50 Years of the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The entire history (all 50 years) of the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra has been characterized by the harmonious duality of unbroken tradition and consistent renewal. Right back in the early days, final year students of the Liszt Academy would get together to play music under the direction of their influential professor, Frigyes Sándor, although the ensemble rapidly outgrew its role as student orchestra. János Rolla, who has held the office of artistic director since 1979, and his fellow musicians created a globe-trotting and globally renowned orchestra from the 1970s onwards, in the process making landmark recordings and regularly performing with the very best instrumental soloists of the period (Maurice André, Isaac Stern, Jean-Pierre Rampal etc.), while maintaining their own character and unmistakable string orchestral tonalities amidst a consistent and carefully structured rejuvenation over the past decade.
