orchestras 'withdrew' from the Baroque repertoire. Today, however, they are reclaiming this area.
The second half of the Hungarian National ...
