Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

This season the “Understandable Music” series of the Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok (with conductor Gábor Hollerung) pays tribute to “World citizens of Hungarian music”. The concert revolves around Ernő Dohnányi, former director of the Liszt Academy and pianist role model of the young Bartók, who was perhaps the most fascinating pianist of the first half of the 20th century, as well as a hugely important composer. Through Gábor Hollerung’s production we can learn not only about Dohnányi’s career – which spanned continents and is rich in its diversity – but also one of his most witty works, the extremely virtuosic piano variations with orchestral accompaniment composed to the children’s song Hull a pelyhes fehér hó (“Flakes of white snow are falling”). Kossuth Prize-winner Jenő Jandó, one-time teacher at the Liszt Academy, is the soloist.
