Production details
The Budapest Festival Orchestra, celebrated for its spontaneity and fiery intensity, returns with a colourful programme catered to the prowess of this extraordinarily individual orchestra. Conducted by Ivan Fischer, renowned for his originality and galvanising effect on stage, the programme opens with Brahms' vigorous and sombre Tragic Overture. Lalo's playful and virtuosic Symphonie Espagnol for orchestra and solo violin is played by Renaud Capu?on, praised by The Guardian for his masterful combination of 'brilliant' bravura playing and 'unerring lyricism'. Rimsky-Korsakov's much loved Sheherazade closes the concert. Inspired by the fairytales that make up The Arabian Nights (One Thousand and One Nights), it is a work of dazzling, colourful melodies and orchestration infused with a mystical sense of the exotic.
