The great partnership of Iván Fischer and his Budapest players make music of supreme intimacy and vitality. The Observer
Budapest Festival Orchestra and music director Iván Fischer are one of the classical music success stories. More than 40 years after its foundation, the well-oiled tandem has become one of the most popular top orchestras in the world. In 2022 the readers of Gramophone voted Budapest Festival Orchestra 'Orchestra of the Year'. In terms of form, Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 is his first symphony that follows the tradition of the genre. For Fischer, it is the most Jewish of Mahler’s symphonies. However most people associate the work with the famous Adagietto. A few years before his death, Felix Mendelssohn wrote his best-known Violin Concerto for his good friend Ferdinand David. The soloist can get stuck in immediately and perform the dreamy first melody. What’s more, the three movements of the concerto flow into one another. For young violinists, it is a calling card. For a seasoned violinist like Renaud Capuçon, it is a fountain of eternal youth.
