...a country (Hungary) whose population, even today, is barely over ten million has produced so many musicians and so much outstanding music. I am grateful for having been born and trained there.

Conductor: Ádám Fischer

In the wake of British and Austrian orchestras, the next concert in the Orchestra in the Centre season ticket series welcomes the Danish Chamber Orchestra, which was founded in 1927. Although the ensemble have performed contemporary works in partnership with rock bands, they are still more closely identified with pure and highly imaginative recitals of the repertoire of the First Viennese School. Under the baton of Ádám Fischer, they have made numerous landmark recordings of Mozart symphonies and operas, while they release an album in the spring of 2019 of Beethoven’s entire symphonies. One of the works they bring to the Academy is Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4. Berlioz was so enamoured by the work that he stated the 2nd movement was not the work of a human but Archangel Michael.

 

 

The concert is followed by CODA – which is an informal conversation with the performers.
