I am not exaggerating when I say that, whatever I achieved as a musician, I owe more to Leó Weiner than to anyone else. ... To me, he remains an outstanding example of what a musician should be.

The Budapest Strings Chamber Orchestra (concertmaster: János Pilz, artistic director: Károly Botvay)

This concert by Zoltán Fejérvári and Budapest Strings features pieces by two composers, Bach and Shostakovich, which allow artists to give full expression to tone, character and emotion. The audience can revel in light-heartedly joyful and lyrical moments, as well as musical expositions of grotesque or indeed tragically disenchanting situations. Zoltán Fejérvári performs two concertos, while the orchestra have the opportunity to reveal their dedication to chamber music in a work that the author, Shostakovich, originally intended for a string quartet.
