This concert features three enchanting works: two of them will take us to Vienna, the third to Paris. Opening the programme will be one of the most beautiful waltzes ever written, followed by a short piece by Ravel, and closing it will be one of the most important symphonies in the literature of music, a quite lengthy work that includes one of the most popular movements in the symphonic repertoire, which includes a confession of love expressed in musical notes. The French piano concerto being played between the two Viennese works represents the Gallic spirit – but not only that, as the work also owes a great deal to the influence of American jazz.
At this concert, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra
