Hornist

We are pleased to announce that the series presenting the music of the two Viennese masters continues, with Gérard Korsten returning to the BFO after 2024, once again to conduct pieces by Haydn and Mozart. Korsten, who is known for his dynamic temperament and uncompromising attitude towards sound quality, will focus this time on the horns. Depths and heights, lyricism and virtuosity, singing and fireworks, hunting and a serenade, all conveyed by the horns. It seems that Viennese classicism was full of horn virtuosos, as will be captivatingly illustrated not only by the horn concertos listed on the program but also by the two other pieces, in which Haydn and Mozart each included four horns. The soloist for the concertos will be Alessio Allegrini, who has been the principal horn of several ensembles, from La Scala Orchestra to the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic.
