Zugló Philharmonics Budapest A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“It would be a mistake to consider all those treasures amassed by the masters of centuries as museum objects, and not to use them. I don’t think it is our job to discover chords, means, effects never heard before, but rather that we try to build something that is ours and ours alone out of existing treasures. It is obvious that these works are sustained solely through the strength of talent.” János Vajda thus avowed his creed in an interview a few years ago, and there can be few other works that better underpin his attitude than the Magnificat written for solo mezzo-soprano, chorus and orchestra in 1991. The composition, rich in historical stylistic motifs, is performed in the Zugló Philharmonics Budapest’s concert featuring Katalin Gémes, followed by Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade (violin solo by Áron Dóczi) – among the most captivating works of the late 19th century – with conductor Kálmán Záborszky on the podium.
