MÁV Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“I would like to give you certain news of an artistic nature, and I trust that you will be more or less interested in it.” This quotation is from a letter written by Johannes Brahms to his estranged friend and legendary violinist József Joachim in summer 1887, informing him that he was writing a double concerto for violin and cello. Many critics consider the composition, which re-established their friendship, a summation of the Brahms oeuvre: it is not only the soloists who extend their hands to each other, but the symphonic and concerto forms, too. The work is performed by one of the finest South Korean cellists of our day, the Juilliard-trained Meehae Ryo, and concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, Andreas Buschatz, as partner of the MÁV Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Péter Csaba. This pure Brahms-evening also features three Hungarian dances, and after the intermission, Symphony No. 4, composed just a few years before the double concerto.
