Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

At this Beethoven evening dedicated to the themes of heroism, destiny and glorification, Domonkos Héja will conduct “Coriolan Overture” and “Symphony No. 5”, also known as “Fate Symphony,” as well as the great composer’s “Triple Concerto”. When Ernő Dohnányi played all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos at two consecutive concerts in 1917, the highlight of this programme was Dohnányi’s performance of “Triple Concerto” staged with musical verve befitting Beethoven, as a contemporary review describes. This time, again, we will not have to do without youthful verve as the soloists of the evening will be highly-acclaimed musicians nearing their 30s: the audience will be hearing violinist János Mátyás Stark, cellist Gergely Devich and pianist Fülöp Ránki. Currently performing under the name Trio Haris, this increasingly popular musical ensemble has been working and performing together for years playing such great pieces of chamber music as piano trios by Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and Ravel.
