The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

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.
