Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting.
The composer and conductor adapted the work to ...

A Czech conductor, three Czech composers and a Czech violinist: in short, a Czech concert. The programme opens with a suite from Janáček’s most unique opera, The Cunning Little Vixen, followed by (Dvořák’s son-in-law) Josef Suk’s Fantasy, which could be considered a kind of violin concerto.
Playing the solo part will be Jan Mráček, whose pinpoint intonation, phenomenal musicality and ...

While reunions have their own sort of magic, initial meetings are perhaps even more exciting. And for the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, one of Northern Europe’s top ensembles, this will be their first visit to Müpa Budapest.
And they couldn’t pick a better time, either, because they are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year! Since 2017, the orchestra has been led by a conductor ...

Always an eagerly awaited event, Müpa Budapest’s next New Year’s concert, ringing in 2025, promises to be especially so. Ádám Fischer, the permanent conductor of the annual event, will take the podium to present Haydn’s The Seasons, which is heard much less frequently at Müpa Budapest than the composer’s other great oratorio, The Creation.

Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 9 December

A rarely heard suite, a classical concerto, a tribute to Bach and the capstone of a symphonic oeuvre.
This is what this sometimes fiery concert flowing with the air of Northern Europe and conducted by regular BFO guest conductor Robin Ticciati has to offer. Bookending the programme are two works by Sibelius: the first incidental music he wrote for a theatrical play and his Seventh Symphony, ...

More than two hours in length, the work will come to life through a ‘historical’ interpretation using an organ, true to the custom of the time, to accompany the images.
Taking on the role ...
