Danubia Orchestra Óbuda A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

József Balog is talked of as being one of the most promising talents of the young pianist generation, someone who has already revealed his exceptional abilities at sensational concerts both here in Hungary and abroad. His recordings have also attracted a storm of praise. The artist, who turns 36 just a few days after this concert, has taken first or second place at seven competitions in nine years, occasions when he has been admired as a remarkable interpreter of primarily Romantic compositions, impressing audiences with unique intonation and extraordinary virtuosity. We can expect something remarkable when he performs the final piano concerto of Liszt student Camille Saint-Saëns, who wrote this exotic work on vacation in Egypt. The other two pieces in the programme are similarly by French artists, both works being the non plus ultra of orchestral interplay, a canvas of a stunning variety of orchestral tones, sounds and characters that recognizes no professional compromise. It is an area that the Danubia Orchestra Óbuda, under the baton of Máté Hámori, feel perfectly at home in, given that over the past more than 20 years they have surely and steadily become one of leading symphonic ensembles in Hungary.
