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.

Dávid Bereczky (horn)
Budapesti Fesztiválzenekar
Conductor: Gábor Takács-Nagy

The next instalment in Gábor Takács-Nagy’s Haydn–Mozart series is here! Fortunately for us, the symphonic oeuvre of the two great Viennese classical composers is abundant enough to keep the conductor inspired. The “fantastic positive life energy and vitality” make the art of the two composers inexhaustible, and the conductor even sees their music as a spiritual remedy. The concert is bookended by the first of Haydn’s Paris symphonies, which opened the door to international success for him, and one of the highlights of Mozart’s symphonic output, the “great” Symphony No. 40 in G minor. In between, we’ll hear Mozart's (hunting) horn concerto with soloist Dávid Bereczky. The musician has been a member of the Budapest Festival Orchestra since 2001, and has spearheaded many pieces as a soloist.
