Musical greetings of friendship
Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra will present the four symphonies and four instrumental concertos by Johannes Brahms in four concerts in 2024. Following acclaimed performances of the 2nd and 4th symphonies as well as the 2nd piano concerto and the double concerto in the first half of the year, the 3rd symphony and the violin concerto are now on the program at the start of the new season. The soloist in the latter work, which Brahms wrote for his friend Joseph Joachim, then from western Hungary, is Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, who has been one of the top international violinists since his competition success at the Concours Reine Elisabeth in 1997 and also has an award-winning recording of this piece to his name. Clara Schumann said of the 3rd Symphony, composed four years after the Violin Concerto: »What a work, what poetry, the most harmonious mood throughout, all movements as if cast from a single mold, a heartbeat, every movement a jewel!« These jewels are garnished - as in the other concerts in this series - with selected Hungarian Dances by Brahms, partly in his own orchestral version, partly in arrangements by his friend Antonín Dvořák.
