Budapest Festival Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The Budapest Festival Orchestra launch their end-of-season concert with one of Haydn’s dramatic, so-called ‘Sturm und Drang’ symphonies ‘Mourning’. This is followed by Weber’s Clarinet Concerto in E-flat major, with solo by Roland Csalló (the orchestra’s clarinettist graduated from the Liszt Academy in 2002, and has attained podium finishes at many competitions, being one of the winners of the in-house competition organized by the BFO). After this sparkling concerto it is the turn of a series of dance movements from the husband of Weber’s cousin: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart wrote the K. 571 catalogue number series for a Prague ball; in other words, this is not stylized but in fact genuine dance music. The final work in the concert (performed under the guidance of conductor Gábor Takács-Nagy) is the C major symphony, composed in Salzburg in 1773 when Mozart was 17.
