Conductor: Christoph Eschenbach
Christoph Eschenbach is an exceptional figure of international music, who has gone from being a pianist to becoming a highly acclaimed conductor. One of the most exciting interpreters of the German repertoire, he is also devoted to nurture young talent. He seeks out those who are “one hundred percent artists”; like Felix Mendelssohn was in his time, who composed his brilliant Double Concerto in D minor at the age of 14 and later published an extended version with woodwinds and timpanis. This evening, the audience will hear this final version. This time, we will hear this rediscovered opus performed by the up-and-coming Hungarian–Egyptian violinist Amira Abouzahra, and pianist Zoltán Fejérvári, who is known for his unique style. The MÁV Symphony Orchestra’s concert will close with the piece that Austrian genius Gustav Mahler debuted with in 1889, his Symphony No. 1. In this monumental work entitled Titan, the charm of German natural romanticism is forming a harmonious whole with the elegance of contemporary Vienna and the gentle irony of klezmer.
