Budapest Festival Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

This Budapest Festival Orchestra concert starring the double bass and bassoon is compulsory listening for enthusiasts of deep-note instruments. Contemporary of Mozart and Haydn, Johann Baptist Vanhal’s Double Bass Concerto (one of the most attractive works in the none-too-rich repertoire of solo compositions for this instrument) is performed by Zsolt Fejérvári, double-bass leader of BFO, while Rossini’s Bassoon Concerto is handled by Andrea Bressan, an Italian bassoonist with the orchestra. The two concertos are joined by three orchestral works: a rarely played piece by Haydn, the G minor symphony from the ‘Sturm und Drang’ period, one of Mozart’s dance series, works written for the ball season of 1789, and the popular Symphony No. 39 in E flat major, all under the baton of Gábor Takács-Nagy.
