Although Rupa Marya was born on the American West Coast and has Hindi origins, she could easily pass as French on the basis of her albums. After travelling and completing her university education, she settled in San Francisco, where she founded a band alongside her work as a doctor. Of course we are more interested in her music – and there is a lot to see and hear from this tiny but fiery lady ...

Pannon Philharmonic Concert, National Concert Hall Budapest, 21 April

- community & culture
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 ...
Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, National Concert Hall, 6 April
- 3 Apr 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
"The Hungarian National Philharmonic again presents an unusually put together but compelling concert programme featuring two large-scale works. Neither are well-known examples of the concert repertoire – although Schoenberg’s transcription of Brahms’ piano quartet, with its Hungarian-styled finale, is a genuine treat. The Swiss conductor for the evening, Matthias Bamert, learned composition under ...

"Composer Albert Márkos searches for reciprocal influences in music and lyrics from the 1910s, the 1920s and 1930s from Scandinavia to the Balkans, from the Iberian Peninsula to Eastern Europe, with the assistance of six actors and a band.

Handel: Hercules, National Concert Hall Budapest, 21 March
- 20 Mar 2012 8:00 AM
- community & culture
"Even by Handel’s standards for high-speed composition, Hercules was completed in record time. 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. In the meantime, he sent teasing letters to Charles Jennens, the librettist of the work (and of the oratorio Belshazzar), urging him to ...
Opening Concert Of The Budapest Spring Festival, National Concert Hall, 16 March

“I am very glad to be able to tell you that your viola concerto is ready in draft, so that only the score has to be written, which means a purely mechanical work, so to speak. If nothing happens, I can be through in 5 or 6 weeks,” wrote Bartók to violist William Primrose. The score, however, was never written, and Bartók’s last work remained a torso – some even consider it one of the most ...
