Budapest Festival Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Three eras, three genres. The Australian assistant conductor of the BFO’s Music Director, Vladimir Fanshil, will be making his debut with a varied programme in the orchestra’s new Rising Stars series. The concert begins with a gem, rare to Hungarian concert halls. Mikhail Glinka’s Waltz Fantasy is reminiscent of grand balls; he composed it for piano four hands in 1839, and later orchestrated it in 1856. The inscription “Concertone di Wolfgango Amadeo Mozart” stood on the manuscript of Mozart’s K. 190 composition. Concertone means ‘grand concerto’; it is a transition between the genres of concerto grosso, already going out of fashion at the time, and the sinfonia concertante. The concerto was written for two violins, although Mozart also provided plenty of opportunity for the oboe and cello to shine. The Seventh Symphony is Prokofiev’s last complete orchestral work, its characteristics are rich, flowing melodies, simplicity and transparency. His colleague, Shostakovich, lauded Prokofiev’s swan song with warm words.
