MÁV Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Gergely Kesselyák first met Russian composer Alexey Rybnikov when the Hungarian was director of the ‘Bartók +’ opera festival in Miskolc. Born in 1945, the composer was a student of Khachaturian. He has written scores for more than one hundred films and has devoted enormous energy to implanting the genres of musical and rock-opera in Russia. Rybnikov composed a grandiose stage work after Tolstoy on the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Borodino. Not only is he known as a composer of film and stage music but of instrumental works, as well. Prior to his composition Capriccio we hear one of Tchaikovsky’s rarely performed works, the orchestral arrangement of Memories of a Dear Place (originally for violin-piano), and after the intermission, the Dante Symphony, one of Ferenc Liszt’s most ambitious orchestral works.
