Joshua Bell & Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“This Mahler is smart, we should use him more often.” This is what the American producers of the Visconti film Death in Venice are reputed to have said after the first screening, in which Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, the famous Adagietto (and the figure of Mahler) were given such memorable roles. The symphony, which Mahler would have preferred to have first conducted 50 years after his death, has become one of the cornerstones of the concert repertoire. The position of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor is similarly rock-solid. Soloist of the concerto is the eternally youthful Joshua Bell, a favourite of Budapest audiences who is near to becoming an honorary Hungarian and an artist who plays in partnership with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Since their formation in 1929, the ensemble have operated under the direction of superb conductors such as Eliahu Inbal, Dmitri Kitayenko and Paavo Järvi. Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada has directed the orchestra since 2014 and he is present for the concert in the Liszt Academy.
