Summer sun nourishes winter fruits
Iván Fischer dedicates an entire evening in February on the podium of his Budapest Festival Orchestra to the passionate summer visitor Johannes Brahms. Since Brahms himself had to perform his works - by necessity - mostly in the cold season, he liked to retreat to idyllic locations during his vacations so that he could compose undisturbed. The fruits of his labor thus ripened to a good extent under the rays of the summer sun and will now also warm the Great Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus with their glow. Especially the 2nd Symphony, which is interpreted everywhere as the most cheerful expression of Brahms' closeness to nature. But also his 2nd Piano Concerto with the phenomenal Yefim Bronfman at the piano and even more so the two »Hungarian Dances«, which Iván Fischer prefaces each half of the concert as a hearty overture.
