In the final performance of their four-concert season ticket series, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra does almost everything slightly differently to what we would have expected. The ensemble, who often experiment with arrangements, together with István Várdai play a Bach sonata in a chamber orchestral line-up, and then with the participation of the marvellous Juliane Banse we hear Mendelssohn’s well-known songs in an entirely new way, and perhaps it comes as no surprise either: there won’t be eight on the podium when the octet is performed... The concert and the season ticket recitals close in the way the season opened – the orchestra and their superb artistic director express their gratitude for the love and loyalty of the audience with a joint performance.
