Budapest Festival Orchestra

Budapest Festival Orchestra

About the Performance
If their opening concert explores music influenced by their Hungarian home, here Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra cast their net wider to seek out the melodies of their Czech and Romanian neighbours. Both Dvořák and Bartók collected folk tunes and incorporated them in their music. Some of the most sumptuous examples of those musical journeys are included here.
