Wonder bred from the danube heritage
Revisiting Iván Fischer and his orchestra, ultimate revelation of the masterpieces from Russia, Germany and Austria
Founded in 1983 by Iván Fischer and Zoltán Kocsis, the Budapest Festival Orchestra has established itself as one of the ten leading orchestras of the world in its first 30 years. Fischer’s leading and innovative visionary has made the BFO’s swift rise as one of the greatest success stories in the past three decades of classical music.
With musicians hailed by The Times as “drawn from the cream of Hungary’s younger players,” the BFO is loved by audiences and praised by international critics for its intense and emotionally gripping performances.
In the first concert, BFO will showcase the well-known and exotic "Polovtsian Dances" and dramatic Glazunov’s A minor Violin Concerto. And the second concert features the music from Romanticism. With the presentation of works written by two great Austrian composers, Schubert and Bruckner, by this topmost orchestra of Hungary, it brings back the memory of the artistic glory of Austria-Hungary.
