Modern Art Orchestra: 'Ella & Louis', Opus Jazz Club Budapest, 14 September
- 14 Sep 2021 8:00 PM
- contemporary
Ella and Louis is an inspired collaboration, masterminded by producer Norman Granz.
Both artists were riding high at this stage in their careers, and Granz assembled a stellar quartet of Oscar Peterson (piano), Buddy Rich (drums), Herb Ellis (guitar) and Ray Brown (bass).
Equally inspired was the choice of material, with the gruffness of Armstrong's voice blending like magic with ...
István Várdai & Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Palace Of Arts, 10 May
- 10 May 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
The modern accepted principles for structuring concert programmes were developed in the second half of the 20th century.
Prior to that, a more liberal logic for planning concerts prevailed. It used to be common to play just one or two movements from longer works or to embellish a lengthy work by inserting excerpts from another piece in the middle and then resuming the original music as though ...
'La Lumière Comique', Palace Of Arts, 29 April
- 29 Apr 2021 7:30 PM
- classical
It has been said many times that great music does not necessarily require the highest quality text, and some go so far as to say that some music can even be hindered from developing fully when the melody is paired with words that claim a position of equal rank.

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 ...
