As I'm looking through my files it seems as if almost nothing has happened in Chinese-Hungarian relations in the last six months or so. It was in mid-November 2011 that Tamás Fellegi made his last trip to China where he negotiated with Chinese businessmen and bank presidents. After that not much could be heard about major Chinese investments in Hungary. The only things I can recall are the ...

Hordes of music-lovers expected the young Johannes Brahms to produce a symphony, but the composer himself felt half-paralysed by the legacy of his great predecessor Beethoven. After a wait of 22, years he finally produced his Symphony No. 1 in C minor (op. 68), which was universally recognised as a masterpiece. It is said that the melody of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy can be detected in one of the ...

"The Hungarian National Philharmonic again presents an unusually put together but compelling concert programme featuring two large-scale works.

Taking the story of Sophocles’s Women of Trachis and Ovid’s Metamorphoses as his basis, the composer began writing the work on 19 July 1744 and finished on 21 August.
