Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Michael Collins is a top-ranked clarinettist. At the age of 16 he was voted the BBC’s Young Artist of the Year. When he was 22 he took to the stage of Carnegie Hall, and today he is the most employed wind soloist of the BBC Proms series. In 2007, as one of the leading artists of Great Britain, he received the Royal Philharmonic Society prize Artist of the Year, following in the footsteps of the likes of Itzhak Perlman, Mitsuko Uchida, Murray Perahia and András Schiff. He performs one of the last and most beautiful compositions Mozart wrote for his instrument. He recently recorded the piece with the Russian National Orchestra, under conductor Mikhail Pletnev. The similarly world-famous Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra have selected two specialities alongside the Mozart opus. Vanhal was one of the most recognized composers of the First Viennese School, and he is reputed to have played string quartets with his two contemporaries Mozart and Haydn. Interestingly, the Symphony in G minor was published in the same year, 1773, that Mozart composed his so-called ‘little’ Symphony in G minor. The string sextet of Romantic Viennese artist Johannes Brahms was composed 90 years later, and its arrangement for string orchestra is rarely heard in the concert hall.
