Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Italian-Austrian conductor Guido Mancusi, one-time assistant to Riccardo Muti and Ádám Fischer, who in 1991 was awarded a Mozart Medal for the best Mozart performance, takes to the stage of the Liszt Academy at the head of the Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra with a special programme. The concert comprises a new work by bassoon player and composer Rezső Ott, who graduated only a few years ago, Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, which premiered in Budapest. During the 1930s Korngold was one of the most sought-after Hollywood composers, and he wrote the Violin Concerto in 1945 partly to deflect critical distain. The lush Romantic piece dedicated to Alma, widow of Mahler, was debuted by Jasha Heifetz in 1947 and remains his most popular work to this day.
