Summer sun nourishes winter fruits
Iván Fischer, conducting the Budapest Festival Orchestra, dedicates an entire evening in February to the passionate summer holidaymaker Johannes Brahms. As Brahms himself - of necessity - usually had to perform his works in the cold season, he liked to retreat to idyllic locations during his holidays so that he could compose there undisturbed. The fruits of his labour thus ripened to a large 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 universally interpreted as the most cheerful expression of Brahms' closeness to nature. But also his 2nd Piano Concerto with Vadym Kholodenko at the piano and, above all, the two »Hungarian Dances«, which Iván Fischer precedes each half of the concert as a hearty overture.
